Credit Facility
Our wholly-owned subsidiary, Match Group Holdings II, LLC (“MG Holdings II”), is the borrower
under a credit agreement (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) that provides for a revolving credit
facility (the “Credit Facility”).
The Credit Facility has a borrowing capacity of $500 million. The maturity date of the Credit Facility
is the earlier of (x) March 20, 2029 and (y) the date that is 91 days prior to the maturity date of the
existing senior notes due 2027, 2028, or 2029, or any new indebtedness used to refinance such senior
notes that matures prior to the date that is 91 days after March 20, 2029, in each case if and only if at
least $250 million in aggregate principal amount of such debt is outstanding on such date. At both
March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there were no outstanding borrowings, $0.6 million in
outstanding letters of credit, and $499.4 million of availability under the Credit Facility. The annual
commitment fee on undrawn funds, which is based on MG Holdings II’s consolidated net leverage ratio,
was 25 basis points as of March 31, 2026. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest, at MG
Holdings II’s option, at a base rate or a term secured overnight financing rate plus an applicable
adjustment (“Adjusted Term SOFR”), plus an applicable margin based on MG Holdings II’s consolidated
net leverage ratio. If MG Holdings II borrows under the Credit Facility, it will be required to maintain a
consolidated net leverage ratio of not more than 5.0 to 1.0.
The Credit Agreement includes covenants that would limit the ability of MG Holdings II to pay
dividends, make distributions, or repurchase MG Holdings II’s stock in the event MG Holdings II’s
consolidated net leverage ratio exceeds 4.25 to 1.0, or if an event of default has occurred. The Credit
Agreement includes additional covenants that limit the ability of MG Holdings II and its subsidiaries to,
among other things, incur indebtedness, pay dividends or make distributions. Obligations under the
Credit Facility are unconditionally guaranteed by certain MG Holdings II wholly-owned domestic
subsidiaries and are also secured by the stock of certain MG Holdings II domestic and foreign
subsidiaries. Outstanding borrowings, if any, have priority over the Senior Notes to the extent of the
value of the assets securing the borrowings under the Credit Agreement.
Senior Notes
The 5.00% Senior Notes were issued on December 4, 2017. These notes may be redeemed at
redemption prices set forth in the indenture governing the notes, together with accrued and unpaid
interest to the applicable redemption date.
The 4.625% Senior Notes were issued on May 19, 2020. These notes may be redeemed at
redemption prices set forth in the indenture governing the notes, together with accrued and unpaid
interest to the applicable redemption date.
The 5.625% Senior Notes were issued on February 15, 2019. These notes may be redeemed at
redemption prices set forth in the indenture governing the notes, together with accrued and unpaid
interest to the applicable redemption date.
The 4.125% Senior Notes were issued on February 11, 2020. These notes may be redeemed at
redemption prices set forth in the indenture governing the notes, together with accrued and unpaid
interest to the applicable redemption date.
The 3.625% Senior Notes were issued on October 4, 2021. At any time prior to October 1, 2026,
these notes may be redeemed at a redemption price equal to the sum of the principal amount, plus
accrued and unpaid interest and a make-whole premium set forth in the indenture governing the notes.
Thereafter, these notes may be redeemed at redemption prices set forth in the indenture governing the
notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest to the applicable redemption date.
The 6.125% Senior Notes were issued on August 20, 2025. At any time prior to September 15,
2028, these notes may be redeemed at a redemption price equal to the sum of the principal amount,
plus accrued and unpaid interest and a make-whole premium set forth in the indenture governing the
notes. Thereafter, these notes may be redeemed at redemption prices set forth in the indenture
governing the notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest to the applicable redemption date.
The indenture governing the 5.00% Senior Notes contains covenants that would limit MG Holdings
II’s ability to pay dividends or to make distributions and repurchase or redeem MG Holdings II’s stock in
the event a default has occurred or MG Holdings II’s consolidated leverage ratio (as defined in the
indenture) exceeds 5.0 to 1.0. No such limitations were in effect at March 31, 2026. There are additional
covenants in the 5.00% Senior Notes indenture that limit the ability of MG Holdings II and its
subsidiaries to, among other things, (i) incur indebtedness, make investments, or sell assets in the
event MG Holdings II is not in compliance with specified financial ratios, and (ii) incur liens, enter into
agreements restricting their ability to pay dividends, enter into transactions with affiliates, or consolidate,
merge or sell substantially all of their assets. The indentures governing the 3.625%, 4.125%, 4.625%,
5.625%, and 6.125% Senior Notes are less restrictive than the indenture governing the 5.00% Senior
Notes and generally only limit MG Holdings II’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things,
create liens on assets, or consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of their
assets.
The Senior Notes all rank equally in right of payment.
Exchangeable Notes

owned subsidiaries of the Company, issued $575.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2026
Exchangeable Notes and $575.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2030 Exchangeable Notes,
respectively.
The 2026 and 2030 Exchangeable Notes (collectively the “Exchangeable Notes”) are guaranteed

(a)Subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of specified events.
As more specifically set forth in the applicable indentures, the Exchangeable Notes are
exchangeable under the following circumstances:
(1) during any calendar quarter (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale
price of the Company's common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during
the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the
immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the exchange price on each
applicable trading day;
(2) during the five-business day period after any five-consecutive trading day period (the
“measurement period”) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of notes for each trading
day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the
Company's common stock and the exchange rate on each such trading day;
(3) if the issuer calls the notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the
scheduled trading day immediately preceding the redemption date; or
(4) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events as further described in the indentures
governing the respective Exchangeable Notes.
On or after the respective exchangeable dates noted in the table above, until the close of business
on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may exchange
all or any portion of their Exchangeable Notes regardless of the foregoing conditions. Upon exchange,
the issuer, in its sole discretion, has the option to settle the Exchangeable Notes with cash, shares of
the Company’s common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of the Company's common stock.
Any shares issued in further settlement of the notes would be offset by shares received upon exercise
of the Exchangeable Note Hedges (described below).
There were not any 2026 or 2030 Exchangeable Notes presented for exchange during the three
months ended March 31, 2026. The 2030 Exchangeable Notes were not exchangeable as of March 31,
2026.
At both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there was no value in excess of the principal of
each of the 2026 and 2030 Exchangeable Notes outstanding on an if-converted basis using the
Company’s stock price on March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Additionally, all or any portion of the 2026 Exchangeable Notes may be redeemed for cash, at the
issuer’s option, at any time, and for the 2030 Exchangeable Notes on or after July 20, 2026, if the last
reported sale price of the Company’s common stock has been at least 130% of the exchange price then
in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive), including at least one of the five
trading days immediately preceding the date on which the notice of redemption is provided, during any
30 consecutive trading day period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the
date on which the applicable issuer provides notice of redemption, at a redemption price equal to 100%
of the principal amount to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the
redemption date.

Exchangeable Notes Hedges and Warrants
In connection with the Exchangeable Notes offerings, the Company purchased call options
allowing the Company to purchase initially (subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of specified
events) the same number of shares that would be issuable upon the exchange of the applicable
Exchangeable Notes at the prices per share set forth below (the “Exchangeable Notes Hedge”), and
sold warrants allowing the counterparty to purchase (subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of
specified events) shares at the per share prices set forth below (the “Exchangeable Notes Warrants”).
The Exchangeable Notes Hedges are expected to reduce the potential dilutive effect on the
Company’s common stock upon any exchange of Exchangeable Notes and/or offset any cash payment
Match Group FinanceCo 2, Inc. or Match Group FinanceCo 3, Inc. is required to make in excess of the
principal amount of the exchanged notes. The Exchangeable Notes Warrants have a dilutive effect on
the Company’s common stock to the extent that the market price per share of the Company common
stock exceeds their respective strike prices.
