3.             Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation Proposal (comprising proposals 3A and 3B) each of the proposals comprising Proposal 3 was cross-conditioned upon the approval by our stockholders of both Proposals 3A and 3B, which occurred as follows:

 

Proposal 3A — stockholders adopted amendments to the Company’s existing Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Current Certificate”), to authorize 600,000,000 shares of Class C common stock and to establish the powers, preferences, rights and qualifications, limitations, and restrictions of the Class C common stock.  Stockholders eligible to vote voted as follows:

 

Number of Votes Cast in Favor

 

Number of Votes Cast Against

 

Number of Votes Abstaining

 

83,796,842

 

32,895,525

 

28,483

 

 

In addition to the votes cast and withheld for Proposal 3A described above, there were 3,540,059 broker non-votes with respect to such proposal.

 

Proposal 3B — stockholders adopted amendments to the Current Certificate to provide for the equal treatment of shares of IAC common stock, Class B common stock and Class C common stock in connection with dividends.  Stockholders eligible to vote voted as follows:

 

Number of Votes Cast in Favor

 

Number of Votes Cast Against

 

Number of Votes Abstaining

 

88,145,983

 

28,549,757

 

25,110

 

 

In addition to the votes cast and withheld for Proposal 3B described above, there were 3,540,059 broker non-votes with respect to such proposal.

 

Although stockholders eligible to vote approved both of the proposed amendments to the Current Certificate described above, such amendments will not be effective unless and until the Company files an Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation amending the Current Certificate to reflect such amendments (the “New Certificate”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. As disclosed in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 7, 2016, as amended (the “Definitive Proxy Statement”), the Company’s board of directors has reserved the right to abandon or delay the filing of the New Certificate notwithstanding stockholder approval of the proposed amendments.

 

Following the announcement of the proposals related to the New Certificate and the potential declaration and payment of a related dividend of one share of Class C common stock for each outstanding share of IAC common stock and Class B common stock (the “Dividend” and, together with the adoption of the New Certificate, the “Class C Issuance”), a purported class action lawsuit was brought in the Delaware Court of Chancery against the Company and its board of directors on behalf of the Company’s stockholders on November 21, 2016 (the “Delaware Lawsuit”). Two similar lawsuits were subsequently filed.

 

The Company has agreed not to effect the Class C Issuance during the pendency of the Delaware Lawsuit, and has so informed the Delaware Court of Chancery.  Accordingly, the Current Certificate, as previously approved by the Company’s stockholders, is currently in full force and effect and will remain so until the Company files the New Certificate and effects the Class C Issuance, which may or may not occur.

 

4.     The 2013 Stock Plan Proposal — stockholders adopted the IAC/InterActiveCorp Amended and Restated 2013 Stock and Annual Incentive Plan (the “Amended and Restated 2013 Plan”).  Stockholders eligible to vote voted as follows:

 

Number of Votes Cast in Favor

 

Number of Votes Cast Against

 

Number of Votes Abstaining

 

93,122,273

 

23,572,760

 

25,817

 

 

In addition to the votes cast and withheld for the 2013 Stock Plan Proposal described above, there were 3,540,059 broker non-votes with respect to such proposal.

 

Although stockholders eligible to vote approved the Amended and Restated 2013 Plan, as disclosed in the Definitive Proxy Statement, if the Company does not effect the Class C Issuance, the current IAC/InterActiveCorp 2013 Stock and Incentive Plan, as previously approved by the Company’s stockholders (the “2013 Plan”), will remain in effect.  Accordingly, the 2013 Plan is currently in full force and effect and will remain so until the Company effects the Class C Issuance, which may or may not occur.
