 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 on December 31, 2024, provided for certain enhanced payments and benefits in connection with a change in control of Match Group upon the occurrence of certain events as further described below under “Executive Compensation—Estimated Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control—Amounts and Benefits Payable in Connection With a Change in Control—Mr. Kim.”

The Committee believes that providing benefits in these circumstances will assist in the retention of our NEOs through a change in control transaction. We do not provide any tax reimbursement or gross-up if a change in control triggers excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code of the Internal Revenue Code. Estimated payments to our NEOs in the event of a change in control are described below under “Executive Compensation—Estimated Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control.”

#### Severance
We generally provide our NEOs with some amount of salary and health benefits continuation and the acceleration of the vesting of some equity awards in the event of an involuntary termination of employment. The Company generally does not provide for the acceleration of the vesting of equity awards in the event an NEO voluntarily resigns from the Company.

#### Other Compensation
Under limited circumstances, certain Match Group executive officers have received non-cash and non-equity compensatory benefits. The value of these benefits, if applicable, is reported under the All Other Compensation column of

the 2024 Summary Compensation Table included in the Executive Compensation section of this proxy statement pursuant to applicable rules. Match Group NEOs do not participate in any deferred compensation or retirement program other than the Company’s Section 401(k) retirement savings plan, which includes matching contributions from the Company on a dollar-for-dollar basis up to $10,000 per year.

#### Tax Deductibility
Effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017, compensation in excess of $1 million paid to our current NEOs and certain former named executive officers is generally not tax deductible. The Committee reserves the right to pay compensation that is not fully tax deductible if it determines that such compensation is consistent with the Company’s best interests.
