Shares counted toward the ownership requirement include shares beneficially owned directly or indirectly by the individual or immediate family members residing in the same household and shares underlying deferred share units granted under our Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors. Unvested RSUs and PSUs, unexercised stock options, and equity-based awards settled in cash are not counted toward the ownership requirement.

Compliance with the minimum stock ownership requirement is determined annually on December 31. Once an individual meets the ownership requirement, any subsequent decrease in the share price will not impact compliance prior to the next valuation date. If an individual fails to satisfy the ownership requirement, they are required to retain an amount equal to 50% of the net shares of our common stock ( i.e. , shares remaining after the payment of tax withholding obligations and, if applicable, the exercise price with respect to an equity award) resulting from the settlement of RSU awards or the exercise of stock options. Individuals are required to meet these ownership requirements within five years of the later of (i) January 1, 2022 (the date the guidelines became effective) or (ii) becoming an NEO or non-employee member of our Board of Directors, as applicable.

In addition, pursuant to the Match Group, Inc. 2024 Stock and Annual Incentive Plan , upon the exercise of options or SARs granted to our CEO under the 2024 Plan, any net shares received will be subject to a post-exercise holding period until the earlier of twelve (12) months from the date of exercise or the CEO’s termination of employment for any reason (including due to retirement).

#### Change in Control
Match Group believes that providing our NEOs with change in control protection is important in allowing NEOs to fully value the forward-looking elements of their compensation packages and therefore limit retention risk during uncertain times. The terms of equity awards granted to our NEOs generally include a “double-trigger” change in control provision, as provided for under each of the applicable equity plans such awards were granted under, which provides for the acceleration of the vesting of outstanding equity awards in connection with a change in control of Match Group, but only when the NEO experiences an involuntary termination of employment without cause or the NEO resigns for good reason, in each case during the two-year period following such change in control.

In addition, the terms of Mr. Kim's employment agreement in effect
