 we refer to as the “say on pay proposal,” is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather our overall compensation program and policies relating to our named executive officers.

As described in detail in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section of this proxy statement, our executive officer compensation program is designed to increase long term stockholder value by attracting, retaining, motivating and rewarding leaders with the competence, character, experience and ambition necessary to enable Match Group to meet its growth objectives.

We believe that our executive officer compensation program, with its balance of short-term and long-term incentives, rewards sustained performance that is aligned with long-term stockholder interests. Accordingly, we believe that the compensation paid to our named executive officers in 2024 pursuant to our executive officer compensation program was fair and appropriate and are asking our stockholders to vote "FOR " the adoption of the following resolution:

“ RESOLVED , that the stockholders of Match Group, Inc. (the “Company”) approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers for 2024 , as disclosed in the Company’s Proxy Statement for the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders pursuant to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s compensation disclosure rules, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the Executive Compensation tables and the related narrative discussion.”

The approval, on an advisory basis, of the say on pay proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the shares of Match Group common stock present at the Annual Meeting in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the matter. The vote is advisory in nature and therefore not binding on us or our Board. However, our Board and Compensation and Human Resources Committee value the opinions of all of our stockholders and will consider the outcome of this vote when making future compensation decisions for our named executive officers.

The Company last sought a say on pay vote at its 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and last sought a non-binding advisory vote from its stockholders on the frequency of seeking the say on pay vote (required by applicable law every six years) at its 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Based on voting results from the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, and consistent with the Company’s recommendation, say on pay votes currently occur every year. Accordingly, the next say on pay vote is currently scheduled to be held at the Company’s 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

The Board recommends that our stockholders vote "FOR " the advisory vote on executive compensation.
