 elect three directors, (2) approve, on a nonbinding advisory basis, the compensation paid to our named executive officers in 2024, (3) approve the Match Group, Inc. Amended and Restated 2024 Stock and Annual Incentive Plan, (4) ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young as Match Group’s independent registered public accounting firm for the 2025 fiscal year, (5) approve an amendment to Match Group’s Certificate of Incorporation to declassify its Board of Directors (the "Board") and (6) approve a stockholder proposal to declassify the Board, if properly presented at the Annual Meeting. Match Group’s Board of Directors believes that the proposals being submitted for stockholder approval are in the best interests of Match Group and its stockholders. The Board recommends a vote consistent with the Board’s recommendation for each proposal.

It is especially important this year that your shares be represented and voted at the Annual Meeting regardless of the size of your holdings. Whether or not you plan to participate in the Annual Meeting online, please take the time to vote online, by telephone or, if you receive a printed proxy card, by returning a marked, signed and dated proxy card. If you participate in the Annual Meeting online, you may vote your shares online at that time if you wish, even if you have previously submitted your vote.

As you may have seen, Anson Investments Master Fund LP and certain of its affiliates (collectively, “Anson”) has nominated Kelley Morrell, Funmibi (Fumbi) Chima and Laura Lee (each, an "Anson Nominee" and together, the “Anson Nominees”) for election as directors at the Annual Meeting in opposition to the nominees recommended by the Board.

The Board does not endorse the Anson Nominees and unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” the election of the three nominees proposed by the Board (Stephen Bailey, Melissa Brenner and Alan G. Spoon), and as the Board recommends on all other proposals recommended by the Board using the WHITE proxy card. You may receive solicitation materials from Anson, including proxy statements and Blue proxy cards and Blue voting instruction forms. Match Group is not responsible for the accuracy or completeness of any information provided by or relating to Anson or the Anson Nominees contained in solicitation materials filed or disseminated by or on behalf of Anson or any other statements Anson may make.

The Board recommends that you simply DISREGARD and do NOT return Anson’s
