#### PROPOSAL 1—ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

#### Proposal and Required Vote
The following nominees have been selected by the Nominating Committee and approved by the Board for submission to our stockholders, each to serve a three-year term expiring at the annual meeting of Match Group’s stockholders in 2028 or until such director’s successor shall have been duly elected and qualified (or, if earlier, such director’s removal or resignation from the Board):

• Stephen Bailey;

• Melissa Brenner; and

• Kelly Campbell.

Information concerning the director nominees appears below. Mr. Bailey and Ms. Brenner are incumbent directors of Match Group. Each of the Board’s nominees has agreed to serve if elected. If any nominee becomes unavailable to serve before the Annual Meeting, the Board may designate a substitute nominee and the persons named as proxies may, in their discretion, vote your shares for the substitute nominee. Alternatively, the Board may reduce the number of directors to be elected at the Annual Meeting. At this time, the Board knows of no reason why any of the Board’s nominees would not be able to serve as a director if elected.

The election of directors will be considered a contested election under Article II Section 9 of Match Group's Bylaws because the number of nominees exceeded the number of directors to be elected as of the 10th day preceding the date Match Group first mailed the Notice. As a result, all director nominees will be elected by a plurality of votes cast at the election of directors, assuming a quorum is present. "Withhold" votes, failure to vote and any broker non-votes will not be counted as votes cast and will result in the applicable nominee(s) receiving fewer votes cast "FOR" such nominee(s).

The Board unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” all three nominees listed on the Notice or the enclosed proxy card or voting instruction form and as the Board recommends on all other proposals recommended by the Board.

If you are a registered holder and submit a validly executed proxy card but do not specify how you want to vote your shares with respect to the election of directors, then your shares will be voted in line with the Board’s recommendation with respect to the proposal, i.e., “FOR” the nominees proposed by your Board and named in this proxy statement.

If you are a beneficial holder and properly mark, sign and return your voting instruction form by mail or complete your proxy via Internet or by telephone, your
