 Cavens. “I look forward to working with the rest of the Board
and leadership team to drive results and returns for the company going forward.”

Darrell Cavens brings nearly 20 years of leadership experience in e-commerce
and technology-driven businesses. As co-founder and CEO of Zulily, he successfully led the company from inception to its public offering,
as well as completing M&A transactions and liquidity events. His strategic insights into online retail, innovation, and technology
infrastructure will be a valuable asset to Match Group as the company advances its strategy.

Previously, Cavens also held leadership positions at Qurate Retail
and Microsoft, as well as serving as Chief Technology Officer and Senior Vice President, Marketing at Blue Nile, where he played a key
role in scaling the company into the largest online diamond retailer. He brings to Match Group a strong background in online retailing,
technology and data analytics. In addition to his executive leadership roles, he serves on the Board of Tapestry (parent company of Coach,
Kate Spade New York, and Stuart Weitzman) and Brooks Running, a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway, bringing extensive governance experience
across consumer retail, technology, and e-commerce sectors.

Board to Seek Stockholder Approval for Declassification

Match Group also announced that it will seek stockholder approval at
its upcoming Annual Meeting to declassify the Board. The Company’s directors are currently divided into three classes, with the
members serving staggered three-year terms.

The declassification proposal will be detailed in the Company’s
2025 proxy statement, which will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in advance of the Company’s
upcoming Annual Meeting. If stockholders approve the proposal, directors elected at the 2026 Annual Meeting and thereafter will be elected
to one-year terms. The Board is committed to strong corporate governance practices and this proposal supports efforts to align those practices
to the best interests of stockholders.

The Board has been, and will remain, open to productive stockholder
input as evidenced by the appointment of Laura Jones and Spencer
