All other directors may be removed only for cause.

With respect to Proposal 5, the proposed amendments to our Certificate of Incorporation are included with this proxy statement as Appendix C-1. This description of the proposed amendments to our Certificate of Incorporation is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the amendments as set forth in Appendix C-1.

The proposed amendments to our Certificate of Incorporation associated with the foregoing are included with this proxy statement as Appendix C-2.

In proposing these amendments to our Certificate of Incorporation and seeking to evolve our governance structure, our Board has considered feedback from our stockholders and evolving governance practices. Our Board unanimously concluded, on the recommendation of the Nominating Committee, that the proposed changes contemplated by this Proposal 5 are advisable and in the best interest of Match Group and our stockholders.

If this Proposal 5 is approved by the requisite vote of our stockholders at the Annual Meeting, all of the proposed amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation set forth on Appendix C-1 and C-2 would become effective upon the filing of an amended and restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, which we would file promptly following the Annual Meeting if our stockholders approve the amendments. The full text of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation that would be filed in such case is included with this proxy statement as Appendix C-3.

If this Proposal 5 is not approved by the requisite votes of our stockholders at the Annual Meeting, the amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation described in this Proposal 5 would not become effective and the provisions that require a classified Board would continue to apply.

The amendments to our Certificate of Incorporation to declassify our Board require the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of Match Group common
