In general, the holders of shares of Vimeo common stock vote together as a single class with the holders of shares of Vimeo Class B common stock on all matters, including the election of directors; provided, however, that the holders of shares of Vimeo common stock, acting as a single class, are entitled to elect twenty-five percent (25%) of the total number of Vimeo directors, rounded up to the next whole number in the event of a fraction. Each outstanding share of Vimeo common stock and Vimeo Class B common stock entitles the holder to one vote per share and ten votes per share, respectively.
