Item 3.02   Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

The Employee Matters Agreement dated as of November 24, 2015, by and between IAC/InterActiveCorp (“IAC”) and Match Group, Inc. (the “Company”), as amended effective as of April 13, 2016 (the “Employee Matters Agreement”), provides, among other things, that with respect to equity awards denominated in shares of certain of the Company’s subsidiaries, IAC may elect to cause such equity awards to be settled in either shares of IAC common stock, par value $0.001 (“IAC Common Stock”) or Company common stock, par value $0.001 (“Company Common Stock”) and, to the extent that shares of IAC Common Stock are issued in settlement of such equity awards, the Company will reimburse IAC for the cost of such shares of IAC Common Stock by issuing additional shares of Company Common Stock to IAC.

 

On April 13, 2016, 541,422 shares of Company Common Stock were issued to IAC as reimbursement for shares of IAC Common Stock issued in connection with the exercise and settlement of equity awards denominated in shares of a subsidiary of the Company pursuant to the Employee Matter Agreement.

 

The issuance of Company Common Stock described above did not involve any underwriters or public offerings and the Company believes that such issuance was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of such act.
