current direct wholly owned subsidiary of IAC, which will own the Vimeo
business, by:

stock, par value $0.0001 per share and 1/100th of a share of IAC Series 1

shares); and

Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 and 1/100th of a share of IAC Series 2

Spin-off is not completed, some or all of the expected benefits from the
Spin-off may not be achieved, increased vulnerability to changing market
conditions as a smaller, less diversified company following the completion of
the Spin-off, the failure of the Spin-off to qualify as a transaction generally
tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes, certain conflicts of interest,
the value of IAC and Vimeo securities following the Spin-off might be less than
the value of IAC securities before the completion of the Spin-off and decreases
in the market price of IAC securities following the completion of the Spin-off
for a variety of reasons, among other risks). Certain of these and other risks
