(THE "2024 PLAN" OR THE "AMENDED AND RESTATED 2024 PLAN")</div>

### Overview
The Board requests that stockholders approve the proposed Match Group, Inc. Amended and Restated 2024 Stock and Annual Incentive Plan to (i) increase the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2024 Plan by 4,200,000 shares and (ii) to extend the term of the 2024 Plan to the tenth anniversary of our 2025 Annual Meeting. There are no other changes proposed to the 2024 Plan.

### Background
The Board originally adopted the 2024 Plan in April 2024, which became effective upon approval by our stockholders on the date of our 2024 Annual Meeting, which was June 21, 2024. The Board approved the Amended and Restated 2024 Plan on April 28, 2025, subject to approval by our stockholders at the 2025 Annual Meeting.

As of April 2, 202 5, the re were 9,032,745 shares r emaining available for issuance under the 2024 Plan, representing 3.64% of our outstanding common stock as of that date . The ad ditional 4,200,000 s hares requested for issuance under the Amended and Restated 2024 Plan is intended to provide us with sufficient shares for grants to be made ove r at least the next 12 months, with a reasonable buffer to support potential unplanned events such as unanticipated changes to our leadership team or headcount, or significant changes in our stock price . In addition, if approved by stockholders, the term of the 2024 Plan will be extended to the tenth anniversary of the date of the stockholders’ approval at the 2025 Annual Meeting. If the Amended and Restated 2024 Plan is not approved by our stockholders, while the original 2024 Plan will remain in effect in its current form, and we will continue to be able to grant equity incentive awards under the 2024 Plan until the earlier of its expiration or the date on which the maximum number of shares authorized under the 2024 Plan has been issued, the current share reserve may not be sufficient to support our equity compensation plans through the next
