 overseen by its Board of Directors, which currently has ten members. The Nominating Committee periodically reviews the size of the Board and may recommend changes to the Board. There is one management representative on the Board and, of the other nine current directors, eight are independent. The Board has standing Audit, Compensation and Human Resources, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees, each comprised solely of independent directors. For more information regarding director independence and our Board Committees, see the discussion below under the headings Director Independence and The Board and Board Committees. All of our directors play an active role in Board matters, are encouraged to communicate among themselves and directly with the Chief Executive Officer and have full access to Match Group management at all times. The Board and each Board Committee conducts an annual evaluation of its performance.

Match Group’s independent directors meet in scheduled executive sessions without management present at least twice a year and may schedule additional meetings as they deem appropriate. These sessions are led by Match Group’s independent Chairman of the Board. The independent membership of the Audit, Compensation and Human Resources, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees ensures that directors with no ties to management are charged with oversight for all financial reporting and executive compensation related decisions, as well as for recommending candidates for Board membership and oversight of governance practices and policies. At each regularly scheduled Board meeting, the Chairperson of each of these committees provides the full Board with an update of all significant matters discussed, reviewed, considered and/or approved by the relevant committee since the last regularly scheduled Board meeting.

Mr. McInerney has served as independent Chairman of the Board since May 2021. Our Board currently believes that the roles of Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer should be separated in recognition of the different responsibilities between the two roles. Mr. McInerney, as independent Chairman, leads the Board in its oversight and management role, including with respect to risk oversight, while Mr. Rascoff, our Chief Executive Officer, focuses on managing the Company’s operations and strategic planning on a day-to-day basis. Mr. McInerney’s other responsibilities include, among others, setting Board meeting agendas, leading Board meetings and executive sessions, and communicating feedback to and advising Mr. Rascoff.

We believe that it is in the best interests of our stockholders for the Board to review and make a determination regarding the separation or combination of these roles each time it elects a new Chairperson or appoints a Chief Executive Officer.
