INTRODUCTORY NOTE
The Report on Schedule 13D relating to the common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Company Common Stock”), of Match Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “Match Group”), initially filed by IAC/InterActiveCorp (“IAC”) and now known as Match Group, Inc. (“New Match”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 14, 2016 (the “Initial Schedule 13D”), as amended by Amendment Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17 thereto dated June 30, 2016, April 4, 2017, July 24, 2017, August 7, 2017, August 9, 2017, September 30, 2017, December 31, 2017, February 22, 2018, April 23, 2018, June 30, 2018, March 31, 2019, August 9, 2019, October 11, 2019, November 7, 2019, December 20, 2019, February 4, 2020 and April 28, 2020, respectively, is hereby further amended and supplemented to include the information set forth in this Report on Schedule 13D/A (this “Amendment”), which constitutes Amendment No. 18 to the Initial Schedule 13D. Capitalized terms not defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Initial Schedule 13D, as previously amended.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
Item 4 is hereby amended by adding the following at the end thereof:
On June 22, 2020, IAC, Match Group, New IAC, and New Match Merger Sub (collectively, the “Parties”) entered into a letter agreement (the “Second Amendment”) amending the Transaction Agreement, dated as of December 19, 2019 and as amended on April 28, 2020, by and among IAC, Match Group, New IAC and New Match Merger Sub. The terms of the Second Amendment are summarized in Item 1.01 of the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by IAC with the SEC on June 22, 2020 (the “June 2020 Form 8-K”) and the Second Amendment is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to the June 2020 Form 8-K. Both the disclosure set forth under Item 1.01 of the June 2020 Form 8-K and the Second Amendment attached as Exhibit 2.1 to the June 2020 Form 8-K are incorporated by reference herein. For additional information please refer to the June 2020 Form 8-K.
On June 30, 2020, pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, the Parties completed the separation of the businesses of Match Group from the remaining businesses of IAC through a series of transactions that resulted in the pre-transaction stockholders of IAC owning shares in two, separate public companies—(1) New Match, which retained the businesses of Match Group and certain IAC financing subsidiaries (the “Match Businesses”), and (2) New IAC, which was renamed “IAC/InterActiveCorp” and which owns IAC’s other businesses (the “IAC Businesses”)—and the pre-transaction stockholders of Match Group (other than IAC) owning shares in New Match (the “Separation”). On June 30, 2020, prior to the completion of the Separation, Match Group merged with and into New Match Merger Sub, with New Match Merger Sub, now known as Match Group Holdings II, LLC, surviving the merger as an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of New Match, with (i) each share of Company Common Stock that was outstanding (excluding shares owned by IAC, Match Group, or any wholly owned subsidiary of IAC or Match Group) converting into the right to receive one share of New Match common stock and at the holder's election, either (a) $3.00 in cash or (b) a fraction of a share of New Match common stock with a value of $3.00, calculated based on the Match VWAP (as defined in the Transaction Agreement), (ii) each share of Company Common Stock owned by the Reporting Person, Match Group or any wholly owned subsidiary of either being cancelled, and (iii) each share of Class B Common Stock being cancelled. The consummation of the Separation and the related transactions are summarized in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by IAC with the SEC on July 2, 2020 (the “Closing Form 8-K”). The disclosure set forth in the Closing Form 8-K is incorporated by reference herein. For additional information please refer to the Closing Form 8-K.
