 has no other business relationship with Match Group and receives no payments from Match Group other than fees for services to the Committee. The Committee has assessed the independence of Compensia considering, among other things, the factors set forth under Rule 10C-1 of the Exchange Act and the Marketplace Rules, and has concluded that no conflict of interest has arisen with respect to the work that Compensia performs for the Committee.

#### Use of Comparative Market

#### Data
For purposes of comparing our executive compensation program against the competitive market, the Committee evaluates the compensation of our NEOs against those in similar positions at comparable companies at least annually, with input from its compensation consultant. The Committee does not use a single method or measure in making its compensation decisions, nor does it position compensation levels based upon a specific level relative to a peer group or other companies. Nonetheless, the pay practices at comparable companies are an important factor that the Committee considers in assessing the reasonableness of compensation and ensuring that our compensation practices are competitive in the marketplace.

The Committee applied the following criteria when selecting the peer group companies used for assessing our executive compensation program for 2024, in collaboration with Compensia:

| Criteria for Peer Group |     | General Characteristics                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                |
| Revenue                 |     | •Approximately 0.5x to 2.0x Match Group’s last 12-month revenue of $3.2B (~$1.6B to ~$6.4B as of August 25, 2023).                                                                                                                                                                                     
 •Select companies outside this guideline may be retained if they are particularly relevant.                                                                                                                                                                                                            |
| Market Capitalization   |     | •Approximately 0.33x to 3.0x Match Group’s then current 30-day average market capitalization of ~$12.6B (~$4.2B to ~$37.8B as of August 25, 2023).                                                                                                                                                     
 •Given market volatility, some peers may be slightly outside this range.                                                                                                                                                                                                                               |
| Qualitative Factors     |     | •In addition, the Committee considers other characteristics such as growth rate, profitability, a company’s proximity to its IPO, whether a company has a relevant business model or is a competitor, peers identified by proxy advisory firms, and whether a company has named Match Group as a peer. |

Applying these criteria, the Committee determined no changes were needed and approved the following 19 companies as our compensation peer group as of September 2023 (ticker symbols shown
