PROXY STATEMENT

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING AND VOTING

  1. Why did I receive a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials?
  1. In accordance with rules adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), we have elected to deliver this proxy statement and our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K to the majority of our stockholders online in lieu of mailing printed copies of these materials to each of our stockholders. If you received a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the "Notice") by mail, you will not receive printed copies of our proxy materials unless you request them. Instead, the Notice provides instructions on how to access this proxy statement and our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K online, as well as how to obtain printed copies of these materials by mail. We believe that this process allows us to provide our stockholders with the information they need in a more timely manner than if we had elected to mail printed materials, while reducing the environmental impact of, and lowering the costs associated with, the printing and distribution of our proxy materials.

The Notice, our proxy materials and our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K are being mailed on or about April 29, 2024 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on April 22, 2024. This proxy statement and our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K will also be available at www.proxyvote.com beginning on April 29, 2024. If you received a Notice by mail but would rather receive printed copies of our proxy materials, please follow the instructions included in the Notice. You will not receive a Notice if you have previously elected to receive printed copies of our proxy materials.

  1. Can I vote my shares by filling out and returning the Notice?
  1. No. However, the Notice provides instructions on how to vote your shares by way of completing and submitting your proxy online or by phone, by requesting and returning a written proxy card by mail or by submitting a ballot in person at the Annual Meeting.
  1. Who is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?
  1. Holders of common stock of Match Group, Inc. ("Match Group" or the "Company") as of the close of business on April 22, 2024, the record date for the Annual Meeting established by Match Group's Board of Directors (the "Board"), are entitled to receive notice of the Annual Meeting and to vote their shares at the Annual Meeting and any related adjournments or postponements.

At the close of business on April 22, 2024, there were 265,598,349 shares of Match Group common stock outstanding and entitled to vote. Holders of Match Group common stock are entitled to one vote per share.

  1. What is the difference between a stockholder of record and a stockholder who holds stock in street name?
  1. If your Match Group shares are registered in your name, you are a stockholder of record. If your Match Group shares are held in the name of your broker, bank or other holder of record, your shares are held in street name.

You may examine a list of the stockholders of record at the close of business on April 22, 2024 for any purpose germane to the Annual Meeting during normal business hours during the 10-day period preceding the date of the meeting at our Dallas offices, located at 8750 North Central Expressway, Suite 1400, Dallas, Texas 75231.

  1. What are the quorum requirements for the Annual Meeting?
  1. The presence at the Annual Meeting, in person or by proxy, of holders of shares of Match Group common stock representing a majority of the voting power of Match Group common stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting constitutes a quorum. Shares of Match Group common stock represented by proxy will be treated as present at the Annual Meeting for purposes of determining whether there is a quorum, without regard to whether the proxy is marked as casting a vote or abstaining.
  1. What matters will Match Group stockholders vote on at the Annual Meeting?
  1. Match Group stockholders will vote on the following proposals:
    • Proposal 1-to elect four members of Match Group's Board of Directors, each to hold office for a three-year term ending on the date of the annual meeting of stockholders in 2027 or until such director's successor shall have been duly elected and qualified (or, if earlier, such director's removal or resignation from Match Group's Board of Directors);
    • Proposal 2-to hold an advisory vote on executive compensation (the "say on pay proposal");

1

    • Proposal 3-to approve the Match Group, Inc. 2024 Stock and Annual Incentive Plan (the "2024 Stock Plan Proposal");
    • Proposal 4-to ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as Match Group's independent registered public accounting firm for the 2024 fiscal year; and
    • to transact such other business as may properly come before the Annual Meeting and any related adjournments or postponements.
  1. What are my voting choices when voting for director nominees and what votes are required to elect director nominees to Match Group's Board of Directors?
  1. You may vote in favor of a director nominee, against that director nominee or abstain from voting as to the director nominee.

The election of each of our director nominees requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast with respect to the nominee's election (meaning the number of votes cast "for" each nominee must exceed the number of votes cast "against" such nominee). Our corporate governance guidelines provide that any incumbent nominee who receives a greater number of votes cast against their election than votes cast in favor of their election, shall immediately tender their resignation, and that the Board shall then decide, through a process managed by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board (the "Nominating Committee"), whether to accept the resignation at its next regularly scheduled meeting held not less than 90 days after such election. The Board's explanation of its decision shall be promptly disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K.

The Board recommends that our stockholders vote FOR the election of each of the director nominees.

  1. What are my voting choices when voting on the say on pay proposal and what votes are required to approve this proposal?
  1. You may vote in favor of the say on pay proposal, against the say on pay proposal or abstain from voting on the say on pay proposal.

The approval, on an advisory basis, of the say on pay proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the shares of Match Group common stock present at the Annual Meeting in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the matter.

The Board recommends that our stockholders vote FOR the say on pay proposal.

  1. What are my voting choices when voting on the 2024 Stock Plan Proposal and what votes are required to approve this proposal?
  1. You may vote in favor of the 2024 Stock Plan Proposal, against the 2024 Stock Plan Proposal or abstain from voting on the 2024 Stock Plan Proposal.

The approval of the 2024 Stock Plan Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the shares of Match Group common stock present at the Annual Meeting in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the matter.

The Board recommends that our stockholders vote FOR the 2024 Stock Plan Proposal.

  1. What are my voting choices when voting on the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as Match Group's independent registered public accounting firm for the 2024 fiscal year and what votes are required to ratify this appointment?
  1. You may vote in favor of the ratification, against the ratification or abstain from voting on the ratification.
    The ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as Match Group's independent registered public accounting firm for the 2024 fiscal year requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the shares of Match Group common stock present at the Annual Meeting in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the matter.
    The Board recommends that our stockholders vote FOR the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as Match Group's independent registered public accounting firm for the 2024 fiscal year.

  1. Could other matters be decided at the Annual Meeting?
  1. As of the date of this proxy statement, we did not know of any matters to be raised at the Annual Meeting, other than those referred to in this proxy statement.

If any other matters are properly presented at the Annual Meeting for consideration, the three Match Group officers who have been designated as proxies for the Annual Meeting, Philip D. Eigenmann, Jeanette Teckman and Francisco J. Villamar, will have the discretion to vote on those matters for stockholders who have submitted their executed proxy.

  1. What do I need to do now to vote at the Annual Meeting?
  1. Match Group's Board of Directors is soliciting proxies for use at the Annual Meeting. Stockholders may submit proxies to instruct the designated proxies to vote their shares in any of the following three ways:
    • Submitting a proxy online: Submit your proxy online at www.proxyvote.com. Online proxy voting is available 24 hours a day and will close at 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on Thursday, June 20, 2024;
    • Submitting a proxy by telephone: Submit your proxy by telephone by using the toll-free telephone number provided on your proxy card (1.800.690.6903). Telephone proxy voting is available 24 hours a day and will close at 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on Thursday, June 20, 2024; or
    • Submitting a proxy by mail: If you choose to submit your proxy by mail, simply mark, date and sign your proxy, and return it in the postage-paid envelope provided or to Vote Processing, c/o Broadridge, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, New York 11717.

If you were a stockholder of record on April 22, 2024, or if you have a legal proxy from your broker, bank or other holder of record identifying you as a beneficial owner of Match Group shares as of that date, you may vote in person at the Annual Meeting. All attendees will need to bring an admission ticket and other proof of stock ownership as well as a valid photo ID to gain admission to the Annual Meeting. See page 4 for further details.

For Match Group shares held in street name, holders may submit a proxy online or by telephone if their broker, bank or other holder of record makes these methods available. If you submit a proxy online or by telephone, do not request and return a printed proxy card from Match Group or from your broker, bank or other holder of record. If you hold your shares through a broker, bank or other holder of record, follow the voting instructions you receive from your broker, bank or other holder of record.

  1. If I hold my Match Group shares in street name, will my broker, bank or other holder of record vote these shares for me?
  1. If you hold your Match Group shares in street name, you must provide your broker, bank or other holder of record with instructions in order to vote these shares. If you do not provide voting instructions, whether your shares can be voted by your broker, bank or other holder of record in their discretion depends on the type of item being considered for a vote.
    Non-DiscretionaryItems. The election of directors, the say on pay proposal and the 2024 Stock Plan Proposal are non- discretionary items and may not be voted on by your broker, bank or other holder of record absent specific voting instructions from you. If your bank, broker or other holder of record does not receive specific voting instructions from you, a "broker non-vote" will occur in the case of your shares of Match Group common stock for these proposals.

Discretionary Items. The ratification of Ernst & Young LLP as Match Group's independent registered public accounting firm for the 2024 fiscal year is a discretionary item. Generally, brokers, banks and other holders of record that do not receive voting instructions may vote on this proposal in their discretion.

  1. What effect do abstentions and broker non-votes have on quorum requirements and the voting results for each proposal to be voted on at the Annual Meeting?
  1. Abstentions and shares represented by broker non-votes are counted as present for purposes of determining a quorum. Abstentions and shares represented by broker non-votes do not count as votes cast and, as a result, have no effect on the outcome of the election of directors, for which the voting standard is a majority of the votes cast. Abstentions are treated as shares present and entitled to vote and, as a result, have the same effect as a vote against any proposal for which the voting standard is based on the voting power present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the matter, including the say on pay proposal, the 2024 Stock Plan Proposal and the auditor ratification proposal. Shares represented by broker non-votes are not treated as shares

3

entitled to vote and, as a result, have no effect on the say on pay proposal or the 2024 Stock Plan Proposal. No broker non-votes are expected for the auditor ratification proposal given that it is considered a discretionary item.

  1. Can I change my vote or revoke my proxy?
  1. Yes. If you are a stockholder of record, you may change your vote or revoke your proxy at any time before the vote at the Annual Meeting by:
    • submitting a later-dated proxy relating to the same shares online, by telephone or by mail prior to the vote at the Annual Meeting. Online and telephone proxy voting are available 24 hours a day and will close at 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on Thursday, June 20, 2024;
    • delivering a written notice, bearing a date later than your proxy, stating that you revoke the proxy; or
    • attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person (although attendance at the Annual Meeting will not, by itself, revoke a proxy). All attendees will need to bring an admission ticket or other proof of stock ownership as well as a valid photo ID to gain admission to the Annual Meeting. See the question below for further details.

To change your vote or revoke your proxy, follow the instructions provided on the Notice or the proxy card to do so online or by telephone, or send a written notice or a new proxy card to Vote Processing, c/o Broadridge, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, New York 11717.

If you hold your shares through a broker, bank or other holder of record, follow the instructions that you receive from your broker, bank or other holder of record if you wish to change your vote or revoke your proxy.

  1. Who can attend the Annual Meeting, and what are the rules for admission at the meeting?
  1. Only stockholders and persons holding proxies from stockholders may attend the Annual Meeting. Seating is limited, however, and admission to the Annual Meeting will be on a first-come,first-served basis. All attendees will need to bring an admission ticket and other proof of stock ownership as well as a valid photo ID to gain admission to the Annual Meeting. If you are a stockholder of record, you may bring the top half of your proxy card or your Notice to serve as your admission ticket and proof of stock ownership. If you hold your shares in street name, you may bring your Notice or voting instruction form (or a copy thereof) to serve as your admission ticket and you will be required to present proof of ownership to be admitted into the meeting. Acceptable proof of ownership includes a recent brokerage statement or a legal proxy or letter from your broker, bank or other holder of record evidencing your beneficial ownership of Match Group shares as of April 22, 2024.

No cameras, recording equipment, large bags or packages will be permitted at the Annual Meeting. The use of cell phones, smart phones, tablets and other personal communication devices for any reason during the Annual Meeting is strictly prohibited.

  1. What if I do not specify a choice for a matter when returning a proxy?
  1. If you do not give specific instructions, proxies that are signed and returned will be voted in accordance with the Board's recommendations, meaning they will be voted FOR the election of all director nominees, FOR the say on pay proposal, FOR the 2024 Stock Plan Proposal and FOR the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as Match Group's independent registered public accounting firm for the 2024 fiscal year.
  1. How are proxies solicited and who bears the related costs?
  1. Match Group bears all expenses incurred in connection with the solicitation of proxies. In addition to solicitations by mail, directors, officers and employees of Match Group may solicit proxies from stockholders by telephone, e-mail, letter, facsimile or in person. Following the initial mailing of the Notice and proxy materials, Match Group will request brokers, banks and other holders of record to forward copies of these materials to persons for whom they hold shares of Match Group common stock and to request authority for the exercise of proxies. In such cases, Match Group, upon the request of these holders, will reimburse these parties for their reasonable expenses.
  1. What should I do if I have questions regarding the Annual Meeting?
  1. If you have any questions about the Annual Meeting, the various proposals to be voted at the Annual Meeting, would like to obtain directions to attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person, or would like copies of any of the documents referred to in this proxy statement, contact Match Group Investor Relations at IR@match.com.
