 described previously, Anson has notified Match Group of its intention to nominate the Anson Nominees to stand for election as directors at the Annual Meeting in opposition to the nominees recommended by the Board. As a result, assuming the Anson Nominees are in fact nominated for election at the Annual Meeting and such nomination has not been withdrawn by Anson, the election of directors will be considered a contested election under Article II Section 9 of Match Group’s Bylaws. Due to such contested election, all director nominees will be elected by a plurality of votes cast. “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).

Only your latest validly executed proxy will count, and any proxy may be revoked at any time prior to its exercise at the Annual Meeting as described in this proxy statement.

In the event that Anson withdraws its nominees, abandons its solicitation, or fails to comply with the universal proxy rules after a stockholder has already granted proxy authority, stockholders can still use a WHITE proxy card to submit a later-dated vote by the Internet, telephone, or mail. In the event that Anson withdraws its nominees, abandons its solicitation, or fails to comply with the universal proxy rules, any votes cast in favor of the Anson Nominees will be disregarded and not be counted, whether such vote is provided on Match Group’s WHITE proxy card or Anson’s Blue proxy card.

Although Match Group is required to include all nominees for election on its universal proxy card, for additional information regarding the An
