CompensatoryArrangements of Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer





Effective as of June 9, 2022, the Compensation and Human Resources Committee
(the "Committee") of the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Match Group, Inc.
("Match Group" or the "Company") approved, and the Company entered into, an
amended and restated employment agreement (the "Employment Agreement") with Gary
Swidler, the Company's Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer. The
Employment Agreement amends and restates the prior employment agreement between
the Company and Mr. Swidler, dated as of August 8, 2018 (and amended on March 1,
2020) in its entirety, the material revisions of which are described below.
Unless otherwise specified, capitalized terms used but not defined below shall
have the meanings set forth in the Employment Agreement.



The Employment Agreement, as amended and restated, memorializes Mr. Swidler's
current annual base salary of $675,000 and provides that, following the
effective date, Mr. Swidler will receive (i) Company restricted stock units with
a value at grant of approximately $3,000,000, vesting in full on the third
anniversary of the grant date, subject to Mr. Swidler's continued employment;
and (ii) Company performance stock units with a target value at grant of
approximately $4,000,000, vesting in full after three years based on Mr.
Swidler's continued employment and the attainment of performance goals set forth
in the applicable award agreement (such awards, together, the "Special Awards").



Under the Employment Agreement, as amended and restated, all outstanding Company
equity or equity-based awards held by Mr. Swidler that vest solely based on the
passage of time, excluding the restricted stock units portion of the Special
Awards (the "Time Vesting Awards"), as well as Mr. Swidler's 2022 annual bonus
opportunity, are eligible to vest as follows:



(a) Subject to Mr. Swidler's Continued Employment through August 31, 2022:

(x) all Time Vesting Awards that are eligible to vest during 2023 will fully

vest on an accelerated basis on August 31, 2022; and (y) the Company will pay

Mr. Swidler a 2022 annual bonus (the "2022 Bonus") in the amount of
     $1,000,000 in a lump-sum payment on or prior to January 31, 2023; and



(b) Subject to Mr. Swidler's Continued Employment through December 31, 2022:

(x) all then-unvested Time Vesting Awards will fully vest on an accelerated

basis on December 31, 2022; and (y) the Company will pay Mr. Swidler the 2022


     Bonus as provided above in an amount equal to $2,000,000 (rather than
     $1,000,000).



This description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Employment Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
