**Headline:** Transaction Update: HSR Waiting Period Expired

Hi Vimeans,

As part of the ongoing acquisition process with Bending Spoons, we've reached another procedural milestone. We announced this afternoon that the **Hart-Scott-Rodino (HSR) waiting period** related to the transaction **expired at 11:59 PM ET on November 6, 2025.**

An HSR filing is a standard premerger requirement for many mergers and acquisitions. It provides the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) or the U.S. Department of Justice's Antitrust Division a 30-day period to decide whether to review the proposed transaction for potential antitrust concerns. The expiration of this waiting period is an important milestone and satisfies a closing condition for the transaction.

This is one of several key milestones in the process. The next major step is the **special meeting of stockholders scheduled for 10:00 AM ET on November 19,** where stockholders — including Vimeans who hold Vimeo common stock as of October 21 — will vote on the transaction.

The closing of the merger remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of all closing conditions.

If you have any questions, please continue to submit them via #ask-vimeo — and if we can answer at this time, we'll publish a written response, or for more specific, nuanced questions, we may contact you directly. We did update our <u>Acquisition Resource & FAQ</u> a few weeks ago to include answers to the most common questions we've received and will continue to do so as we're able.

Thank you,

Jess

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This communication contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. These forward-looking statements are based on the Company's current expectations, estimates and projections about the expected date of closing of the proposed transaction and the potential benefits thereof, its business and industry, management's beliefs and certain assumptions made by the Company, Parent, Merger Sub, and Guarantor, all of which are subject to change. In this context, forward-looking statements often address expected future business and financial performance and financial condition, and often contain words such as "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "believe," "could," "seek," "see," "will," "may," "would," "might," "potentially," "estimate," "continue," similar expressions or the negatives of these words or other comparable terminology that convey uncertainty of future events or outcomes. All forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, and are not guarantees of future results, such as statements about the consummation of the proposed transaction and the anticipated benefits thereof. These and other forward-looking statements, including the failure to consummate the proposed transaction or to make or take any filing or other action required to consummate the proposed transaction on a timely matter or at all, are not guarantees of future results and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in such statements and, therefore, you should not place undue reliance on any such statements and caution must be exercised in relying on forward-looking statements. Important risk factors that may cause such a difference include, but are not limited to: (i) the ability of the parties to consummate the proposed transaction in the anticipated time period or at all; (ii) the satisfaction (or waiver) of closing conditions to the consummation of the proposed transaction, including the receipt of required regulatory approval and the requisite approval of the Company's stockholders; (iii) potential delays in consummation of the proposed transaction; (iv) risks associated with the disruption of management's attention from ongoing business operations due to the pendency and announcement of the proposed transaction; (v) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance or condition that could give rise to the termination of the merger agreement; (vi) the Company's ability to implement its business strategy; (vii) significant transaction costs associated with the proposed transaction; (viii) the risk that the Company's stock price may decline significantly if the proposed transaction is not consummated; (ix) the nature, cost and outcome of any potential litigation relating to the proposed transaction; (x) the risk that disruptions from the proposed transaction will harm the Company's business, including current plans and operations; (xi) the effects of the proposed transaction on relationships with employees, other business partners or governmental entities; (xii) potential adverse reactions or changes to business relationships resulting from the announcement or completion of the proposed transaction; (xiii) legislative, regulatory and economic developments affecting the Company's business; (xiv) general economic and market developments and conditions; (xv) the evolving legal, regulatory and tax regimes under which the Company operates; (xvi) potential business uncertainty, including changes to existing business relationships, during the pendency of the merger that could affect the Company's financial performance; (xvii) restrictions during the pendency of the proposed transaction that may impact the Company's ability to pursue certain business opportunities or strategic transactions; and (xviii) unpredictability and severity of catastrophic events, including, but not limited to, acts of terrorism or outbreak of war or hostilities, as well as the Company's response to any of the aforementioned factors. These risks, as well as other risks associated with the proposed transaction, are more fully discussed in the Proxy Statement filed with the SEC in connection with the proposed transaction. Additional risks and uncertainties that could cause actual outcomes and results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements are included under the caption "Risk Factors" in the Company's most recent annual and quarterly reports filed with the SEC and any subsequent reports on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q or Form 8-K filed from time to time and available at www.sec.gov.

Unlisted factors may present significant additional obstacles to the realization of forward-looking statements. Consequences of material differences in results as compared with those anticipated in the forward-looking statements could include, among other things, business disruption, operational problems, financial loss, legal liability, and similar risks, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity. The forward-looking statements included herein are made only as of the date hereof.
