v-11007 (Central District of California). In August 2025, a third derivative complaint was filed in the Central District of California alleging similar causes of action. See Habedus v. Kim, et al., No. 2:25-cv-07171 (Central District of California). We believe that we have strong defenses to the allegations in these lawsuits and will defend vigorously against them.

 Netherlands Privacy Class Action

On December 17, 2024, a writ of summons was filed against MTCH Technologies Services Limited, an indirect subsidiary of the Company, and Match Group, Inc. in the District Court of Amsterdam. Among other things, the lawsuit alleges that defendants unlawfully collected, processed, and shared Dutch Tinder users’ personal data without proper consent in violation of GDPR and Dutch consumer protection laws. See Stichting Take Back Your Privacy v. MTCH Technologies Services Limited et al. (Amsterdam). The lawsuit purports to represent a class of Dutch Tinder users from May 25, 2018 until the court’s final judgment and seeks monetary damages and injunctive relief. On May 7, 2025, we filed a motion contesting jurisdiction, and the plaintiff filed an opposition on June 18, 2025. We believe that we have strong defenses to the allegations and will defend vigorously against them.
