This Report on Schedule 13D is being filed by Barry Diller following the closing on June 30, 2020 of the transactions contemplated by that certain Transaction Agreement (the “Transaction Agreement”), dated as of December 19, 2019 and amended as of April 28, 2020 and June 22, 2020, by and among (i) the Company, (ii) IAC Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (now known as IAC/InterActiveCorp (“New IAC”)), (iii) Match Group Holdings II, LLC (formerly known as Valentine Merger Sub LLC), a Delaware limited liability company (“Match Merger Sub”), and (iv) the Delaware corporation formerly known as Match Group, Inc. that was merged into Match Merger Sub in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement (“Old Match”). The Report on Schedule 13D, as amended and supplemented, originally filed with the Commission by Mr. Diller on August 29, 1995 (the “Diller Schedule 13D”) is hereby amended and supplemented to include the information set forth herein.
This amended statement on Schedule 13D/A (this “Amendment”) constitutes Amendment No. 40 to the Diller Schedule 13D. Capitalized terms not defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Diller Schedule 13D.
Item 1. Security and Issuer.
Item 1 of the Diller Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:
This Report on Schedule 13D relates to the common stock, par value $.001 per share (CUSIP: 44919P508) (the “Old IAC Common Stock”), of the Delaware corporation formerly known as IAC/InterActiveCorp (“Old IAC”) which is now named Match Group, Inc. (“New Match” or the “Company”) and the common stock, par value $.001 per share (CUSIP: 57667L107) (the “New Match Common Stock”), of New Match. The Company’s principal executive offices are located at 8750 North Central Expressway, Suite 1400, Dallas, Texas 75231.
Item 2. Identity and Background.
The information contained in Item 2 of the Diller Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following information:
In connection with the Separation (as defined in Item 4 below), Mr. Diller resigned from his position as a member of the board of directors of the Company and following the Separation no longer serves as an officer of the Company.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
The information contained in Item 3 of the Diller Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following information:
The information contained in Item 5 below is incorporated by reference in this Item 3.
Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction.
The information contained in Item 4 of the Diller Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following information:
On June 30, 2020, pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, the parties to the Transaction Agreement completed the separation of the businesses of Old Match from the remaining businesses of Old IAC (the “Separation”) through a series of transactions that resulted in the pre-transaction stockholders of Old IAC owning shares in two, separate public companies—(1) New Match, which retained the businesses of Old Match and certain Old IAC financing subsidiaries, and (2) New IAC, which was renamed “IAC/InterActiveCorp” and which retained IAC’s other businesses—and the pre-transaction stockholders of Old Match (other than Old IAC) owning shares in New Match.
Prior to the Separation, Mr. Diller and related entities held an aggregate of 144,485 shares of Old IAC Common Stock and 5,789,499 shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Old IAC (“Old IAC Class B Common Stock”), and Mr. Diller held vested options to acquire 1,300,000 shares of Old IAC Common Stock.
In connection with the Separation, each outstanding share of Old IAC Common Stock and each outstanding share of Old IAC Class B common stock was reclassified, in part, into 2.1584 shares of New Match Common Stock (with cash paid in lieu of fractional shares).
In addition, each option to purchase shares of Old IAC Common Stock (an “Old IAC Common Stock Option”) that was outstanding as of December 19, 2019, and immediately prior to the completion of the Separation, was converted, in part, into an option to purchase a number of shares of New Match Common Stock equal to 2.1584 multiplied by the number of shares of Old IAC Common Stock underlying such Old IAC Common Stock Option, with a spread value based on the spread value applicable to such Old IAC Common Stock Option, subject to certain adjustments, and otherwise subject to the same terms and conditions as the terms and conditions applicable to such Old IAC Common Stock Option immediately before the Separation. All restricted stock units in respect of Old IAC Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the completion of the Separation were converted into adjusted restricted stock units in respect of New IAC common stock.
As a result of the Separation, Mr. Diller ceased to beneficially own any shares of Old IAC Common Stock or Old IAC Class B Common Stock and acquired beneficial ownership of an aggregate of 15,613,827 shares New Match Common Stock issued in respect of the previously beneficially owned shares of Old IAC Common Stock and Old IAC Class B Common Stock, as further described in Item 5 below, which information is incorporated by reference in this Item 4.
Depending on market conditions and other factors, Mr. Diller may from time to time (i) purchase additional shares of New Match Common Stock in the open market or in private transactions or (ii) sell or otherwise dispose of all or some of the shares of New Match Common Stock described herein by public or private sale, gift, pledge or otherwise. Subject to the foregoing Mr. Diller does not have any current plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions set forth in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
The information contained in Item 5 of the Diller Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following information:
(a) — (b) As of the date of this Amendment, Mr. Diller beneficially owns an aggregate of 15,613,827 shares of New Match Common Stock, representing approximately 6.0% of the outstanding New Match Common Stock (calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3), consisting of: (i) 3,576,628 shares of New Match Common Stock held directly, (ii) 8,264,826 shares of New Match Common Stock held by certain trusts established for the benefit of Mr. Diller’s family (the “Descendants Trusts”), over which Mr. Diller has sole voting and investment power, (iii) 2,805,920 shares of New Match Common Stock underlying stock options, over which Mr. Diller has sole investment and voting power, (iv) 962,760 shares of New Match Common Stock held by a trust for the benefit of certain of Mr. Diller’s family members (the “TALT Trust”), over which Mr. Diller may be deemed to have the right to acquire investment power within 60 days as a result of his ability to designate a replacement for Mr. Diller's stepson, Mr. Alexander von Furstenberg, as investment advisor, and (v) 3,693 shares of New Match Common Stock held by a family foundation, as to which Mr. Diller has shared voting and investment power and as to which Mr. Diller disclaims beneficial ownership. Mr. Diller has sole voting and investment power over all shares of New Match Common Stock held directly and held in the Descendants Trusts, and Mr. von Furstenberg has sole voting and investment power over shares of New Match Common Stock held by the TALT Trust.
As of the date of this Amendment, Mr. Diller does not beneficially own any shares of Old IAC Common Stock or Old IAC Class B Common Stock (which classes of stock were eliminated in the Separation transactions).
(e) Mr. Diller ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than 5.0% of the Old IAC Common Stock on June 30, 2020.
