PROXY STATEMENT

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING AND VOTING

Q:
Who is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?

A:

The Notice of 2016 Annual Meeting, this proxy statement and the related form of proxy and IAC's 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K are first expected to be mailed to these stockholders on or about November         , 2016.
Q:
What is the difference between a stockholder of record and a stockholder who holds stock in street name?

A:
If your IAC shares are registered in your name, you are a stockholder of record. If your IAC shares are held in the name of your broker, bank or other holder of record, your shares are held in street name.
Q:
What shares are included on the enclosed proxy card?

A:
If you are a stockholder of record only, you will receive one proxy card from Broadridge for all IAC shares that you hold directly. If you hold IAC shares in street name through one or more banks, brokers and/or other holders of record, you will receive proxy materials, together with voting instructions and information regarding the consolidation of your votes, from the third party or parties through which you hold your IAC shares. If you are a stockholder of record and hold additional IAC shares in street name, you will receive proxy materials from Broadridge and the third party or parties through which your IAC shares are held.

Q:
What are the quorum requirements for the Annual Meeting?

A:
The presence at the Annual Meeting, in person or by proxy, of holders having a majority of the total votes entitled to be cast by holders of IAC common stock and Class B common stock at the Annual Meeting constitutes a quorum. When the holders of IAC common stock vote as a separate class, the presence at the Annual Meeting of holders of a majority of the total votes entitled to be cast by holders of IAC common stock is required for a quorum to be met. Shares of IAC common stock and Class B 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.

Q:
What matters will IAC stockholders vote on at the Annual Meeting?

A:
IAC stockholders will vote on the following proposals:

Proposal 1—to elect 12 members of IAC's Board of Directors, each to hold office for a one-year term ending on the date of the next succeeding annual meeting of stockholders or until such

Table of Contents

Q:
What do I need to do now to vote at the Annual Meeting?

A:
IAC'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 three ways:

Submitting a Proxy Online:  Submit your proxy via the Internet. The website for Internet proxy voting is www.proxyvote.com. Internet proxy voting is available 24 hours a day and will close at 11:59 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, on Wednesday, December 14, 2016;

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 voting is available 24 hours a day and will close at 11:59 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, on Wednesday, December 14, 2016; or

Submitting a Proxy by Mail:  If you choose to submit your proxy by mail, simply mark your proxy, date and sign it, and return it in the postage-paid envelope provided or to Vote Processing, c/o Broadridge, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, New York 11717.
Q:
If I hold my IAC shares in street name, will my broker, bank or other holder of record vote these shares for me?

A:
If you hold shares of IAC common stock in street name, you must provide your broker, bank or other nominee with instructions in order to vote these shares. If you do not provide voting instructions, whether your shares can be voted depends on the type of item being considered for a vote.
Q:
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?

A:
Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted as present for purposes of determining a quorum. 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 number of shares present at the Annual Meeting (the auditor ratification proposal and the 2013 plan amendment and restatement) and have no impact on the vote on any proposal for which the vote standard is based on the actual number of votes cast at the meeting (the election of directors).

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).
Q:
What if I do not specify a choice for a matter when returning a proxy?

A:
If you do not give specific instructions, proxies that are signed and returned will be voted FOR the election of all director nominees, the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as IAC's independent registered public accounting firm for 2016, the adoption of IAC's amended and restated certificate of incorporation (comprising two proposals) and the adoption of the amended and restated 2013 stock and annual incentive plan.

IAC bears all expenses incurred in connection with the solicitation of proxies. In addition to solicitations by mail, directors, officers and employees of IAC may solicit proxies from stockholders by telephone, letter, facsimile, e-mail or in person.

PROPOSAL 1—ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Proposal and Required Vote

        At the upcoming Annual Meeting, a board of 12 directors will be elected, each to hold office until the next succeeding annual meeting of stockholders or until such director's successor shall have been duly elected and qualified (or, if earlier, such director's removal or resignation from IAC's Board of Directors). Information concerning director nominees, all of whom are incumbent directors of IAC and have been recommended by the Nominating Committee for re-election, appears below. Although management does not anticipate that any of the persons named below will be unable or unwilling to stand for election, in the event of such an occurrence, proxies may be voted for a substitute designated by the Board.

        The election of each of Edgar Bronfman, Jr., Chelsea Clinton, Barry Diller, Michael D. Eisner, Bonnie S. Hammer, Victor A. Kaufman, Joseph Levin, David Rosenblatt and Alexander von Furstenberg as directors requires the affirmative vote of a plurality of the total number of votes cast by the holders of shares of IAC capital stock voting together as a single class.

        The Board has designated Bryan Lourd, Alan G. Spoon and Richard F. Zannino as nominees for those positions on the Board to be elected by the holders of IAC common stock voting as a separate class. The election of each of them as directors requires the affirmative vote of a plurality of the total number of votes cast by the holders of the shares of IAC common stock voting as a separate class.

        Both the Nominating Committee and the full Board recommend that our stockholders vote FOR the election of all director nominees.

Information Concerning Director Nominees

        Background information about each director nominee is set forth below, including information regarding the specific experiences, characteristics, attributes and skills considered in connection with the nomination of each director nominee, all of which the Nominating Committee and the Board believe provide the Company with the perspective and judgment needed to guide, monitor and execute its strategies.

        Barry Diller, age 74, has been a director and Chairman and Senior Executive of IAC since December 2010. Mr. Diller previously served as a director and Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of IAC (and its predecessors) from August 1995 to November 2010.

In addition to his for-profit affiliations, Mr. Diller is a member of the Board of Councilors for the University of Southern California's School of Cinematic Arts and the Executive Board for the Medical Sciences of University of California, Los Angeles. The Board nominated Mr. Diller because he has been Chairman and Senior Executive since 2010 and prior to that time, served as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company since 1995, and as a result, possesses a great depth of knowledge and experience regarding the Company and its businesses. In addition, the Board noted Mr. Diller's ability to exercise influence (subject to the Company's organizational documents and Delaware law) over the outcome of matters involving the Company that require stockholder approval given the fact that he and certain members of his family collectively have sole voting and/or investment power over all of shares of IAC Class B common stock outstanding, which shares represent a significant percentage of the voting power of IAC capital stock.

Corporate Governance

        Leadership Structure.    The Company's business and affairs are overseen by its Board of Directors, which currently has twelve members. There are three management representatives on the Board and, of the nine remaining current directors, eight are independent. The Board has an Audit Committee, Compensation and Human Resources Committee and Nominating Committee, each comprised solely of independent directors, as well as an Executive Committee. For more information regarding director independence and our Board Committees, see the discussion under "Director Independence" beginning on page 12 and Board Committees beginning on page 14. All of our directors play an active role in Board matters, are encouraged to communicate among themselves and directly with the Chairman and Senior Executive and Chief Executive Officer and have full access to Company management at all times.

        Our independent directors meet in scheduled executive sessions without management present at least twice a year and may schedule additional meetings as they deem appropriate. We do not have a lead independent director or any other formally appointed leader for these sessions. The independent membership of our Audit, Compensation and Human Resources and Nominating Committees ensures that directors with no ties to Company management are charged with oversight for all financial reporting and executive compensation related decisions made by Company management, as well as for recommending candidates for Board membership. At each regularly scheduled Board meeting, the Chair of each of these committees provides the full Board with an update of all significant matters discussed, reviewed, considered and/or approved by the relevant committee since the last regularly scheduled Board meeting.

        Mr. Diller currently serves as both our Chairman and Senior Executive and has held both positions since December 2010. Effective June 24, 2015, Mr. Levin assumed the role of Chief Executive Officer of IAC. This leadership change provides the Company with the benefit of Mr. Diller's continued oversight of the Company's strategic goals and vision, coupled with the benefit of a full-time Chief Executive Officer dedicated to focusing on the day-to-day management and continued growth of the Company and its operating businesses. At this time, the Company believes that this leadership structure is the most appropriate one for the Company and its stockholders.

        Risk Oversight.    Company management is responsible for assessing and managing the Company's exposure to various risks on a day-to-day basis, which responsibilities include the creation of appropriate risk management programs and policies. Company management has developed and implemented guidelines and policies to identify, assess and manage significant risks facing the Company. In developing this framework, the Company recognized that leadership and success are impossible without taking risks; however, the imprudent acceptance of risk or the failure to appropriately identify and mitigate risks could adversely impact stockholder value. The Board is responsible for overseeing Company management in the execution of its responsibilities and for assessing the Company's approach to risk management. The Board exercises these responsibilities periodically as part of its meetings and through discussions with Company management, as well as

11


Table of Contents

through the Board's Audit and Compensation and Human Resources Committees, which examine various components of financial and compensation-related risks, respectively, as part of their responsibilities. In addition, an overall review of risk is inherent in the Board's consideration of the Company's long-term strategies and in the transactions and other matters presented to the Board, including significant capital expenditures, acquisitions and divestitures and financial matters. The Board's role in risk oversight of the Company is consistent with the Company's leadership structure, with the Chairman and Senior Executive, Chief Executive Officer and other members of senior management having responsibility for assessing and managing the Company's risk exposure, and the Board and its committees providing oversight in connection with those efforts.

        Compensation Risk Assessment.    We periodically conduct risk assessments of our compensation policies and practices for our employees, including those related to our executive compensation programs. The goal of these assessments is to determine whether the general structure of the Company's compensation policies and programs and the administration of these programs pose any material risks to the Company. The findings of any risk assessment are discussed with the Compensation and Human Resources Committee. Based upon our assessments, we believe that our compensation policies and programs do not encourage excessive or unnecessary risk-taking and are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

        Director Independence.    Under the Marketplace Rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market (the "Marketplace Rules"), the Board has a responsibility to make an affirmative determination that those members of the Board who serve as independent directors do not have any relationships that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. In connection with the independence determinations described below, the Board reviewed information regarding transactions, relationships and arrangements relevant to independence, including those required by the Marketplace Rules. This information is obtained from director responses to questionnaires circulated by Company management, as well as from Company records and publicly available information. Following these determinations, Company management monitors those transactions, relationships and arrangements that were relevant to such determinations, as well as periodically solicits updated information potentially relevant to independence from internal personnel and directors, to determine whether there have been any developments that could potentially have an adverse impact on the Board's prior independence determinations.

        In February 2016, the Board determined that each of Messrs. Bronfman, Eisner, Lourd, Rosenblatt, Spoon and Zannino and Mses. Clinton and Hammer is independent. In connection with this determination, the Board considered that in the ordinary course of business, IAC and its businesses sell products and services to, purchase products and services from, co-invest with and develop and produce projects with, companies at which certain directors are employed or serve as directors, or over which certain directors otherwise exert control. Furthermore, the Board considered whether there were any payments made to (or received from) such entities by IAC and its businesses. Specific payments the Board considered are as follows:

12


Table of Contents

        In the case of Messrs. Bronfman and Rosenblatt and Ms. Clinton, there were no such payments known to Company management for the Board to consider. Of the remaining incumbent directors, Messrs. Diller, Kaufman and Levin are executive officers of the Company and Mr. von Furstenberg is Mr. Diller's stepson. Given these relationships, none of these directors is independent.

        In addition to the satisfaction of the director independence requirements set forth in the Marketplace Rules, members of the Audit and Compensation and Human Resources Committees have also satisfied separate independence requirements under the current standards imposed by the SEC and the Marketplace Rules for audit committee members and by the SEC, the Marketplace Rules and the Internal Revenue Service for compensation committee members.

        In February 2015, the Board determined that one former director, Sonali De Rycker, was independent. In connection with this determination, there were no such payments known to Company management for the Board to consider.

        Director Nominations.    The Nominating Committee identifies, reviews and evaluates individuals qualified to become Board members and recommends candidates to the Board. While there are no specific requirements for eligibility to serve as a director of IAC, in evaluating candidates, the Nominating Committee will consider (regardless of how the candidate was identified or recommended) whether the professional and personal ethics and values of the candidate are consistent with those of IAC, whether the candidate's experience and expertise would be beneficial to the Board, whether the candidate is willing and able to devote the necessary time and energy to the work of the Board and whether the candidate is prepared and qualified to represent the best interests of IAC's stockholders. While the Board does not have a formal diversity policy, the Nominating Committee also considers the overall diversity of the experiences, characteristics, attributes, skills and backgrounds of candidates relative to those of other Board members and those represented by the Board as a whole to ensure that the Board has the right mix of skills, expertise and background.

        The Board does not have a formal policy regarding the consideration of director nominees recommended by stockholders, as historically IAC has not received such recommendations. However, the Board would consider such recommendations if made in the future. Stockholders who wish to make such a recommendation should send the recommendation to IAC, 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, Attention: Corporate Secretary. The envelope must contain a clear notation that the enclosed letter is a "Director Nominee Recommendation." The letter must identify the author as a stockholder, provide a brief summary of the candidate's qualifications and history, together with an indication that the recommended individual would be willing to serve (if elected), and must be accompanied by evidence of the sender's stock ownership. Any director recommendations will be reviewed by the Corporate Secretary and the Chairman, and if deemed appropriate, forwarded to the Nominating Committee for further review. If the Nominating Committee believes that the candidate fits the profile of a director described above, the recommendation will be shared with the entire Board.

        Communications with the IAC Board.    Stockholders who wish to communicate with IAC's Board of Directors or a particular director may send such communication to IAC, 555 West 18th Street, New

13


Table of Contents

York, New York 10011, Attention: Corporate Secretary. The mailing envelope must contain a clear notation indicating that the enclosed letter is a "Stockholder—Board Communication" or "Stockholder—Director Communication." All such letters must identify the author as a stockholder, provide evidence of the sender's stock ownership and clearly state whether the intended recipients are all members of the Board or a particular director or directors. The Corporate Secretary will then review such correspondence and forward it to the Board, or to the specified director(s), if appropriate.

The Board and Board Committees

        The Board.    The Board met four times and acted by written consent once during 2015. During 2015, all then incumbent directors attended at least 75% of the meetings of the Board and the Board committees on which they served. Directors are not required to attend annual meetings of IAC stockholders. One member of the Board of Directors attended IAC's 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

        The Board currently has four standing committees: the Audit Committee, the Compensation and Human Resources Committee, the Nominating Committee and the Executive Committee. From time to time, the Board may also establish ad hoc committees to address particular matters. In April 2016, the Board established a special committee of independent directors (the "Special Committee") to review the proposal to amend IAC's current restated certificate of incorporation as further described in "Proposal 3—Approval of the Adoption of IAC's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation."

        Board Committees.    The following table sets forth the members of each Board committee and the number of meetings held by each such committee, and times that each such committee took action by written consent, during 2015. Each committee member identified below served in the capacities set forth in the table for all of 2015.

qualifications and independence of IAC's independent registered public accounting firm, (iv) the performance of IAC's internal audit function and independent registered public accounting firm, (v) IAC's risk assessment and risk management policies as they relate to financial and other risk exposures and (vi) the compliance by IAC with legal and regulatory requirements. In fulfilling its purpose, the Audit Committee maintains free and open communication among its members, the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, the Company's internal audit function and Company management. The formal report of the Audit Committee is set forth on page 48.

        The Board has previously concluded that Mr. Spoon is an "audit committee financial expert," as such term is defined in applicable SEC rules and the Marketplace Rules.

        Compensation and Human Resources Committee.    The Compensation and Human Resources Committee functions pursuant to a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors, the most recent version of which was filed as Appendix B to IAC's 2014 Annual Meeting proxy statement. The Compensation and Human Resources Committee is appointed by the Board to assist the Board with all matters relating to the compensation of the Company's executive officers and has overall responsibility for approving and evaluating all compensation plans, policies and programs of the Company as they relate to the Company's executive officers. The Compensation and Human Resources Committee may form and delegate authority to subcommittees and may delegate authority to one or more of its members. The Compensation and Human Resources Committee may also delegate to one or more of the Company's executive officers the authority to make grants of equity-based compensation to eligible individuals (other than directors or executive officers) to the extent allowed under applicable law. For additional information on IAC's processes and procedures for the consideration and determination of executive compensation and the related roles of the Compensation and Human Resources Committee, Company management and consultants, see the discussion under "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" generally beginning on page 52. The formal report of the Compensation and Human Resources Committee is set forth on page 59.

        Nominating Committee.    The Nominating Committee functions pursuant to a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors, the most recent version of which was filed as Appendix C to IAC's 2014 Annual Meeting proxy statement. The Nominating Committee is appointed by the Board to assist the Board by: (i) identifying, reviewing and evaluating individuals qualified to become Board members, (ii) recommending director nominees for the next annual meeting of stockholders (and nominees to fill vacancies on the Board as necessary) and (iii) making recommendations with respect to the compensation and benefits of directors.

        Executive Committee.    The Executive Committee has all the power and authority of the Board of Directors of IAC, except those powers specifically reserved to the Board by Delaware law or IAC's organizational documents.


PROPOSAL 2—RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

        Subject to stockholder ratification, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has appointed Ernst & Young LLP as IAC's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016. Ernst & Young LLP has served as IAC's independent registered public accounting firm for many years and is considered by Company management to be well qualified.

        A representative of Ernst & Young LLP is expected to be present at the Annual Meeting and will be given an opportunity to make a statement if he so chooses and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

        Ratification of the appointment of IAC's independent registered public accounting firm requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares of IAC capital stock present at the Annual Meeting in person or represented by proxy and voting together.

        The Board recommends that our stockholders vote FOR the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as IAC's independent registered public accounting firm for 2016.

PROPOSAL 3—APPROVAL OF THE ADOPTION OF IAC'S AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

Proposal and Required Vote

        At the upcoming Annual Meeting, IAC stockholders will be asked to approve the adoption of IAC's amended and restated certificate of incorporation, which establishes the Class C common stock and provides for the equal treatment of all classes of IAC's common stock in connection with dividends. Upon the unanimous recommendation of the Special Committee, our Board unanimously adopted resolutions approving and declaring advisable, the adoption of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "New Certificate") which amends and restates our existing Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the "Current Certificate"). The full text of the New Certificate is attached to this Proxy Statement as Appendix A-1.

        Stockholders will vote on each of the following proposals, which describe the principal amendments to the Current Certificate and which collectively comprise this Proposal 3:

        Approval of the adoption of the New Certificate requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares of IAC common stock and Class B common stock outstanding and entitled to vote, voting together as a single class. Mr. Diller, members of Mr. Diller's family and trusts for the benefit of Mr. Diller's family, which held approximately 44.2% of the combined voting power of IAC's outstanding capital stock as of the record date for the Annual Meeting, have advised that they intend to vote in favor of Proposals 3A and 3B.

        The approval of each of these proposals is required to approve the adoption of the New Certificate, and each is an integral element of the Class C Issuance (as defined below). Accordingly, each of the proposals comprising Proposal 3 is cross-conditioned upon the approval by our stockholders of both of the proposals comprising Proposal 3. None of the actions contemplated by Proposal 3 will proceed if either of Proposal 3A or 3B is not approved by our stockholders. In this Proxy Statement, when we refer to the approval of the adoption of the New Certificate, we are referring to our stockholders approving the adoption of the amendment and restatement of our Current Certificate by approving each of the proposals comprising this Proposal 3, which will collectively constitute the approval of this Proposal 3. The proposals set forth above describe the principal amendments to our Current Certificate. The approval of each of the proposals comprising Proposal 3 will constitute the requisite approval of the adoption of the New Certificate, in the form attached to this Proxy Statement as Appendix A-1, as required by Delaware law. Accordingly, you should read the full text of the New Certificate.

        The Board unanimously recommends that our stockholders vote FOR the approval of the adoption of IAC's amended and restated certificate of incorporation (comprising two proposals).

Table of Contents

Overview

        Our Board, after receiving the unanimous recommendation of the members of the Special Committee who were present at the meeting of the Special Committee at which the Special Committee resolved to recommend the transactions described herein, has determined that it is advisable and in the best interests of our stockholders (other than Mr. Diller and the trusts that hold shares of IAC common stock and Class B common stock beneficially owned by Mr. Diller and/or his family members, as to which no determination was made), to adjust our capital structure by establishing a new class of non-voting capital stock, which will be known as Class C common stock, and potentially declaring and paying a dividend of one share of this new class of capital stock for each outstanding share of IAC common stock and Class B common stock (the "Dividend"). The Class C common stock will be available for use for, among other things, stock-based acquisitions, equity financings and equity-based employee compensation. As further described below, the Special Committee and our Board believe that adding the Class C common stock to our capital structure is in the best interests of holders of IAC common stock (other than Mr. Diller and the trusts that hold shares of IAC common stock and Class B common stock beneficially owned by Mr. Diller and/or his family members, as to which no determination was made).

        As part of the approval of the adoption of the New Certificate, IAC, Mr. Diller and certain trusts that hold shares of IAC capital stock beneficially owned by Mr. Diller and/or his family members (each, a "Diller Party" and collectively with Mr. Diller, the "Diller Parties") have agreed to enter into an agreement that amends and restates the existing governance agreement between IAC and Mr. Diller (the "New Governance Agreement"). In this Proxy Statement, we refer to the transactions contemplated by the adoption of the New Certificate, including the proposed Dividend and the execution of the New Governance Agreement, as the "Class C Issuance."

        The description of the New Certificate in this Proxy Statement is qualified in its entirety by reference to, and should be read in conjunction with, the full text of the New Certificate which is attached to this Proxy Statement as Appendix A-1. For convenience of reference, a copy of the New Certificate showing the changes from the Current Certificate, with the deleted text shown in strikethrough and added or moved text shown as underlined, is attached to this Proxy Statement as Appendix A-2.

        If the New Certificate is adopted by the required vote of our stockholders, we intend to file the New Certificate with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The New Certificate will be effective immediately upon acceptance of the filing by the Secretary of State. The Board reserves the right to abandon or delay the filing of the New Certificate even if it is approved by our stockholders.

        The Board has expressed its current intention, subject to stockholder approval of the adoption of the New Certificate and the filing and effectiveness of the New Certificate, to declare and pay a dividend of one share of Class C common stock for each share of IAC common stock and Class B common stock outstanding as of a record date to be determined by the Board. At this time, the Board is not aware of any factors other than the approval of the adoption of the New Certificate by our stockholders that may impact its decision as to whether to declare and pay the Dividend. Stockholder approval of the Dividend is not required and is not being solicited by this Proxy Statement. Nevertheless, even if the New Certificate is approved by our stockholders, the Board may decide not to immediately declare and pay the Dividend and there can be no assurance that the Board will elect to proceed with the Dividend. We intend to announce the Dividend on a future date, when and if, it is declared.

        In addition, as described in Proposal 4, we are also asking our stockholders to approve the amendment and restatement of IAC's 2013 Stock and Annual Incentive Plan (the "2013 Plan") to accommodate IAC's new capital structure, the approval of which is not cross-conditioned upon the approval by our stockholders of the two proposals comprising Proposal 3. If the Dividend is declared

17


Table of Contents

and paid, the Board intends that all outstanding stock options and restricted stock units ("RSUs") granted pursuant to the 2013 Plan will be adjusted as described under "Certain Other Effects of Class C Issuance—Effect on Equity Based Incentive Plans and Outstanding Equity Awards."

        As part of the approval of the adoption of the New Certificate, IAC and the Diller Parties have agreed to enter into the New Governance Agreement pursuant to which the Diller Parties will agree, subject to certain exceptions, not to sell, assign, transfer, convey, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of any shares of Class C common stock to a third party if, as a result of such transfer, the Diller Parties would then beneficially own, in the aggregate, a number of shares of Class C common stock that is less than the number of shares of Class B common stock beneficially owned, in the aggregate, by the Diller Parties on the date that the Dividend is paid to IAC stockholders, which number may be reduced from time to time by certain transactions. In addition, pursuant to the New Governance Agreement, IAC and the Diller Parties agree not to enter into or consummate any Covered Transactions (as defined below) unless it provides for the same type and amount of consideration (or mix of consideration) or an offer to receive the same type and amount of consideration (or mix of consideration) to all holders of IAC common stock, Class B common stock, and Class C common stock, subject to certain exceptions. See "Second Amended and Restated Governance Agreement" below.

        As more fully explained below, the Dividend, if it is declared and paid, will not affect the relative voting power of any stockholders. See "Certain Other Effects of the Class C Issuance—Effect on Relative Voting Power and Equity Interest" for more information.

        The shares of IAC common stock will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Stock Market after the Class C Issuance and the potential Dividend. If the Dividend is declared and paid, we intend to qualify the shares of Class C common stock for listing on The Nasdaq Stock Market upon their issuance.

        The Special Committee and the Board believe that the Class C Issuance and the Dividend, if it is declared and paid, will have a number of benefits for our stockholders (other than Mr. Diller and the trusts that hold shares IAC common stock and Class B common stock beneficially owned by Mr. Diller and/or his family members, as to which no determination was made). See "The Special Committee's and the Board's Reasons for the Class C Issuance" below. The Special Committee and the Board also believe that the Class C Issuance and the Dividend, if it is declared and paid, may also involve a number of potential negative consequences. See "Potential Negative Considerations Relating to the Class C Issuance" below.

The Special Committee

        The Special Committee was established in April 2016 as a committee of the Board to make a recommendation to the Board as to whether the creation of a new class of non-voting stock would be in the best interests of the stockholders of IAC (other than Mr. Diller and his affiliates) and, if so, to negotiate the terms and any related governance arrangements in connection with the creation of the new class of non-voting stock.

        The Board appointed Edgar Bronfman, Jr., Chelsea Clinton, Michael Eisner, Bonnie Hammer, Bryan Lourd, David Rosenblatt, Alan Spoon, and Richard F. Zannino as members of the Special Committee. Following the establishment of the Special Committee, the members of the Special Committee appointed Mr. Zannino as the Chair of the Special Committee. The Board determined that the members of the Special Committee were: (i) independent of Mr. Diller and (ii) disinterested with respect to the Class C Issuance. The Board determined that any interest any of the directors may have by virtue of their ownership of shares of IAC common stock would not compromise their ability to exercise independent and disinterested business judgment in evaluating the potential Class C Issuance. The members of the Special Committee have not been compensated for their service.

        The Board authorized the Special Committee to retain, at IAC's expense, such legal, financial, and other advisors, consultants, and experts as the Special Committee determined to be necessary or

appropriate to assist and advise the Special Committee in performing its responsibilities, and to enter into contracts with such advisors, consultants, and experts for their compensation, reimbursement of expenses, and indemnification. The Board also resolved that the Special Committee would have the power to direct the appropriate officers of IAC to provide such information and assistance as may be requested by the Special Committee in the exercise of its responsibilities. The Special Committee engaged Greenhill & Co., LLC as its independent financial advisor and Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP as its independent legal advisor.

Background

        Mr. Diller has been the Chairman of the Board of Directors and the Senior Executive of IAC since December 2010. Mr. Diller previously served as a director and Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of IAC (and its predecessors) from August 1995 to November 2010.

        Since its inception, IAC has had two classes of common equity securities, IAC common stock and Class B common stock. The IAC common stock and the Class B common stock have identical economic rights. The IAC common stock has one vote per share and the Class B common stock has ten votes per share. The two classes vote together on all matters except as required by law and except that the IAC common stock has the separate right to elect 25% of the members of IAC's Board. The voting and other rights of the Class B common stock continue in effect so long as the Class B common stock is outstanding and, unlike the high vote common stock of some companies that have a dual class common stock structure, do not lose their characteristics upon transfer to an unaffiliated third party, if Mr. Diller is no longer affiliated with IAC or if the equity ownership represented by the Class B common stock falls below a specified percentage of the combined common equity. All of the shares of Class B common stock are currently beneficially held by Mr. Diller, members of Mr. Diller's family, and trusts for the benefit of Mr. Diller and his family.

        On February 22, 2016, in connection with the long-term estate planning of Mr. Diller and his family, Mr. Diller: (i) transferred an aggregate of 136,711 shares of IAC common stock and 5,248,598 shares of Class B common stock to two grantor retained annuity trusts, over which Mr. Diller has sole investment power and Mr. Diller's spouse, Ms. Diane von Furstenberg, has sole voting power (the "2016 GRATs"); and (ii) transferred 540,901 shares of Class B common stock to a trust for the benefit of certain of his family members (the "2016 Family Trust"), over which Mr. Diller's stepson, Mr. Alexander von Furstenberg, has sole voting and sole investment power.

        In addition, pursuant to an amended and restated governance agreement between IAC and Mr. Diller, dated as of August 9, 2005 (the "Governance Agreement"), for so long as Mr. Diller serves as IAC's Chairman and Senior Executive and he beneficially owns (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) at least 5,000,000 shares of Class B common stock and/or IAC common stock in which he has a pecuniary interest (including by way of sole investment power over the securities in the 2016 GRATs), he generally has the right to consent to certain corporate matters in the event that IAC's ratio of total debt to EBITDA (as defined in the Governance Agreement) equals or exceeds four to one over a continuous twelve-month period (the "Consent Rights"). An event triggering the effectiveness of the Consent Rights has never occurred. Pursuant to the Governance Agreement, Mr. Diller is also entitled to customary, transferable registration rights with respect to the IAC common stock owned by him.

        As of the record date for the Annual Meeting, Mr. Diller, members of Mr. Diller's family and trusts for the benefit of Mr. Diller and his family (including the 2016 GRATs and the 2016 Family Trust) beneficially owned all of the 5,789,499 outstanding shares of Class B common stock and 193,407 shares of IAC common stock (which excludes shares of IAC common stock issuable upon potential conversion of the Class B common stock and shares of common stock underlying vested options), collectively representing approximately 44.2% of the total outstanding voting power of IAC and approximately 7.5% of the total outstanding economic interests of IAC.

        At all times since the inception of IAC, Mr. Diller and his family, directly or through proxies over a significant portion of the voting power of IAC's outstanding equity securities, have been in a position to influence, subject to our organizational documents and Delaware law, the composition of the Board and the outcome of corporate actions requiring stockholder approval, such as mergers, business combinations and dispositions of assets, among other corporate transactions.

        At the time of its inception, IAC (originally named Silver King Broadcasting Company) was a hybrid media/electronic retailing company. After several name changes (first to HSN, Inc., then to USA Networks, Inc., USA Interactive and InterActiveCorp, and finally, to IAC/InterActiveCorp) and the completion of a number of significant corporate transactions over the years, IAC transformed itself into a leading media and Internet company. IAC has continued to engage in transformational corporate transactions, through acquisitions, dispositions and spin-offs of businesses, and expects to engage in these types of transactions in the future in order to continue to grow stockholder value. In its recent history, IAC has financed acquisitions using cash. However, in light of IAC's current cash position and leverage capacity, IAC anticipates that issuances of common equity securities may be an important component of the consideration paid in future acquisitions.

        On April 6, 2016, at a special meeting of the Board, Mr. Diller communicated to the Board a proposal from IAC management that the Board consider the creation of a new class of non-voting common stock ("Class C common stock") in order to, among other things, provide IAC with a mechanism to issue common equity securities in the future for acquisitions and equity awards without diluting the voting power of the holders of the IAC common stock and the Class B common stock. Mr. Diller explained that, in his view, the creation of a class of nonvoting stock would facilitate continued growth of IAC while maintaining its stability and enabling IAC to focus on achieving the Board's long-term objectives. Mr. Diller acknowledged that, while the creation of a class of nonvoting stock would have ancillary benefits to Mr. Diller and his affiliates as the holders of the shares of Class B common stock, the purpose of the nonvoting stock would be to provide increased flexibility to IAC and its management team with the objective of enhancing value for all of the Company's stockholders in a capital structure where investors have always understood control rests and can be transferred in perpetuity by Mr. Diller and his family members. Following discussion, the Board authorized the creation of the Special Committee to evaluate and respond to Mr. Diller's request. The purpose of the Special Committee was to make a recommendation to the Board with regard to whether the creation of a new class of Class C common stock (the "Class C Issuance") was in the best interests of the IAC stockholders (other than the Diller Parties) and, if so, to negotiate the terms and any related governance arrangements in connection with the Class C Issuance. The Special Committee was authorized to hire independent legal and financial advisors. Mr. Diller consulted with and has continued to be advised by Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz ("Wachtell Lipton") as legal counsel in connection with this matter.

        The Board appointed Mses. Clinton and Hammer and Messrs. Bronfman, Jr., Eisner, Lourd, Rosenblatt, Spoon, and Zannino as members of the Special Committee. Following the formation of the Special Committee, and the appointment of members of the Special Committee, the members of the Special Committee appointed Mr. Zannino as Chairman. The Board determined that the members of the Special Committee were: (i) independent of Mr. Diller and (ii) disinterested with respect to the Class C Issuance. The Board determined that any interest any of the directors may have by virtue of their ownership of shares of IAC common stock would not compromise their ability to exercise independent and disinterested business judgment in evaluating the potential Class C Issuance.

        The Special Committee considered a number of potential candidates to act its financial advisor. Following consideration and review of potential candidates, the Special Committee engaged Greenhill & Co., LLC ("Greenhill") to act as its financial advisor. The Special Committee selected its financial advisor based upon its qualifications, previous experience, and absence of conflicts with respect to the proposed Class C Issuance. Pursuant to an engagement letter entered into on April 19,

Table of Contents

2016 (the "Engagement Letter"), IAC agreed to pay Greenhill fees of up to $2 million for services rendered as its financial adviser. Pursuant to terms of the Engagement Letter, IAC also agreed to indemnify Greenhill and certain related persons of Greenhill against certain liabilities and expenses relating to or arising out of their engagement.

        On April 20, 2016, the Special Committee held a telephonic meeting attended by representatives of Greenhill to discuss the proposed Class C Issuance. At that meeting, the Special Committee determined to engage Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP ("Fried Frank") as its legal counsel. The Special Committee selected Fried Frank based upon its qualifications, previous experience, and absence of conflicts with respect to the proposed Class C Issuance. In connection with its decision to engage Fried Frank, the Special Committee was advised of certain prior legal work performed by Fried Frank for Mr. Diller's not-for-profit corporation and concluded that this prior work would not compromise Fried Frank's ability to provide independent legal advice to the Special Committee. After this determination, representatives of Fried Frank joined the meeting and made a presentation to the Special Committee regarding the fiduciary duties of the members of the Special Committee, the legal standard applicable to the transaction, the current ownership and governance structure of IAC and other matters.

        At the April 20, 2016 meeting, the Special Committee and its advisors discussed the significant voting power held by the Diller Parties by virtue of their ownership of the Class B common stock; the perpetual nature of the Class B common stock; the fact that the Diller Parties have essentially unfettered ability to transfer significant control or influence over IAC to a third party via a transfer of the Class B common stock; and that substantial issuances of IAC common stock would be required to dilute the voting power of the Diller Parties to a level at which the Diller Parties might no longer exercise significant control or influence over IAC. The Special Committee and its advisors then discussed certain other recent reclassification transactions involving the creation of non-voting common stock by companies with a dual class common stock structure and considerations that the Special Committee might deem relevant in evaluating the potential Class C Issuance.

        On April 28, 2016, the Special Committee held a telephonic meeting which was attended by representatives of each of Greenhill and Fried Frank. At that meeting, representatives of Greenhill reviewed with the Special Committee certain historical information regarding IAC, certain information regarding other publicly traded companies with dual class common stock structures, and information concerning certain reclassification transactions involving publicly traded companies with dual class common stock structures. Among other things, the information presented by representatives of Greenhill indicated, based on the limited available precedents involving issuance of non-voting common stock by publicly traded companies with an existing dual class common stock structure, that non-voting common stock would likely trade at a modest discount to the issuing company's existing low vote common stock.

        At this meeting, the Special Committee and its advisors reviewed the potential benefits to the Diller Parties, and the potential benefits and detriments to holders of IAC common stock (other than the Diller Parties) of a Class C Issuance, including possible benefits that could be sought on behalf of the holders of IAC common stock as part of a negotiation with Mr. Diller. The Special Committee identified as a potential benefit to the Diller Parties and as a potential detriment to the holders of IAC common stock (other than the Diller Parties) the likelihood that a Class C Issuance could reinforce the control or influence of the Diller Parties over IAC, which otherwise might be diluted over time as a result of additional issuances of IAC common stock by IAC or dispositions of Class B common stock by the Diller Parties. In addition, the Special Committee recognized that potential economic dilution could result from using Class C common stock rather than IAC common stock in the future for acquisitions, financings and equity awards, in view of the fact that Class C common stock would likely trade at a discount to the IAC common stock. At the same time, the Special Committee recognized that the voting power held by the Diller Parties has not changed meaningfully since the inception of IAC, and

21


Table of Contents

that substantial net issuances of IAC common stock (after taking into account stock buybacks) would be necessary to materially dilute the voting power of the Class B common stock. The Special Committee considered that potential dilution of the voting power of the Class B common stock might nonetheless serve as an inhibition on the willingness of Mr. Diller to pursue acquisitions that require the use of equity as consideration, and viewed this potential inhibition as a meaningful factor in light of IAC's historic record of creating value through acquisitions, the desirability of IAC continuing to pursue acquisitions to grow stockholder value, and IAC's current net cash position and balance sheet flexibility. In addition, the Special Committee viewed the potential Class C Issuance as an opportunity to obtain modifications to the existing rights of the Class B common stock for the benefit of the holders of IAC common stock (other than the Diller Parties). Following this discussion, the Special Committee determined to convene a follow-up meeting to discuss possible next steps.

        On May 5, 2016, the Special Committee held a telephonic meeting which was attended by representatives of each of Greenhill and Fried Frank. It was the view of the Special Committee, without making a definitive determination on the ultimate outcome, that it would be in the interests of the holders of IAC common stock to explore the Class C Issuance and, in that connection, to make an initial proposal to Mr. Diller. The Special Committee reviewed the potential terms of an initial proposal, which reflected negotiating positions, certain terms that had not been included in other reclassifications, and certain terms that would require the Diller Parties to agree to significant modifications of the existing rights of the Class B common stock. Following the meeting, the members of the Special Committee approved the terms of the initial proposal and directed Fried Frank to communicate it to Wachtell Lipton.

        At a meeting held on May 16, 2016, representatives of Fried Frank outlined to Wachtell Lipton the initial proposal of the Special Committee. The representatives of Fried Frank indicated that the Special Committee would be prepared to support the Class C Issuance if Mr. Diller would agree to the following: (i) a "sunset" provision, whereby the Class B common stock would cease to be perpetual and would automatically convert into IAC common stock upon certain events, such as Mr. Diller's death or permanent disability, Mr. Diller's resignation from the role of Senior Executive of IAC or his removal from the role of Senior Executive for cause, or upon transfer by the Diller Parties of shares of Class B common stock to an unaffiliated third party (the "Class B Sunset provision"), (ii) a "staple" provision, whereby the Diller Parties must transfer shares of Class B common stock and Class C common stock in the same proportions (or convert a proportionate number of shares of Class B common stock to IAC common stock), so that the Diller Parties would not be able to monetize their holdings of Class C common stock without a proportionate reduction in their holdings of Class B common stock (the "Staple provision"), (iii) an "equal treatment" requirement, whereby in any merger, consolidation, tender or exchange offer or other business combination, or any private sale transaction by the Diller Parties, holders of Class B common stock would not be entitled to receive a premium not shared with all stockholders of IAC and all holders of IAC common stock, Class C common stock and Class B common stock would receive the same per share consideration (the "Equal Treatment provision"), and (iv) termination of the Consent Rights under the Governance Agreement. In addition, Fried Frank communicated that the Special Committee was proposing that the Class C Issuance be conditioned upon approval by a majority of the shares of IAC common stock (excluding shares held by the Diller Parties).

        On May 19, 2016, representatives of Wachtell Lipton spoke with representatives of Fried Frank to communicate Mr. Diller's initial response to the Special Committee's initial proposal. Wachtell Lipton indicated that Mr. Diller believed that the Class C Issuance was in the interests of all stockholders of IAC, but that Mr. Diller was not prepared to change certain fundamental characteristics of the Class B common stock, such as the fact that the voting and other rights of the Class B common stock continue in effect so long as the Class B common stock is outstanding and the Class B common stock does not convert to IAC common stock upon transfer to an unaffiliated third party or if Mr. Diller is no longer affiliated with IAC. Wachtell Lipton indicated that Mr. Diller: (i) would not agree to the Class B

22


Table of Contents

Sunset provision, but would agree that, in the event that in the future the Class B common stock represented less than 15% of the combined voting power of all classes of common equity securities of IAC, the Class C common stock would convert to IAC common stock (the "Class C Conversion provision"), (ii) would agree to the Staple provision, but for a limited number of years, and not indefinitely, (iii) would agree to the termination of the Consent Rights under the Governance Agreement, and (iv) would agree to an Equal Treatment provision in the event of a merger, consolidation, tender or exchange offer or other business combination (with an exception for stock-for-stock transactions in which the relative economic and voting rights of IAC's common equity securities are preserved), but would reserve the right to (a) request a premium for his shares subject to approval by an independent committee of IAC's directors and (b) sell his shares at a premium in a private transaction. In addition, Wachtell Lipton reported that Mr. Diller was prepared to condition the Class C Issuance only upon approval by the vote of stockholders required by applicable law and IAC's Certificate of Incorporation (i.e., the approval of the holders of a majority of the combined voting power of the IAC common stock and Class B common stock, voting as a single class).

        On May 24, 2016, the Special Committee held a telephonic meeting to discuss Mr. Diller's initial response, which was attended by representatives of Greenhill and Fried Frank. The Special Committee concluded that it wished to seek to extract additional benefits and protections for the stockholders of IAC (excluding the Diller Parties) from Mr. Diller.

        On June 1, 2016, representatives of Fried Frank and Wachtell Lipton held a telephonic meeting to discuss the Special Committee's response to Mr. Diller's proposal. Representatives of Fried Frank requested that Mr. Diller submit a revised proposal for the Special Committee's consideration.

        On June 10, 2016, representatives of Wachtell Lipton sent a written proposal to Fried Frank. The written proposal did not differ materially from the proposal conveyed orally to Fried Frank on May 19, 2016.

        On June 23, 2016, the Special Committee held a meeting which was attended by representatives of each of Greenhill and Fried Frank. Mr. Diller also attended a portion of the meeting at the invitation of the Special Committee. At the meeting, Mr. Diller expressed to the Special Committee his view that the Class C Issuance would benefit all stockholders of IAC and would remove a potential inhibition on the use of common equity of IAC for acquisitions. In that context, Mr. Diller noted that, while he would not necessarily be opposed to the use of IAC common stock if a compelling acquisition opportunity presented itself, IAC had not used common equity for material acquisitions in the recent past. Mr. Diller also reaffirmed, as previously communicated by Wachtell Lipton, that he did not intend to change certain fundamental characteristics of the Class B common stock, which were more favorable to holders of Class B common stock than the terms of the high vote common stock of some other companies with a dual class common stock structure.

        On July 25, 2016, representatives of Wachtell Lipton sent a revised proposal to Fried Frank for the Special Committee's consideration. The proposal was substantially similar to Mr. Diller's previous written proposal, except that it provided that: (i) if at any time Mr. Diller, his affiliates and heirs cease to own at least 15% of the total voting power of all IAC's outstanding capital stock, IAC would be restricted from issuing additional shares of Class C common stock without the prior approval of a special committee of directors (the "Freeze Event provision") and (ii) following the Class C Issuance, IAC would not be permitted to issue additional shares of Class B common stock (the "Class B Freeze provision").

        On August 5, 2016, the Special Committee held a telephonic meeting attended by representatives of Greenhill and Fried Frank. At that meeting, the Special Committee instructed Fried Frank to submit a revised proposal to Wachtell Lipton.

23


Table of Contents

        On August 11, 2016, as directed by the Special Committee, representatives of Fried Frank sent a revised proposal to Wachtell Lipton. This proposal contemplated that: (i) there would be no Class B Sunset provision, (ii) the Class C Conversion provision would have a 25% trigger (rather than the 15% trigger proposed by Mr. Diller), (iii) the Class C common stock would automatically convert to IAC common stock on the death or permanent disability of Mr. Diller, if Mr. Diller resigned from the position of Senior Executive of IAC or were removed from that position for cause (the "Class C Sunset provision"), (iv) the Staple provision would be indefinite, (v) the Consent Rights under the Governance Agreement would terminate, (vi) the Equal Treatment provision would apply to a merger, consolidation, tender or exchange offer or other business combination (with an exception for stock-for-stock transactions in which the relative economic and voting rights of IAC's common equity securities are preserved) and to any private sale by the Diller Parties, and would not contain an exception allowing the Diller Parties to receive more favorable treatment for their shares if approved by a committee of independent directors, (vii) the Freeze Event provision would be triggered if at any time the Diller Parties cease to own at least 25% (rather than 15%) of the total voting power of all of IAC's outstanding capital stock, and (viii) the Class B Freeze provision would be deleted.

        On August 18, 2016, Mr. Diller spoke with Mr. Zannino. In the course of that discussion, Mr. Diller indicated he was not prepared to accept the Special Committee's August 11, 2016 proposal. Following that discussion, Mr. Zannino requested that Fried Frank follow up with Wachtell Lipton to clarify Mr. Diller's position. On August 19, 2016, representatives of Wachtell Lipton and Fried Frank spoke. Wachtell Lipton indicated that Mr. Diller was not prepared to agree to the Class C Sunset provision. However, following a discussion, Wachtell Lipton agreed to explore whether Mr. Diller would be prepared to submit a revised proposal addressing the remaining elements of the August 11, 2016 proposal. On August 23, 2016, representatives of Wachtell Lipton informed Fried Frank that Mr. Diller would submit a revised proposal. On August 30, 2016, representatives of Wachtell Lipton sent a further revised proposal to Fried Frank.

        The principal changes proposed by Mr. Diller in his August 30, 2016 revised proposal were: (i) the deletion of the Class C Sunset provision, (ii) the addition of exceptions to the Equal Treatment provision to permit disparate treatment of the IAC common stock or Class C common stock in a merger, consolidation, tender or exchange offer, if that treatment were approved by a special committee or by the holders of the relevant class or classes, (iii) the reinsertion of a five-year time limit on the Staple provision, and (iv) reducing the triggers in the Class C Conversion provision and Freeze Event provision from 25% to 20% of the total voting power of all IAC's outstanding capital stock.

        On September 12, 2016, the Special Committee held a telephonic meeting that was attended by representatives of each of Greenhill and Fried Frank. After discussion, the Special Committee instructed Fried Frank to send a revised proposal to Wachtell Lipton, which was sent that same day. The principal changes in the revised proposal were: (i) to require that material issuances of Class C common stock be subject to approval by a special committee of directors, and (ii) to revert to a Staple provision of indefinite duration.

        On September 13, 2016, Wachtell Lipton informed Fried Frank that Mr. Diller would not accept the principal changes proposed by the Special Committee on September 12, 2016. At the conclusion of a regularly scheduled meeting of the Board on September 20, 2016, Mr. Diller engaged the Special Committee in a further discussion regarding the Class C Issuance and encouraged the members of the Special Committee to accept his August 30, 2016 proposal. The Special Committee determined to reconvene, with its financial and legal advisers, for a further discussion.

        On September 23, 2016, the Special Committee held a telephonic meeting that was attended by representatives of each of Greenhill and Fried Frank. At this meeting, the Special Committee reviewed the course of negotiations with Mr. Diller, the potential benefits of the Class C Issuance to the Diller Parties, and the potential benefits and detriments of the Class C Issuance to the holders of IAC common stock (other than the Diller Parties). The Special Committee then reviewed the principal open issues arising out of the Special Committee's September 12, 2016 proposal. The Special Committee

24


Table of Contents

recognized that material issuances of equity securities of IAC are subject to approval by the Board, eight of the twelve members of which are members of the Special Committee, and concluded that it was not necessary to require a separate special committee to approve issuances of Class C common stock. The Special Committee concluded, however, that it was appropriate to require that the Staple provision apply to transfers by the Diller Parties for an indefinite period. The Special Committee concluded that, without this feature, the Special Committee was not prepared to recommend the Class C Issuance. At the request of the Special Committee, Mr. Zannino communicated this position to a representative of IAC. On September 29, 2016, a representative of IAC advised Mr. Zannino, and Wachtell Lipton advised Fried Frank, that Mr. Diller would agree to the indefinite Staple provision.

        Between September 29 and October 17, 2016, representatives of Wachtell Lipton and Fried Frank substantially completed the proposed definitive documentation for the Class C Issuance. At a meeting of the Special Committee on October 17, 2016 that was attended by representatives of each of Greenhill and Fried Frank, the Special Committee reviewed the proposed terms of the Class C Issuance, and determined to recommend the Class C Issuance to the Board.

        On November 1, 2016, the Board unanimously adopted resolutions approving and declaring advisable the Class C Issuance, including the adoption of the New Certificate and entry into the New Governance Agreement, and the amendment and restatement of the 2013 Plan.

The Special Committee's and the Board's Reasons for the Class C Issuance

        The Special Committee and the Board believe that the Class C Issuance, the adoption of the New Certificate, and the potential declaration and payment of the Dividend are advisable and in the best interests of IAC and our stockholders (other than Mr. Diller and the trusts that hold shares of IAC capital stock beneficially owned by Mr. Diller and/or his family members, with respect to which no determination was made by the Special Committee and the Board). The Board unanimously recommends that our stockholders vote FOR the approval of the adoption of the New Certificate in connection with the Class C Issuance and Dividend. The Special Committee and the Board believe that the potential advantages of the Class C Issuance and the Dividend, if it is declared and paid, include, but are not limited to, the factors listed below. These factors are not intended to be exhaustive, but include the material factors considered by the Special Committee and the Board in deciding to proceed with the Class C Issuance and the Dividend, if it is declared and paid. In light of the variety of factors considered, neither the Special Committee nor the Board found it practicable to quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors considered in reaching their respective determinations and recommendations, and they did not do so. Moreover, individual members of the Special Committee and the Board may have considered particular factors to have greater or lesser significance in their deliberations.

         The Class C Issuance Should Enhance IAC's Ability to Focus on Long-term Growth Opportunities, including Growth through Acquisitions using Common Equity

        The Special Committee and the Board believe that, in order to grow stockholder value, IAC must continue to pursue acquisition opportunities and that, in view of our current debt position and leverage capacity, IAC may need to use common equity as an acquisition currency. The ability to issue Class C common stock would permit us to use common equity as an acquisition currency without concerns regarding potential voting dilution of the Diller Parties and any potential inhibition on the willingness of the Diller Parties to support the use of common equity for acquisitions. IAC does not have, at this time, any plan, commitment, arrangement, understanding or agreement to issue any shares of Class C common stock that would be authorized by the New Certificate in connection with any acquisition, merger or similar business combination transaction.

        Since its inception, IAC has had two classes of common equity securities: IAC common stock and Class B common stock. The IAC common stock and the Class B common stock have identical economic rights. The IAC common stock has one vote per share and the Class B common stock has

25


Table of Contents

ten votes per share. The two classes vote together on all matters, except as required by law and except that the IAC common stock has the separate right to elect 25% of the Board. The voting and other rights of the Class B common stock continue in effect so long as the Class B common stock is outstanding and, unlike the high vote common stock of most companies that have a dual class common stock structure, do not lose their characteristics upon transfer to an unaffiliated third party, if Mr. Diller is no longer affiliated with IAC or if the equity ownership represented by the Class B common stock falls below a specified percentage of the combined common equity. All of the shares of Class B common stock are currently held by Mr. Diller, members of Mr. Diller's family, and trusts for the benefit of Mr. Diller and his family.

        At all times since the inception of IAC, Mr. Diller and his family, directly or through proxies over a significant portion of the voting power of IAC's outstanding equity securities, have been in a position to influence, subject to our organizational documents and Delaware law, the composition of the Board and the outcome of corporate actions requiring stockholder approval, such as mergers, business combinations and dispositions of assets, among other corporate transactions.

        The Special Committee and the Board believe that IAC's existing corporate governance structure has enabled us to innovate and invest for the long-term while maintaining our focus on the long-term best interests of all of our stockholders. The Special Committee and the Board believe that this ability to focus on the long term has generated, and will continue to generate, substantial benefits for all of our stockholders and has been an important competitive advantage. Our corporate governance structure has also helped to insulate us from short-term pressure and outside influences that could distract our management team from its long-term vision and objectives, including activist investors.

        The Special Committee and the Board view Mr. Diller's leadership, vision and creativity as critical factors in our long-term success. Since the early days of IAC, Mr. Diller has had a vision that technical leaps in interactivity would revolutionize commerce and the role IAC would play in this future that has come to pass. This focus has driven IAC to acquire, create and assemble high-performing businesses and category leaders, transforming entire industries, such as travel, ticketing and dating, and disrupting daily social interactions in the process. Along the way, IAC created large, successful businesses that were spun off to our stockholders only to start building anew. This process of acquisition, development and disposition of large, successful businesses has continued from the early days of IAC up to the present.

        We effected an initial public offering of a minority interest in our principal current subsidiary, Match Group, Inc., in November 2015. Our other current businesses comprise a mix of growing businesses, HomeAdvisor and Vimeo, and more mature businesses, Publishing and Applications. The Special Committee and the Board believe that, in order to grow stockholder value, IAC must continue to pursue acquisition opportunities and that, in view of our current debt position and leverage capacity, IAC may need to use common equity as an acquisition currency. The ability to issue Class C common stock would permit us to use common equity as an acquisition currency without concerns regarding potential voting dilution of the Diller Parties and any potential inhibition on the willingness of the Diller Parties to support the use of common equity for acquisitions. Likewise, many sellers of assets prefer, or require, the transaction to be tax free, which requires the use of equity, or have a preference to receive equity for other reasons, such as their desire to remain long-term investors in the combined company. The use of common equity rather than cash (including cash obtained through increased leverage) will also create financial flexibility for IAC, which could help us reinvest in our businesses for future growth or take advantage of other opportunities to increase stockholder value.

        The Special Committee and the Board considered that potential dilution of the voting power of the Class B common stock might serve as an inhibition on the willingness of Mr. Diller to pursue acquisitions that require the use of equity as consideration, and viewed this potential inhibition as a meaningful factor in light of IAC's historic record of creating value through acquisitions, the desirability of IAC continuing to pursue acquisitions to grow stockholder value, and IAC's current net cash position and balance sheet flexibility. The Special Committee and the Board believe that the Class C

Issuance and the Dividend, if it is declared and paid, are appropriate ways to make it more likely that we are in a position to pursue transformational transactions using our common equity.

         Equal Treatment of Shares of IAC Common Stock, Class B Common Stock and Class C Common Stock

        Currently, the Diller Parties have essentially unfettered ability to transfer their equity interest in IAC to a third party of their choosing without the Board or other stockholders of IAC having the opportunity to participate in or influence that transaction or the identity of the party that would become our new principal voting stockholder. The disparity between the voting interest and the economic interest of the Diller Parties, who controlled approximately 44.2% of the voting power of IAC while holding approximately 7.5% of the economic interest in IAC as of the record date for the Annual Meeting, means that it would be possible for a third party to acquire significant control or influence over IAC via an acquisition of equity securities solely from the Diller Parties, without giving other stockholders the opportunity to participate in the transaction or to receive a control premium for their shares.

        The New Governance Agreement will specify that upon any sale of IAC or other change of control transaction, including a merger, third-party tender offer or other business combination involving or open to all Company stockholders, and any private transaction by the Diller Parties that would result in the third party or group holding 25% or more of the total voting power of all IAC's outstanding capital stock, shares of IAC common stock and Class C common stock would be entitled to receive the same amount and type of consideration, on a per share basis, as the shares of Class B common stock, except: (a) in the case of certain stock-for-stock transactions where the three-class structure is substantially replicated; (b) in the event of any private sale by the Diller Parties of shares of Class B common stock to a third party or group at a price per share no higher than the market price of the common stock as of the date such sale is agreed or closed (whichever is higher); (c) where receipt by the holders of IAC common stock or Class C common stock of different consideration from that received by any other class of common stock has been approved by the holders of shares of such class; or (d) as may be approved by a special committee of IAC's directors. See "Second Amended and Restated Governance Agreement" below.

        The Special Committee and the Board believe that these equal treatment provisions could confer important benefits on the stockholders of IAC (other than the Diller Parties). These provisions substantially restrict the ability of the Diller Parties to receive a premium for their shares in IAC in a private transaction and should encourage the Diller Parties, should they seek to dispose of their equity interest in IAC, to do so in a transaction that is open to all stockholders. In the case of any transaction (other than certain stock-for-stock transactions replicating the three-class common stock structure) in which holders of shares of IAC common stock or Class C common stock would receive different per share consideration than that received by the Diller Parties, a special committee of independent and disinterested directors would have advance notice of, the opportunity to participate in discussions regarding, and the right to approve, the transaction. These provisions would be specifically enforceable by IAC and the Diller Parties would not be permitted to seek a waiver of these provisions. At the same time, the Diller Parties, if they chose not to support a transaction, could likely block that transaction if they were to maintain a level of voting power similar to that the Diller Parties hold at the present time.

         The Staple Provisions Will Limit the Ability of the Diller Parties to Reduce their Equity Ownership Without Dilution of their Control or Influence over IAC

        Under the terms of New Governance Agreement, the Diller Parties will not be able to dispose of their shares of Class C common stock unless they substantially concurrently dispose of a proportionate number of shares of Class B common stock or convert a proportionate number of shares of Class B common stock to IAC common stock. This provision will ensure that the Class C common stock will not operate as a mechanism for the Diller Parties to reduce the economic interest they currently hold through the shares of Class B common stock without a concomitant reduction in their voting power.

27


Table of Contents

         Other Features of the New Certificate and New Governance Agreement Confer Potential Benefits on the Holders of Common Stock

        The New Certificate contains other features that may benefit holders of common stock, including the Class C Conversion provision, under which the Class C common stock would convert to IAC common stock if in the future the Class B common stock were to represent less than 20% of the combined voting power of all outstanding shares of IAC's capital stock. In addition, the New Governance Agreement contains a Freeze Event provision, under which IAC will not be permitted to issue additional shares of Class C common stock (other than to honor existing obligations) without approval by a special committee of independent and disinterested directors after such time as the Diller Parties no longer hold at least 20% of the combined voting power of all outstanding shares of IAC's capital stock and will eliminate the Consent Rights under the Governance Agreement.

Potential Negative Considerations Relating to the Class C Issuance

        Although the Special Committee and the Board have each unanimously determined that the adoption of the New Certificate, and the potential declaration and payment of the Dividend are advisable and in the best interests of IAC and our stockholders (other than the Diller Parties, as to whom no determination was made), the Special Committee and the Board recognize that proceeding with the Class C Issuance and the Dividend, if it is declared and paid, involves certain other considerations that may be viewed as negative. These considerations include, but are not limited to, the following:

         The Class C Issuance and the Dividend, If It Is Declared and Paid, Could Prolong the Period of Time During Which the Diller Parties Can Exercise a Significant Influence on Most Corporate Matters

        As of the record date for the Annual Meeting, the shares of IAC common stock and Class B common stock owned by the Diller Parties represented approximately 44.2% of our total outstanding voting power and this will not change following the Class C Issuance or the potential Dividend. This concentration of voting power with the Diller Parties limits the ability of all of our stockholders, other than the Diller Parties, to have a significant influence on corporate matters.

        One of the principal purposes of the Class C Issuance and the Dividend, if it is declared and paid, is to permit the use of non-voting common stock to further strategic initiatives, such as acquisitions or financings, or in connection with future equity awards to our employees. In the past, we generally used cash or issued shares of IAC common stock for such purposes, and the issuance of additional shares of IAC common stock would result in voting dilution to all of our stockholders, including the Diller Parties, if those issuances were not offset by repurchases of IAC common stock. Because the shares of Class C common stock have no voting rights (except as provided in the New Certificate or as required by law), the issuance of these shares in the future (if it occurs), will not result in voting dilution.

        The Special Committee and the Board identified as a potential benefit to the Diller Parties and as a potential detriment to the holders of IAC common stock the likelihood that the Class C Issuance and the Dividend would reinforce the control or influence of the Diller Parties over IAC, which otherwise might be diluted over time if IAC were to issue additional shares of IAC common stock or the Diller Parties were to dispose of Class B common stock. In the course of the negotiations between the Special Committee and Mr. Diller, the Special Committee sought to negotiate a variety of features that could potentially mitigate the control or influence of the Diller Parties over IAC in the future, including the Class B Sunset provision and the Class C Sunset provision. Mr. Diller was unwilling to agree to these provisions, although he was willing to agree to the Freeze Event provision.

        The Special Committee and the Board recognized that the voting power held by the Diller Parties has not changed meaningfully since the inception of IAC, and that, in the absence of the Class C Issuance and the Dividend, substantial net issuances of IAC common stock (after taking into account stock buybacks) would be necessary to materially dilute the voting power of the Class B common stock and the control or influence of the Diller Parties. The Special Committee and the Board also

28


Table of Contents

recognized that, in the absence of the Class C Issuance and the Dividend, the Diller Parties would continue to have the benefit of the Class B common stock, with no "sunset" feature tied to Mr. Diller's role with IAC and with the Diller Parties' ability to exercise approximately 44.2% of the voting power of the outstanding capital stock with approximately 7.5% economic ownership. Accordingly, the Diller Parties could nonetheless continue to exercise substantial control or influence over IAC for an indefinite period. Moreover, in the absence of the Class C Issuance and the Dividend, IAC could continue to be inhibited in the use of common equity for acquisitions, given the potential voting dilution and the possible resistance of the Diller Parties to voting dilution.

         Class C Common Stock May Not Be Attractive as Acquisition Currency or for Equity Incentives or May Result in Greater Economic Dilution

        As noted, we may use shares of Class C common stock from time to time as consideration in connection with the acquisition of other companies. It is possible that companies that we are interested in acquiring will not agree to accept shares of Class C common stock because these shares of capital stock carry no voting rights, or we may decide to issue IAC common stock in connection with an acquisition for other reasons. In these instances, if we still wanted to pay for the acquisition with stock consideration, we would have to issue shares of IAC common stock, which would result in both economic and voting dilution to all stockholders, as is the case with our current dual-class structure. Companies that we are interested in acquiring may also refuse to accept shares of Class C common stock if this stock trades at a discount to the shares of IAC common stock, or if the trading market for the shares of Class C common stock is not well developed or suffers from limited liquidity.

        Employees or other service providers may not wish to receive shares of Class C common stock as part of our equity-based compensation programs. This is particularly true if the shares of Class C common stock trade at a discount to the shares of IAC common stock or if the trading market for the shares of Class C common stock is not well developed or suffers from limited liquidity. If employees are not adequately incentivized by receiving shares of Class C common stock, then we might have to issue shares of IAC common stock in order to provide sufficient equity incentives, which would result in both economic and voting dilution to all stockholders, as is the case with our current dual-class structure. Alternatively, we might have to find other ways to incentivize our employees.

        Based on the limited existing precedents involving issuance of non-voting common stock by companies with an existing dual class common stock structure, shares of non-voting common stock may trade at a modest discount to low vote common stock. If the Class C common stock trades at a discount to the IAC common stock, companies that we are interested in acquiring may demand more shares of Class C common stock in exchange for accepting this stock as consideration. The same is true for employees in connection with equity-based compensation. If this occurs, then issuances of Class C common stock may ultimately be more economically dilutive to all of our stockholders than issuances of IAC common stock.

         The Class C Issuance and the Dividend, If It Is Declared and Paid, May Have an Anti-Takeover Effect

        Because the Class C Issuance and the Dividend, if it is declared and paid, may prolong the duration of the Diller Parties' ability to determine the outcome of most matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders, they may have the effect of prolonging the period during which there is a limited likelihood of an unsolicited merger proposal, unsolicited tender offer, or proxy contest for the removal of directors. As a result, the Class C Issuance and the Dividend, if it is declared and paid, may have the effect of prolonging the period during which our stockholders have a limited opportunity to sell their shares at a premium over prevailing market prices and limited ability to replace our directors and management. As previously noted, however, the voting power held by the Diller Parties has not changed meaningfully since the inception of IAC, and, in the absence of the Class C Issuance and the Dividend, substantial net issuances of IAC common stock (after taking into account stock buybacks) would be necessary to materially dilute the voting power of the Class B common stock. In the absence of the Class C Issuance and the Dividend, in any case, the Diller Parties may continue to exercise substantial control or influence over IAC for an indefinite period.

29


Table of Contents

         A Liquid Trading Market for the Class C Common Stock May Not Develop

        We believe that a robust and sufficiently liquid market for the Class C common stock will develop following the Dividend, if it is declared and paid. However, it is possible that such a liquid market will not develop. Even if such a market does develop, there can be no assurance that the Class C common stock will not trade at a discount to the IAC common stock. If a liquid market does not develop or the Class C common stock trades at a discount to the IAC common stock, the utilization of Class C common stock may be limited.

         The Class C Issuance and the Dividend, If It Is Declared and Paid, May Negatively Affect the Decision of Institutional Investors to Invest in Us

        The Class C Issuance and the Dividend, if it is declared and paid, may negatively affect the decision by certain institutional investors to purchase or hold shares of IAC common stock or Class C common stock. The holding of non-voting stock, such as our Class C common stock, may not be permitted by the investment policies of certain institutional investors or may be less attractive to the portfolio managers of certain institutional investors. In addition, significant sales of shares of Class C common stock by investors who receive these shares as part of the Dividend, if it is declared and paid, may occur if these investors are unwilling or unable to hold non-voting shares. These sales could depress trading prices for the Class C capital stock, particularly in the period immediately following the Dividend.

        The IAC common stock is currently included in certain stock indices and the managers of investment funds whose trading is tied to those stock indices may rebalance their holdings to reflect the change in the value of the IAC common stock following the Dividend. Whether the Class C common stock is included in stock indices in the future may also affect trading prices for that stock. For example, it is possible that certain stock indices may only include the IAC common stock, which may reduce the liquidity or trading price of the Class C common stock.

         Potential U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences Upon Certain Dispositions of Class C Common Stock

        We expect that the Class C common stock will not constitute "Section 306 stock" within the meaning of Section 306(c) of the Code. However, if the Class C common stock were determined to constitute Section 306 stock, a stockholder generally would be treated as realizing ordinary income as opposed to capital gain upon certain dispositions (including redemptions) of such Section 306 stock. The rules of Section 306 of the Code are complex, and each stockholder should consult with that stockholder's own tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of the proposed transactions described in this Proxy Statement.

         The Class C Issuance and the Dividend are not Subject to a Majority of the Minority Vote

        Approval of the adoption of the New Certificate requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares of IAC common stock and Class B common stock outstanding and entitled to vote, voting together as a single class. The Special Committee initially sought to condition any Class C Issuance and Dividend on the approval of a majority of the shares of IAC common stock not held by the Diller Parties. Mr. Diller was unwilling to condition the proposed transaction on this "majority of the minority" vote. The Special Committee recognized that a "majority of the minority" vote is not required under applicable law and concluded that, in view of the potential benefits of the Class C Issuance and the Dividend to the holders of IAC common stock discussed above, the Special Committee would not require a "majority of the minority" vote as a condition of the transaction. Because Mr. Diller, members of Mr. Diller's family and trusts for the benefit of Mr. Diller's family held approximately 44.2% of the combined voting power of IAC's outstanding capital stock as of the record date for the Annual Meeting, and intend to vote their shares in favor of

30


Table of Contents

the adoption of the New Certificate, the favorable vote of only approximately 6% of the remaining combined voting power of IAC's outstanding capital stock is required to approve the adoption of the New Certificate, and it is likely that this approval will be obtained.

Second Amended and Restated Governance Agreement

        In connection with the Class C Issuance and the potential Dividend, the Special Committee negotiated the New Governance Agreement that amends and restates the Governance Agreement between IAC and Mr. Diller to be entered into by IAC, Mr. Diller and the Diller Parties. The Governance Agreement was entered into in 2005 by IAC, Liberty Media Corporation ("Liberty") and Mr. Diller. The Governance Agreement was terminated as to Liberty and its affiliates in 2011 in connection with a stock exchange transaction among IAC, Liberty and Mr. Diller. As provided in the New Governance Agreement, upon the date that the Dividend is delivered or paid to IAC's stockholders, the Governance Agreement will terminate and be superseded by the New Governance Agreement. In amending and restating the Governance Agreement, Mr. Diller has agreed to eliminate his Consent Rights with respect to certain matters that are triggered if IAC's ratio of total debt to EBITDA (as defined in the Governance Agreement) equals or exceeds four-to-one over a continuous twelve-month period. An event triggering the effectiveness of the Consent Rights has never occurred. Mr. Diller will retain his demand registration rights with respect to the IAC common stock and the Class C common stock.

         Restrictions on Transfer of Class C Common Stock

        Pursuant to the New Governance Agreement, none of Mr. Diller or his family members and his or their affiliates that are or will become party to the New Governance Agreement may, subject to certain exceptions, sell, assign, transfer, convey, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of (each, a "Transfer") any shares of Class C common stock to a third party if, as a result of such Transfer, the Diller Parties would then beneficially own, in the aggregate, a number of shares of Class C common stock that is less than the Minimum Class C Number. The "Minimum Class C Number" will initially be equal to the number of shares of Class B Common Stock held by the Diller Parties on the date that the Dividend was paid or distributed (the "Initial Class B Shares"). The Minimum Class C Number will be reduced by (i) any Initial Class B Shares transferred to a third party in compliance with the New Governance Agreement or converted into shares of IAC common stock pursuant to the conversion right provided in the New Certificate and (ii) the number of shares of Class C common stock that the Diller Parties have transferred in connection with certain Covered Transactions (as defined below). In the event that, as a result of a Transfer of its Class C common stock, the Diller Parties beneficially own, in the aggregate, a number of shares of Class C common stock that is less than the Minimum Class C Number, the Diller Parties would be required to acquire additional shares of Class C common stock, Transfer a number of shares of Class B common stock to a third party or give irrevocable notice to IAC to convert into shares of IAC common stock a number of shares of Class B common stock such that after such acquisition, Transfer or conversion, the Diller Parties beneficially own, in the aggregate, shares of Class C common stock at least equivalent to the Minimum Class C Number.

        Certain transfers of shares of Class C common stock by the Diller Parties will be exempted from these restrictions, including:

         Equal Treatment in Covered Transactions

        The New Governance Agreement also provides that neither IAC nor any Diller Party will enter into or consummate a "Covered Transaction" unless it includes the same type and amount of consideration (or mix of consideration) or an offer to receive the same type and amount of consideration (or mix of consideration) to all holders of IAC common stock, Class B common stock, and Class C common stock. The following constitute a "Covered Transaction":

32


Table of Contents

        However, IAC and the Diller Parties may enter into and consummate Covered Transactions that provide different or disproportionate consideration to holders of shares of IAC common stock, Class B common stock, and Class C common stock in the following circumstances:

        In any proposed Covered Transaction where it is proposed that holders of IAC common stock or Class C common stock receive consideration different than the holders of shares of any other class of IAC capital stock (other than as part of a Permitted Reorganization), IAC would provide notice of the transaction to the Board who will form a Capital Stock Committee. The Capital Stock Committee would have the right to participate in any discussions and negotiations with respect to and recommend approval (or rejection) of the transaction and the Board will not approve such transaction without the recommendation of the Capital Stock Committee. The Diller Parties may not request or seek a waiver of the equal treatment provision.

         Issuance Suspension Event

        The New Governance Agreement also provides that, if, at any time, Mr. Diller, his family members, and his and their respective affiliates cease to own, in the aggregate, at least 20% of the total voting power of IAC's outstanding securities (an "Issuance Suspension Event"), IAC will not issue or agree to issue any new shares of Class C common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Class C common stock without the prior approval of the Board upon the recommendation of the Capital Stock Committee. However, the approval of the Board will not be required for any issuances of shares of Class C common stock made in connection with the exercise,

33


Table of Contents

exchange or conversion of securities outstanding immediately prior to such Issuance Suspension Event or pursuant to other contractual obligations of IAC or its subsidiaries in effect immediately prior to such Issuance Suspension Event.

         Registration Rights

        The Diller Parties will be entitled to customary, transferable registration rights with respect to IAC common stock and Class C common stock beneficially owned by them. The Diller Parties will be entitled to three demand registration rights. IAC will pay the costs associated with such registrations (other than underwriting discounts, fees and commissions). IAC will not be required to register shares of IAC common stock and/or Class C common stock if the Diller Parties could sell the shares in quantities proposed to be sold at such time in one transaction under Rule 144 of the Securities Act or under another comparable exemption from registration.

         Amendment; Waiver

        The New Governance Agreement may only be amended or waived with the approval of Mr. Diller, or, following his death, by the Diller Parties owning, in the aggregate, a majority of the Class B common stock collectively owned by all Diller Parties at such time, and the Capital Stock Committee. However, any amendment to the New Governance Agreement that impacts the rights of the holders of IAC common stock or Class C common stock must be approved by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the IAC common stock and Class C common stock, respectively. Any such amendment that impacts the rights of the holders of IAC common stock and Class C common stock equally and identically must be approved by the holders of IAC common stock and Class C common stock, voting together as a single class.

        IAC has also agreed to reimburse the Diller Parties for their reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation and consummation of the transactions contemplated by the New Governance Agreement.

        The foregoing description of the New Governance Agreement in this Proxy Statement is qualified by reference to, and should be read in conjunction with, the full text of the New Governance Agreement, which is attached to this Proxy Statement as Appendix A-3.

Description of Capital Stock

        The New Certificate provides that our authorized capital stock will consist of 1,600,000,000 shares of IAC common stock, $0.001 par value per share; 400,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, $0.001 par value per share; 600,000,000 shares of Class C common stock, $0.001 par value per share; and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share. A description of the material terms and provisions of the New Certificate affecting the rights of holders of our capital stock is set forth below. The description is intended as a summary, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of our New Certificate which is attached to this Proxy Statement as Appendix A-1. For convenience of reference, a copy of the New Certificate showing the changes from the Current Certificate, with deleted text shown in strikethrough and added or moved text shown as underlined, is attached to this Proxy Statement as Appendix A-2.

         Dividend Rights

        Subject to preferences that may apply to shares of preferred stock outstanding at the time, holders of outstanding shares of the IAC common stock, Class B common stock, and Class C common stock are entitled to share equally and identically, on a per share basis, in any dividends out of funds legally available if the Board, in its discretion, determines to declare and pay dividends and only then at the times and in the amounts that the Board may determine.

34


Table of Contents

         Voting Rights

        The holders of the Class B common stock are entitled to ten votes per share, holders of IAC common stock are entitled to one vote per share, and holders of the Class C common stock have no voting rights (except as provided in the New Certificate, the New Governance Agreement or as provided by law). Notwithstanding the foregoing, holders of the Class C common stock are entitled to notice of any meetings of IAC stockholders at which a vote of the Class C common stock will be held. The holders of IAC common stock and Class B common stock vote together as a single class, unless otherwise provided in the New Certificate or as required by law.

        Delaware law could require the holders of IAC common stock, Class B common stock or Class C common stock to vote separately as a single class in the following circumstances:

        As permitted by Delaware law and as set forth in the New Certificate, the holders of shares of Class C common stock do not have the right to vote separately as a single class if the number of authorized shares of Class C common stock is increased or decreased. Rather, the number of authorized shares of Class C common stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all the then-outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote thereon.

        We have not previously provided for cumulative voting for the election of directors, and cumulative voting is not provided for in the New Certificate.

         No Preemptive or Similar Rights

        Our capital stock is not entitled to preemptive rights and is not subject to conversion, redemption or sinking fund provisions.

         Right to Receive Liquidation Distributions

        Upon the dissolution, liquidation, or winding-up of IAC, the assets legally available for distribution to our stockholders are distributable ratably among the holders of IAC common stock and Class B common stock, subject to prior satisfaction of all outstanding debt and liabilities and the preferential rights and payment of liquidation preferences, if any, on any outstanding shares of preferred stock. Immediately prior to the earlier of (i) any distribution of our assets in connection with a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or (ii) any record date established to determine the holders of IAC common stock and Class B common stock entitled to receive such distribution, each share of Class C common stock will automatically be converted into one fully paid and nonassessable share of IAC common stock.

         Conversion

        Shares of IAC common stock are not convertible into any other shares of our capital stock.

        Each share of Class B common stock is convertible at any time at the option of the holder into one share of IAC common stock upon written notice to the Corporate Secretary of IAC. Once a share of Class B common stock is converted into IAC common stock, such share of Class B common stock will not be reissued.

35


Table of Contents

        All issued and outstanding shares of Class C common stock will automatically convert into an equal number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of IAC common stock in the following circumstances:

        Once converted into IAC common stock, the Class C common stock will not be reissued.

         Preferred Stock

        The Board will continue to have the authority, without approval of the stockholders, to issue up to a total of 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series. The Board may establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each series and to fix the designation, powers, preferences, and rights of the shares of each series and any of its qualifications, limitations or restrictions. The Board also can increase or decrease the number of shares of any series, but not below the number of shares of that series then outstanding, without any further vote or action by our stockholders. The Board may authorize the issuance of preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our capital stock. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could, among other things, have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of IAC and may adversely affect the market price of the IAC common stock and, following the Dividend, the Class C common stock, and the voting and other rights of the holders of our capital stock. We have no current plan to issue any shares of preferred stock.

         Transferability and Listing

        Like shares of IAC common stock, shares of Class C common stock will be freely transferable. See "Certain Other Effects of the Class C Issuance—Securities Laws" below. The shares of IAC common stock are currently listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market. If the Dividend is declared by the Board, we will file appropriate applications and notices with The Nasdaq Stock Market to list the shares of Class C common stock. We will also register the Class C common stock with the SEC under the Exchange Act. The listing of the shares of Class C common stock on The Nasdaq Stock Market is subject to the approval of The Nasdaq Stock Market of such listing applications and notices, which will be conditioned upon our satisfaction of certain listing requirements. We believe that we will be able to satisfy these listing requirements.

Certain Other Effects of the Class C Issuance

         Effect on Relative Voting Power and Equity Interest

        If the Dividend is declared and paid, there will be no effect on the relative voting power or equity interest of each holder of shares of IAC common stock or Class B common stock. Following the declaration and payment of the Dividend, holders of shares of IAC common stock or Class B common stock who sell their shares of Class C capital stock will not lose any voting power, but their relative equity interest in IAC will decrease as a result of such sale. Conversely, stockholders who purchase shares of Class C common stock after the Dividend will increase their relative equity interest in us, but will not gain any additional voting power (or any voting power, if they do not otherwise own shares of IAC common stock or Class B common stock).

36


Table of Contents

         Effect on Market Price

        As of the close of business on November     , 2016, the official closing price of a share of IAC common stock was $              as reported on The Nasdaq Stock Market.

        Assuming that the Dividend is declared and paid, we expect the market price of shares of Class C common stock to be approximately equal to the market price of shares of IAC common stock (as such price is adjusted as a result of the Dividend).

        The trading prices for shares of IAC common stock and Class C common stock may be affected by the relative voting rights between these two classes of stock. Because the IAC common stock carries voting rights, it is possible that it could trade at a premium compared to the Class C common stock.

        Furthermore, the trading price of shares of IAC common stock and Class C common stock will continue to depend on many factors, including our future performance, the relative trading liquidity and dynamics of the IAC common stock and the Class C common stock, general market conditions, and conditions relating to companies in businesses and industries similar to us. Accordingly, we cannot predict the prices at which shares of IAC common stock and Class C common stock will trade following the Class C Issuance, just as we could not predict the price at which shares of IAC common stock would trade absent the Class C Issuance and the potential Dividend.

        Following the Class C Issuance, there will continue to be no trading market for the Class B common stock.

         Effect on Trading Market and Potential Reduced Relative Liquidity of Shares of IAC Common Stock

        To minimize dilution of voting power to existing stockholders, we are more likely to issue shares of Class C common stock than shares of IAC common stock in the future to further strategic initiatives (such as the acquisition of complementary businesses) and raise equity capital, finance acquisitions, or issue equity awards to our employees and service providers. It is possible that following the Dividend, if it is declared and paid, some portion of our stockholders will sell their shares of Class C common stock but retain their shares of IAC common stock or Class B common stock (subject to the terms of the New Governance Agreement in the case of Mr. Diller and his affiliates) in order to monetize a portion of their investment in us while retaining their relative voting power. Any such issuance of additional shares of Class C common stock by us or dispositions of shares of Class C common stock by significant or other stockholders may serve to further increase market activity in the shares of Class C common stock relative to the shares of IAC common stock.

         Effect on Percentage Interest

        The percentage interest of each stockholder in our total equity will not be changed by the Class C Issuance or the Dividend, if it is declared and paid.

         Effect on Equity-Based Incentive Plans and Outstanding Equity Awards

        Pursuant to the provision contained in the 2013 Plan, the Compensation and Human Resources Committee currently intends to exercise its administration responsibilities to provide that, following the payment of the potential Dividend, all equity awards outstanding will be equitably adjusted to reflect the Class C Issuance as follows: (i) each stock option to purchase a share of IAC common stock shall be adjusted so that such stock option represents the right to purchase one share of IAC common stock and one share of Class C common stock, with the original exercise price of the stock option shall be adjusted proportionately between the share of IAC common stock and the share of Class C common stock and (ii) each RSU representing the right to receive a share of IAC common stock shall be adjusted so that it represents the right to receive one share of IAC common stock and one share of Class C common stock upon settlement. The outstanding stock options and RSUs, adjusted as

37


Table of Contents

described in the preceding sentence, will in all other respects continue to be subject to the terms and conditions applicable to them prior to the adjustment. In addition, as described in Proposal 4, we are also asking IAC stockholders to approve the amendment and restatement of the 2013 Plan to accommodate IAC's new capital structure and make certain other amendments, the approval of which is not cross-conditioned upon the approval by our stockholders of the two proposals comprising Proposal 3.

         Effect on Preferred Stock

        Neither the New Certificate nor the Dividend, if it is declared and paid, will have any effect on the number of authorized shares of our preferred stock or the rights, preferences, and privileges of, and restrictions on, the preferred stock. Currently, no shares of preferred stock are issued or outstanding and we have no current plan to issue any shares of preferred stock.

         Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

        We expect that, in general, for U.S. federal income tax purposes: (i) neither the Class C Issuance nor the Dividend, if it is declared and paid, will be taxable to our stockholders; (ii) the Class C common stock will not constitute "Section 306 stock" within the meaning of Section 306(c) of the Code; (iii) the tax basis of each share of IAC common stock and Class B common stock, as applicable, with respect to which Class C common stock is distributed in the Dividend, if declared and paid, will be apportioned between such share of IAC common stock or Class B common stock, on the one hand, and the Class C common stock received in the Dividend, on the other hand, in proportion to the fair market values of such shares on the date of the Dividend; (iv) if the shares of IAC common stock and Class B common stock with respect to which Class C common stock is distributed in the Dividend, if declared and paid, were held as capital asset, the holding period for each share of Class C common stock will include such stockholder's holding period for the share of common stock or Class B common stock, as applicable, with respect to which the Class C common stock is distributed; and (v) no gain or loss will be recognized on any subsequent conversion of Class C common stock into shares of IAC common stock. Gain or loss would be recognized on the subsequent disposition of shares of Class C common stock in a taxable transaction. Further, while we expect that the Class C common stock will not constitute Section 306 stock, if the Class C common stock were determined to constitute Section 306 stock, a stockholder generally would be treated as realizing ordinary income as opposed to capital gain upon certain dispositions (including redemptions) of such Section 306 stock. All stockholders should consult their own tax advisers regarding the particular tax consequences to them of the receipt, ownership and disposition of shares of Class C common stock.

         Securities Laws

        The distribution of shares of Class C common stock as a stock dividend, if it is declared and paid, will not involve a "sale" of a security under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or Rule 145 thereunder. Consequently, we are not required to register, and will not register, the Class C common stock pursuant to the Securities Act.

        Because the Class C Issuance and the Dividend, if it is declared and paid, do not constitute a "sale" of Class C common stock pursuant to the Securities Act, stockholders will not be deemed to have purchased such shares separately from the IAC common stock or Class B common stock to which such shares of Class C common stock relate pursuant to the Securities Act and Rule 144 thereunder. Shares of IAC common stock held at the time of the effectiveness of the New Certificate and shares of Class C common stock (whether in respect of shares of IAC common stock or Class B common stock) received in the Dividend, if it is declared and paid, other than any such shares held by our "affiliates" within the meaning of the Securities Act, may be offered for sale and sold in the same manner as the IAC common stock prior to the Class C Issuance without registration pursuant to the Securities Act (or

38


Table of Contents

in the case of equity awards, pursuant to registration statements that we will file under the Securities Act). Our affiliates will continue to be subject to the restrictions specified in Rule 144 of the Securities Act.

        We will also register the Class C common stock with the SEC under the Exchange Act.

         Nasdaq Criteria

        The shares of IAC common stock are currently traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market and will continue to be traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market following the Class C Issuance and the Dividend, if it is declared and paid.

        An application will be made to trade the shares of Class C common stock on The Nasdaq Stock Market. The listing of the shares of Class C common stock on The Nasdaq Stock Market is subject to the approval of The Nasdaq Stock Market of such listing applications and notices, which will be conditioned upon our satisfaction of certain listing requirements. We believe that we will be able to satisfy these listing requirements.

Interest of Certain Persons

        As of the record date for the Annual Meeting, Mr. Diller beneficially owned 5,927,921 shares of IAC common stock (including shares of Class B common stock, which are convertible on a one-for-one basis into shares of IAC common stock, but excluding 550,000 shares of common stock underlying vested options) and 5,789,499 shares of Class B common stock. Of such shares, Ms. von Furstenberg, Mr. Diller's spouse, has sole voting power over 5,248,598 shares of Class B common stock and 136,711 shares of IAC common stock and Mr. Alexander von Furstenberg, the child of Ms. von Furstenberg, has sole investment and voting power over 540,901 shares of Class B common stock. In addition, Mr. von Furstenberg directly owned 54,985 shares of IAC common stock as of the record date. The shares owned by the Diller Parties collectively represent 44.2% of our total outstanding voting power.

        After the Class C Issuance and the Dividend, if it is declared and paid, Mr. Diller and Mr. von Furstenberg will have the same beneficial ownership of shares of IAC common stock and Class B common stock. If the Dividend is declared and paid, they will also beneficially own one share of Class C common stock for each outstanding IAC common stock and Class B common stock beneficially owned by them on the record date for the Dividend. If the record date of the Dividend were to have been on the same day as the record date for the Annual Meeting, Mr. Diller would beneficially own 5,927,921 shares of Class C common stock (excluding shares of Class C common stock underlying vested stock options upon the adjustment to outstanding stock options as a result of the Dividend) and Mr. von Furstenberg would directly own 54,985 shares of Class C common stock, collectively representing approximately 7.5% of the shares of Class C common stock to be issued in the Dividend.

        After the Class C Issuance and the Dividend, if it is declared and paid, pursuant to the New Governance Agreement, Mr. Diller will lose his right to consent to limited matters in the event that IAC's ratio of total debt to EBITDA (as defined in the existing amended and restated governance agreement between IAC and Mr. Diller) equals or exceeds four-to-one over a continuous twelve-month period.

        Mr. Diller's ability to sell any shares of Class C common stock received by him, his family members (including Mr. von Furstenberg) or his or their affiliates in the Dividend, if declared and paid, is subject to the terms of the New Governance Agreement. See "Second Amended and Restated Governance Agreement" above.

        Certain members of the Board and management other than Mr. Diller and Mr. von Furstenberg held shares of IAC common stock representing in the aggregate less than 1% of our total outstanding voting power as of the record date for the Annual Meeting. If the Dividend is declared and paid, these

39


Table of Contents

individuals will receive shares of Class C common stock. They will be free to sell any or all of the shares of Class C common stock that they receive in the Dividend, if it is declared and paid. Accordingly, these individuals would be able to achieve liquidity for a portion of their investment in our capital stock without suffering any loss of voting power.

        Mr. Diller and Mr. von Furstenberg are members of the Board.

Stockholder Information

        Following both the Class C Issuance and the Dividend, if it is declared and paid, we will continue to deliver to the holders of shares of IAC common stock and Class B common stock, proxy statements, annual reports and other information and will deliver the same proxy statements, annual reports and other information to the holders of Class C common stock for any meetings of stockholders at which a vote of the holders of the Class C common stock will take place.


PROPOSAL 4—APPROVAL OF THE AMENDED AND RESTATED
2013 STOCK AND ANNUAL INCENTIVE PLAN

Proposal and Required Vote

        Our Board adopted the IAC/InterActiveCorp Amended and Restated 2013 Stock and Annual Incentive Plan (the "Amended and Restated 2013 Plan") on November 1, 2016, subject to approval by our stockholders and the declaration and payment of the Dividend described under "Proposal 3—Approval of the Adoption of IAC's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation."

        Approval of the Amended and Restated 2013 Plan requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares of IAC capital stock present in person or represented by proxy and voting together.

        The Board recommends that our stockholders vote FOR the approval of the Amended and Restated 2013 Stock Plan Proposal.

Overview

        In connection with the proposed changes to our certificate of incorporation, as discussed above under Proposal 3, we are proposing to amend and restate the 2013 Plan, to provide that following the date of the payment of the proposed Dividend, the shares reserved and available for issuance under the Amended and Restated 2013 Plan will include shares of IAC common stock and shares of our new Class C common stock, as further described below.

        Any award that is outstanding under the Amended and Restated 2013 Plan on the date of the payment of the Dividend will be adjusted as described in Proposal 3. See "Proposal 3—Approval of the Adoption of IAC's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation—Certain Other Effects of the Class C Issuance—Effect on Equity-Based Incentive Plans and Outstanding Equity Awards." For a discussion of the proposed changes to our certificate of incorporation and the differences between IAC common stock and our Class C common stock and the treatment of outstanding awards under the 2013 Plan, please see "Proposal 3—Approval of the Adoption of IAC's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation."

        If our stockholders do not approve Proposal 4 or if the Company does not declare and pay the Dividend, the 2013 Plan will remain in effect as previously approved by our stockholders.

        The purpose of the Amended and Restated 2013 Plan is to give the Company a competitive advantage in attracting, retaining and motivating officers and employees and to provide them with incentives that are directly linked to the future growth and profitability of IAC and its businesses.

Stockholders previously approved the Original 2013 Plan on June 26, 2013. The only differences between the 2013 Plan and the Amended and Restated 2013 Plan are as follows:

*
Under the Amended and Restated 2013 Plan, the authorized shares will not be denominated by class. Issuances of any shares under the plan, whether shares of IAC common stock or shares of Class C common stock, will reduce the authorized shares under the plan on a one for one basis. If our stockholders approve the Amended and Restated 2013 Plan, the Company will have the authority to grant awards denominated in shares of IAC common stock or shares of Class C common stock.

        Equity compensation is a critical component of IAC's long-term compensation philosophy. We believe that providing employees with an equity stake in our business is essential to create compensation opportunities that can compete, on a risk-adjusted basis, with entrepreneurial employment alternatives. We believe that ownership shapes behavior, and that by providing a meaningful part of compensation in the form of equity awards, we properly align our employees' incentives with those of our stockholders. The Amended and Restated 2013 Plan is designed to reinforce this alignment.

        If the Amended and Restated 2013 Plan is approved by our stockholders, it will allow awards under the Amended and Restated 2013 Plan that are intended to qualify as "performance-based compensation" under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), to be tax-deductible. Section 162(m) of the Code generally places a $1 million annual limit on a Company's tax deduction for compensation paid to certain senior executives, other than compensation that satisfies the applicable requirements for a performance-based compensation exception. To qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code, the compensation must (among other requirements) be subject to attainment of performance goals that have been disclosed to stockholders and approved by a majority stockholder vote. We are asking stockholders to approve the material terms of the performance goals under the Amended and Restated 2013 Plan so that the Company may make awards that qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m), and thus, would be tax deductible. For purposes of Section 162(m), the material terms of the performance goals requiring stockholder approval include the following:

        By approving the Amended and Restated 2013 Plan, our stockholders will be approving, among other things, the eligibility requirements, performance goals and limits on various cash and stock awards contained therein for purposes of Section 162(m).

Summary of Share Usage Under Existing Equity Compensation Plans

        The following table includes information regarding outstanding IAC equity awards, shares of IAC common stock available for future equity award grants under the Company's existing omnibus stock and annual incentive plans and total shares of IAC common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2016:

Total shares underlying outstanding options

  7.9 million

Weighted average exercise price of outstanding options

  $51.81

Weighted average remaining contractual life of outstanding options

  6.9 years

Total shares underlying outstanding restricted stock units ("RSUs") (including performance-based RSUs assuming the maximum potential payout)

  1.1 million

Total shares available for grant(1)

  7.6 million

Total shares of IAC common stock outstanding(2)

  73.4 million

(1)
Reflects approximately 9.0 million shares that remain available for future issuance under the Company's active omnibus stock and annual incentive plans less approximately 1.4 million shares that have been reserved and may be issuable upon the settlement of subsidiary-level phantom equity awards (without giving effect to the withholding of shares to cover taxes) that relate to subsidiaries of IAC (excluding subsidiaries of Match Group, Inc.) based on the estimated value of such subsidiaries as of September 30, 2016.

(2)
Since August 2008, the Company has repurchased approximately 109.9 million shares of its common stock. Accordingly, the potential dilutive impact of the equity awards described in the table above would be less but for this significant stock repurchase activity.

        Based on a review of the Company's historical practices, the Board believes that the amounts available under the Amended and Restated 2013 Plan will be sufficient to cover equity awards for employees for at least the next two to three years. In 2013, 2014 and 2015, the number of shares of common stock underlying equity awards granted (including stock options and RSUs) was approximately 1.2 million shares, 1.0 million shares and 3.3 million shares, respectively. The Board expects to continue to grant awards under the Amended and Restated 2013 Plan consistent with the Company's historical share utilization rates.

Summary of Terms of the Amended and Restated 2013 Plan

        The principal features of the Amended and Restated 2013 Plan are described below. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended and Restated 2013 Plan, a copy of which is attached as Appendix B-1 to this Proxy Statement. For convenience of reference, Appendix B-2 to this proxy statement shows the changes from the 2013 Plan with deleted text shown in strikethrough and added or moved text shown in underline.

        Administration.    The Amended and Restated 2013 Plan will be administered by the Compensation and Human Resources Committee or such other committee of the Board as the Board may from time to time designate (for purposes of this summary, the "Committee"). Among other things, the Committee has the authority to select individuals to whom awards may be granted, to determine the types of awards (as well as the number and class of shares of common stock to be covered by each such award) and to determine the terms and conditions of any such awards.

        Term.    Awards under the Amended and Restated 2013 Plan may be made for ten years following the date that stockholders approve the Amended and Restated 2013 Plan at the Annual Meeting.

        Eligibility.    Awards may be granted under the Amended and Restated 2013 Plan to current or prospective officers, employees, directors and consultants of IAC and its subsidiaries and affiliates. As of September 30, 2016, approximately 5,700 individuals were eligible to participate in the Amended and Restated 2013 Plan. During 2015, a total of 163 individuals received IAC equity awards under the Company's existing equity compensation plans.

        Shares Subject to the Amended and Restated 2013 Plan.    The Amended and Restated 2013 Plan provides that the aggregate number of shares of IAC common stock or our Class C common stock that may be subject to awards under the Amended and Restated 2013 Plan cannot exceed 10,000,000. No participant may be granted, in each case during any calendar year, performance-based awards (other than stock options and SARs) intended to qualify under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") covering in excess of 2,000,000 shares or stock options and SARs covering in excess of 3,000,000 shares. The maximum number of shares that may be granted pursuant to incentive stock options is 10,000,000. The foregoing share limits are subject to adjustment in certain circumstances to prevent dilution or enlargement. Upon the declaration and payment of the Dividend, each of the limits described above in this paragraph will be adjusted. For example, if a dividend of one share of Class C common stock for each share of common stock and Class B common stock is declared and paid, then each of the limits described in this paragraph will be doubled. If a dividend of two shares of Class C common stock for each share of common stock and Class B common stock is declared and paid, then each of the limits described in this paragraph will be tripled. If a dividend of three shares of Class C common stock for each share of common stock and Class B common stock is declared and paid, then each of the limits described in this paragraph will be quadrupled.

        The Company has already granted IAC equity awards with respect to approximately 1.8 million shares of common stock under the 2013 Plan, and these grants will count against the 10,000,000 share limit, to the extent that shares are actually delivered to satisfy the awards. New awards granted under the Amended and Restated 2013 Plan may be denominated in shares of IAC common stock (having one vote per share) or shares of Class C common stock (having no votes per share). Issuances of any shares under the plan, whether shares of IAC common stock or Class C common stock, will reduce the authorized shares under the plan on a one for one basis. The Company may make some, all or none of the new grants under the Amended and Restated 2013 Plan in the form of awards denominated in shares of common stock and the Company may make some, all or none of the new grants under the Amended and Restated 2013 Plan in the form of awards denominated in shares of Class C common stock.

        The shares subject to grant under the Amended and Restated 2013 Plan are to be made available from authorized but unissued shares or from treasury shares, as determined from time to time by the Board. To the extent that any award is forfeited or any option or SAR terminates, expires or lapses without being exercised or any award is settled for cash, the shares underlying such awards will again be available for awards under the Amended and Restated 2013 Plan. If the exercise price of any option and/or the tax withholding obligations relating to any award are satisfied by delivering shares (by either actual delivery or by attestation), only the number of shares issued net of the shares delivered or attested to will be deemed delivered for purposes of the limits in the plan. To the extent any shares subject to an award are withheld to satisfy the exercise price (in the case of an option) and/or the tax withholding obligations relating to such award, such shares are not deemed to have been delivered for purposes of the limits set forth in the plan.

        As indicated above, several types of stock grants can be made under the Amended and Restated 2013 Plan. A summary of these grants is set forth below.

        Stock Options and SARs.    Stock options granted under the Amended and Restated 2013 Plan can either be incentive stock options ("ISOs") or nonqualified stock options. SARs granted under the Amended and Restated 2013 Plan can be granted either alone or in tandem with a stock option. The exercise price of options and SARs cannot be less than 100% of the fair market value of the stock underlying the options or SARs on the grant date. The closing price of our common stock, as reported on the NASDAQ Stock Market, on November     , 2016 was $              per share. Stock options and SARs cannot be repriced without stockholder approval. Optionees may pay the exercise price in cash or, if approved by the Committee, in shares (valued at their fair market value on the date of exercise)

43


Table of Contents

or a combination thereof, or by way of a "cashless exercise" through a broker approved by the Company or by withholding shares otherwise receivable on exercise.

        The term of options and SARs are as determined by the Committee, but a stock option may not have a term longer than ten years from the date of grant. The Committee determines the vesting and exercise schedule of options and SARs, which the Committee may waive or accelerate at any time, and the extent to which they will be exercisable after the award holder's employment terminates. Generally, unvested options and SARs terminate upon the termination of employment, and vested options and SARs will remain exercisable for one year after the award holder's death, disability or retirement and 90 days after the award holder's termination for any other reason. Vested options and SARs also terminate upon the optionee's termination for cause. Stock options and SARs are transferable only by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order or, in the case of nonqualified stock options or SARs, as otherwise expressly permitted by the Committee, including, if so permitted, pursuant to a transfer to the participant's family members or to a charitable organization, whether directly or indirectly or by means of a trust or partnership or otherwise.

        Restricted Stock.    The Amended and Restated 2013 Plan provides for the award of shares that are subject to forfeiture and restrictions on transferability as set forth in the Amended and Restated 2013 Plan and as may be otherwise determined by the Committee. Except for these restrictions and any others imposed by the Committee, upon the grant of restricted stock, the recipient will have rights of a stockholder with respect to the restricted stock, including the right to vote the restricted stock and to receive all dividends and other distributions paid or made with respect to the restricted stock on such terms as will be set forth in the applicable award agreement. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee: (i) cash dividends on the shares that are the subject of the restricted stock award shall be automatically reinvested in additional restricted stock, held subject to the vesting of the underlying restricted stock, and (ii) dividends payable in shares shall be paid in the form of additional restricted stock, held subject to the vesting of the underlying restricted stock. Restricted stock granted under the Amended and Restated 2013 Plan may or may not be subject to performance conditions. During the restriction period set by the Committee, the recipient may not sell, transfer, pledge, exchange or otherwise encumber the restricted stock.

        RSUs.    The Amended and Restated 2013 Plan authorizes the committee to grant RSUs. RSUs are awards denominated in shares that will be settled, subject to the terms and conditions of the RSUs, in an amount in cash, shares or both, based upon the fair market value of a specified number of shares. RSUs are not actual shares and do not entitle the recipients to the rights of a stockholder. The award agreement for RSUs will specify whether, to what extent and on what terms and conditions the applicable participant will be entitled to receive current or delayed payments of cash, shares or other property corresponding to the dividends payable on the shares. RSUs granted under the Amended and Restated 2013 Plan may or may not be subject to performance conditions. The recipient may not sell, transfer, pledge or otherwise encumber RSUs granted under the Amended and Restated 2013 Plan prior to their vesting.

        Other Stock-Based Awards.    Other awards of shares and other awards that are valued in whole or in part by reference to, or are otherwise based on, shares, including unrestricted stock, dividend equivalents and convertible debentures, may be granted under the Amended and Restated 2013 Plan.

        Cash-Based Awards.    Cash-based awards may be granted under the Amended and Restated 2013 Plan. No participant may be granted a cash-based award that has an aggregate maximum payment value in any calendar year in excess of $10.0 million if the award is intended to qualify as tax-deductible performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code.

        Performance Goals.    The Amended and Restated 2013 Plan provides that performance goals may be established by the Committee in connection with the grant of any award under the Amended and Restated 2013 Plan. In the case of an award intended to qualify for the performance-based

44


Table of Contents

compensation exception of Section 162(m) of the Code, such goals will be based on the attainment of specified levels of one or more of the following measures: specified levels of earnings per share from continuing operations, net profit after tax, EBITDA, EBITA, gross profit, cash generation, unit volume, market share, sales, asset quality, earnings per share, operating income, revenues, return on assets, return on operating assets, return on equity, profits, total stockholder return (measured in terms of stock price appreciation and/or dividend growth), cost saving levels, marketing- spending efficiency, core non-interest income, change in working capital, return on capital, and/or stock price, with respect to the Company or any subsidiary, affiliate, division or department of the Company.

        Change in Control.    Unless otherwise provided by the Committee in an award agreement or otherwise, in the event that, during the two-year period following a change in control, a participant's employment is terminated by IAC, other than for cause or disability, or a participant resigns for good reason:

        The Committee or Board may provide for different treatment in the event of a change in control, including vesting of awards upon a change in control.

        Amendment and Discontinuance.    The Amended and Restated 2013 Plan may be amended, altered or discontinued by the Board, but no amendment, alteration or discontinuance may impair the rights of an optionee under an option or a recipient of a SAR, restricted stock award, RSU award or cash-based award previously granted without the consent of the optionee or recipient. Amendments to the Amended and Restated 2013 Plan will require stockholder approval to the extent such approval is required by law or the listing standards of the applicable exchange. The Amended and Restated 2013 Plan will terminate on the ten year anniversary of the later of: (i) stockholder approval of the plan and (ii) payment of the Dividend.

Amended and Restated 2013 Plan Benefits

        All awards made under the Amended and Restated 2013 Plan are discretionary. Therefore, the benefits and amounts that will be received or allocated under the Amended and Restated 2013 Plan are not determinable at this time. The following table below reflects equity-based awards granted in 2015 for the named executive officers as a group, all other employees as a group and all non-employee directors as a group.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

        The following is a summary of certain federal income tax consequences of awards made under the Amended and Restated 2013 Plan based upon the laws in effect as of the date of this Proxy Statement. The discussion is general in nature and does not take into account a number of considerations which may apply in light of the circumstances of a particular participant under the Amended and Restated 2013 Plan. The income tax consequences under applicable state and local tax laws may not be the same as under federal income tax laws.

        Non-Qualified Stock Options.    A participant will not recognize taxable income when a non-qualified stock option is granted, and we will not be entitled to a tax deduction at such time. A participant will recognize compensation taxable as ordinary income (and subject to income tax withholding in the case of employees) upon the exercise of a non-qualified stock option equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares purchased over their exercise price, and we generally will be entitled to a corresponding deduction.

        Incentive Stock Options.    A participant will not recognize taxable income when an incentive stock option is granted. A participant will not recognize taxable income (except for purposes of the alternative minimum tax) upon the exercise of an incentive stock option. If the shares acquired upon the exercise of an incentive stock option are held for the longer of two years from the date the stock

option was granted and one year from the date the shares were transferred, any gain or loss arising from a subsequent disposition of such shares will be taxed as long-term capital gain or loss, and we will not be entitled to any deduction. If, however, such shares are disposed of within such two- or one-year periods, then in the year of such disposition the participant will recognize compensation taxable as ordinary income equal to the excess of the lesser of the amount realized upon such disposition and the fair market value of such shares on the date of exercise over the exercise price, and we generally will be entitled to a corresponding deduction. The excess of the amount realized through the disposition date over the fair market value of the stock on the exercise date will be treated as capital gain.

        SARs.    A participant will not recognize taxable income when a SAR is granted, and we will not be entitled to a tax deduction at such time. Upon the exercise of a SAR, a participant will recognize compensation taxable as ordinary income (and subject to income tax withholding in the case of employees) equal to the fair market value of any shares delivered and the amount of cash paid by us, and we generally will be entitled to a corresponding deduction.

        Restricted Stock.    A participant will not recognize taxable income at the time shares of restricted stock are granted, and we will not be entitled to a tax deduction at such time, unless the participant makes an election under Section 83(b) of the Code to be taxed at grant. If such an election is made, the participant will recognize compensation taxable as ordinary income (and subject to income tax withholding in the case of employees) at the time of the grant equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares at such time over the amount, if any, paid for such shares. If such an election is not made, the participant will recognize compensation taxable as ordinary income (and subject to income tax withholding in the case of employees) at the time the restrictions lapse in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares at such time over the amount, if any, paid for such shares. The Company is entitled to a corresponding deduction at the time the ordinary income is recognized by the participant, except to the extent the deduction limits of Section 162(m) of the Code apply. In addition, a participant receiving dividends with respect to restricted stock for which the above-described election has not been made and prior to the time the restrictions lapse will recognize compensation taxable as ordinary income (and subject to income tax withholding in the case of employees), rather than dividend income. The Company will be entitled to a corresponding deduction, except to the extent the deduction limits of Section 162(m) of the Code apply.

        Restricted Stock Units.    A participant will not recognize taxable income when restricted stock units are granted, and we will not be entitled to a tax deduction at such time. A participant will recognize compensation taxable as ordinary income (and subject to income tax withholding in the case of employees) at the time of settlement of the award equal to the fair market value of any shares delivered and the amount of cash paid by us, and we will be entitled to a corresponding deduction, except to the extent the deduction limits of Section 162(m) of the Code apply.

        Section 162(m) Limitations.    As explained above, Section 162(m) of the Code generally places a $1 million annual limit on a Company's tax deduction for compensation paid to certain senior executives, other than compensation that qualifies as "performance-based compensation," as defined under Section 162(m) of the Code. The Amended and Restated 2013 Plan is designed so that stock options and SARs qualify for this exemption, and it also permits the Committee to grant other awards designed to qualify for this exception. However, the Committee reserves the right to grant awards that do not qualify for this exception, and, in some cases, the exception may cease to be available for some or all awards that otherwise so qualify. Thus, it is possible that Section 162(m) of the Code may disallow compensation deductions that would otherwise be available to the Company.

        The foregoing general tax discussion is intended for the information of stockholders in connection with considering how to vote with respect to the 2013 Stock Plan Proposal and not as tax guidance to participants in the Amended and Restated 2013 Plan. Participants are strongly urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the federal, state, local, foreign and other tax consequences to them of participating in the Amended and Restated 2013 Plan.

AUDIT COMMITTEE MATTERS

Audit Committee Report

        The Audit Committee functions pursuant to a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors, the most recent version of which was filed as Appendix A to IAC's 2014 Annual Meeting proxy statement. The Audit Committee charter governs the operations of the Audit Committee and sets forth its responsibilities, which include providing assistance to the Board of Directors with the monitoring of: (i) the integrity of IAC's financial statements, (ii) the effectiveness of IAC's internal control over financial reporting, (iii) the qualifications and independence of IAC's independent registered public accounting firm, (iv) the performance of IAC's internal audit function and independent registered public accounting firm, (v) IAC's risk assessment and risk management policies as they relate to financial and other risk exposures and (vi) the compliance by IAC with legal and regulatory requirements. It is not the duty of the Audit Committee to plan or conduct audits or to determine that IAC's financial statements and disclosures are complete, accurate and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and applicable rules and regulations. These are the responsibilities of Company management and IAC's independent registered public accounting firm.

        In fulfilling its responsibilities, the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited consolidated financial statements of IAC for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 with IAC's management and Ernst & Young LLP.

        The Audit Committee has discussed with Ernst & Young the matters required to be discussed by PCAOB Auditing Standard 1301, "Communications with Audit Committees." In addition, the Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from Ernst & Young required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding Ernst & Young's communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence and has discussed with Ernst & Young its independence from IAC and its management.

        In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited consolidated financial statements of IAC for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 be included in IAC's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 for filing with the SEC.

Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy

        The Audit Committee has a policy governing the pre-approval of all audit and permitted non-audit services performed by IAC's independent registered public accounting firm in order to ensure that the provision of these services does not impair such firm's independence from IAC and its management.

49


Table of Contents

Unless a type of service to be provided by IAC's independent registered public accounting firm has received general pre-approval, it requires specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. Any proposed services in excess of pre-approved cost levels also require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. In all pre-approval instances, the Audit Committee considers whether such services are consistent with SEC rules regarding auditor independence.

        All Tax services require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. In addition, the Audit Committee has designated specific services that have the pre-approval of the Audit Committee (each of which is subject to pre-approved cost levels) and has classified these pre-approved services into one of three categories: Audit, Audit-Related and All Other (excluding Tax). The term of any pre-approval is 12 months from the date of the pre-approval, unless the Audit Committee specifically provides for a different period. The Audit Committee revises the list of pre-approved services from time to time. Pre-approved fee levels for all services to be provided by IAC's independent registered public accounting firm are established periodically from time to time by the Audit Committee.

        Pursuant to the pre-approval policy, the Audit Committee may delegate its authority to grant pre-approvals to one or more of its members, and has currently delegated this authority to its Chairman. The decisions of the Chairman (or any other member(s) to whom such authority may be delegated) to grant pre-approvals must be presented to the full Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Audit Committee may not delegate its responsibilities to pre-approve services to Company management.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Philosophy and Objectives

        Our executive officers whose compensation is discussed in this compensation discussion and analysis (the "CD&A"), and whom we refer to as our named executive officers in this CD&A (the "NEOs") are:

        Our executive officer compensation program is designed to increase long-term stockholder value by attracting, retaining, motivating and rewarding leaders with the competence, character, experience and ambition necessary to enable the Company to meet its growth objectives.

        Though IAC is a publicly traded company, we attempt to foster an entrepreneurial culture, and attract and retain senior executives with entrepreneurial backgrounds, attitudes and aspirations. Accordingly, when attempting to recruit and retain our executive officers, as well as other executives who may become executive officers at a later time, we compete not only with other public companies, but also with earlier stage companies, companies funded by private equity and venture capital firms and professional firms. We structure our compensation program so that we can compete in this varied marketplace for talent, with an emphasis on variable, contingent compensation and long-term equity ownership.

        While we consider market data in establishing broad compensation programs and practices and may periodically benchmark the compensation associated with particular executive positions, we do not definitively rely on competitive survey data or any benchmarking information in establishing executive compensation. The Company makes decisions based on a host of factors particular to a given executive's situation, including its firsthand experience with the competition for recruiting executives and its understanding of the current environment, and believes that over-reliance on survey data, or a benchmarking approach, is too rigid and stale for the dynamic and fast changing marketplace for talent in which we compete.

        Similarly, we believe that arithmetic approaches to measuring and rewarding short-term performance often fail to adequately take into account the multiple factors that contribute to success at the individual and business level. In any given period, the Company may have multiple objectives, and these objectives, and their relative importance, often change as the competitive and strategic landscapes shift. Accordingly, we have historically avoided the use of strict formulas in our annual bonus program, believing that they often over-compensate or under-compensate a given performance level. We instead rely primarily on an approach that, while based on clear objectives, is not formulaic and allows for the exercise of discretion in setting final bonus amounts.

        In addition, we are of the view that long-term incentive compensation in the form of equity awards aligns the interests of executives and long-term shareholders, and to further this important goal, equity awards play a prominent role in our overall compensation program. We have used non-qualified stock options as the predominant equity incentive vehicle for our executives for many years. We use this equity incentive instrument primarily for the sake of simplicity given that the value from stock option awards is directly dependent on appreciation in the Company's stock price and therefore provides an objectively measurable goal, and a belief that it would, in general, make the Company more competitive in recruiting talented executives and employees. From time to time, however, executives

52


Table of Contents

have been awarded restricted stock units in addition to, or in lieu of, stock option awards, depending on the individual circumstances, and in 2015 one of our executives was awarded restricted stock units as described below.

        We believe that the Company's executive officer compensation program puts the substantial majority of compensation at risk, rewards both individual and corporate performance in a targeted fashion, pays amounts appropriate to attract and retain those key individuals necessary to grow the Company and aligns the interests of our key executives with the interests of our stockholders. We continuously evaluate our program and make changes as we deem appropriate.

Roles and Responsibilities

        The Compensation and Human Resources Committee of the Company's Board of Directors (for purposes of this CD&A, the "Committee") has primary responsibility for establishing the compensation of the Company's executive officers. All compensation decisions referred to throughout this CD&A have been made by the Committee, based (in part) on recommendations from Mr. Diller and Mr. Levin (as described below). The Committee currently consists of Mr. Rosenblatt and Ms. Hammer.

        The executive officers participate in structuring Company-wide compensation programs and in establishing appropriate bonus and equity pools. In early 2016, Messrs. Diller and Levin met with the Committee and discussed their views of corporate and individual executive officer performance for 2015 for Messrs. Kaufman and Winiarski, and their recommendations for annual bonuses for those executive officers. Mr. Diller also discussed Mr. Levin's performance, and his views on his own performance, with the Committee. Following these discussions, the Committee met in executive sessions to discuss these recommendations. After consideration of these recommendations, the Committee ultimately determined the annual bonus amount for each executive officer.

        In establishing a given executive officer's compensation package, each individual component is evaluated independently and in relation to the package as a whole. Prior earning histories and outstanding long-term compensation arrangements are also reviewed and taken into account. However, we do not believe in any formulaic relationship or targeted allocation between these elements. Instead, each individual's situation is evaluated on a case-by-case basis each year, considering the variety of relevant factors at that time.

        From time to time, the Committee has solicited the advice of consulting firms and engaged legal counsel. Except as noted below, no such consulting firms or legal counsel were engaged during 2015.

        In addition, from time to time, the Company may solicit survey or peer compensation data from various consulting firms. In 2015, the Company engaged Mercer (US) Inc. to provide comparative market data in connection with the Company's own analysis of its equity compensation practices, but neither Mercer nor any other compensation consultant engaged by the Company had any role in determining or recommending the amount or form of executive compensation for 2015.

        In 2015, the Committee engaged Compensation Advisory Partners LLC ("CAP") to assist the Committee in its consideration of long-term incentive awards for Mr. Diller and Mr. Levin, as discussed further below under the heading "2015 Equity Awards."

Compensation Elements

        Our compensation packages for executive officers primarily consist of salary, annual bonuses, IAC equity awards and, in certain instances, perquisites and other benefits.

53


Table of Contents

Salary

        We typically negotiate a new executive officer's starting salary upon arrival, based on the executive's prior compensation history, prior compensation levels for the particular position within the Company, the Company's New York City location, salary levels of other executives within the Company and salary levels available to the individual in alternative opportunities. Salaries can increase based on a number of factors, including the assumption of additional responsibilities and other factors which demonstrate an executive's increased value to the Company. No executive officer's salary was adjusted during 2015.

Annual Bonuses

        General.    We establish bonus levels through a two-pronged process. First, at the beginning of each year, the Committee sets performance objectives, which historically have been tied to the achievement of EBITDA (as defined below), revenue or share price performance targets during the forthcoming year, and maximum bonus amounts. In general, these performance targets are minimum acceptable performance conditions, but with respect to which there is substantial uncertainty when we establish them. The establishment of performance targets and maximum bonus amounts is undertaken primarily to satisfy the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. Satisfaction of one or more of the performance targets established by the Committee allows for the payment of bonuses that will be deductible by the Company for federal income tax purposes, should any bonuses be awarded to the Company's named executive officers. However, satisfaction of the applicable performance targets does not obligate the Committee to approve any specific bonus amount for any executive officer, and the Committee has historically reduced the maximum bonus amount based on a discretionary assessment of Company and, to a lesser extent, individual performance. In making its determinations regarding individual annual bonus amounts, the Committee considers a variety of factors, such as growth in profitability or achievement of strategic objectives by the Company, and an individual's performance and contribution to the Company. The Committee does not quantify the weight given to any specific element or otherwise follow a formulaic calculation. Rather, the Committee engages in an overall assessment of appropriate bonus levels based on a subjective interpretation of all relevant criteria. This process is designed to permit the Company to deduct the bonus compensation paid to executives for income tax purposes.

        The definition of EBITDA used for establishing Section 162(m) performance objectives comes from IAC's 2013 Stock and Annual Incentive Plan, and is as follows: "EBITDA" means for any period, operating profit (loss) plus, if applicable: (i) depreciation, (ii) amortization and impairment of intangibles, (iii) goodwill impairment, (iv) non-cash compensation expense, (v) restructuring charges, (vi) non cash write-downs of assets, (vii) charges relating to disposal of lines of business, (viii) litigation settlement amounts and (ix) costs incurred for proposed and completed acquisitions.

        2015 Bonuses.    For 2015, the Committee predicated the payment of bonuses to executive officers on attaining: (i) EBITDA in any of the four consecutive calendar quarters beginning with the first quarter of 2015 at least equal to EBITDA in the corresponding calendar quarter twelve months before, (ii) revenue in any of the four consecutive calendar quarters beginning with the first quarter of 2015 at least equal to revenue in the corresponding calendar quarter twelve months before or (iii) share price growth of at least 5% over $63.83 (the closing price of the Company's common stock on December 31, 2014) on any 20 trading days during the period beginning on January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015. Two of the targets were met. After concluding that the threshold performance targets for the payment of bonuses had been achieved, the Committee then exercised its right to reduce bonus

54


Table of Contents

amounts for each individual executive officer from the maximum level established. In setting actual bonus levels, the Committee considered a variety of factors, including:

        While the factors noted above were the primary ones considered in setting bonus award amounts, the Committee also considered each executive's role and responsibilities, the relative contributions made by each executive officer during the year and the relative size of the bonuses paid to the other executive officers. Notwithstanding many significant achievements during the year, Mr. Diller did not receive a bonus for 2015 due to the Company's disappointing financial performance. With respect to bonuses for other executives, the Committee considered the following: (i) with respect to Mr. Levin, his new role as Chief Executive Officer of the Company, including his focus on managing the day-to-day business operations of the Company, as well as his participation in the major initiatives undertaken during 2015 and his role in developing strategic initiatives for the Company, (ii) with respect to Mr. Kaufman, his participation in strategic oversight of the Company, and (iii) with respect to Mr. Winiarski, his role in managing the successful completion of the Match Group initial public offering and related debt transactions, as well as the PlentyOfFish acquisition.

        As noted above, in setting individual bonus amounts, the Committee did not quantify the weight assigned to any specific factor, nor apply a formulaic calculation. In setting bonus amounts, the Committee generally considered the Company's overall performance, the amount of bonus for each named executive relative to other Company executives and the recommendations of the Chairman and Senior Executive and the Chief Executive Officer. In addition, the Committee considered achievements in 2015 as compared to achievements and bonus levels in prior years.

        Executive officer bonuses tend to be highly variable from year-to-year depending on the performance of the Company and, in certain circumstances, individual performance. Accordingly, we believe our executive officer bonus program provides strong incentives to reach the Company's annual goals.

55

Long-Term Incentives

        General.    Due to our entrepreneurial philosophy, we believe that providing a meaningful equity stake in our business is essential to create compensation opportunities that can compete, on a risk-adjusted basis, with entrepreneurial employment alternatives. In addition, we believe that ownership shapes behavior, and that by providing compensation in the form of equity awards, we align executive incentives with stockholder interests in a manner that we believe drives superior performance over time.

        While there is currently no formal stock ownership or holding requirement for executive officers, our executive officers generally have historically held a significant portion of their stock awards (net of tax withholdings) well beyond the relevant vesting dates.

        In establishing equity awards for an executive for any given period, the amount of outstanding unvested and/or unexercised equity awards, as well as previously earned or exercised awards, is reviewed and evaluated on an individual-by-individual basis. In setting particular award levels, the predominant considerations are providing the executive with effective retention incentives, appropriate reward for past performance, incentives for strong future performance and competitive conditions. The annual corporate performance factors relevant to setting bonus amounts, while taken into account, are generally less relevant in determining the type and level of equity awards, as the awards tend to be more forward looking, and are a longer-term retention and reward instrument relative to our annual bonuses.

        The Company's usual practice is to schedule the Committee meetings at which awards are to be made in advance, without regard to the timing of the release of earnings or other material information.

        2015 Equity Awards.    In February 2015, the Committee granted 100,000 stock options to each of Messrs. Kip and Winiarski. The options vest 25% a year, on the first four anniversaries of the grant date, and have an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Company's common stock on the grant date. Also in February 2015, Mr. Kaufman received a restricted stock unit award with a dollar value of $350,000 in accordance with the terms of his employment agreement. The restricted stock units will vest in three equal installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date.

        In February and June 2015, to assist the Committee as it considered new equity awards for Messrs. Diller and Mr. Levin, respectively, the Company engaged CAP to evaluate various long-term incentive alternatives for each of these executives and, in the case of Mr. Diller, make recommendations to the Committee.

        In March 2015, the Committee awarded Mr. Diller 1,000,000 stock options which will vest 25% a year on the first four anniversaries of the grant date. One half of the options have an exercise price equal to, and the other half of the options have an exercise price equal to 125% of, the closing price of the Company's common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the grant date.

        In making this grant to Mr. Diller, the Committee considered that the last time Mr. Diller received an equity award was in 2011, and prior to that was in 2005. The Committee also noted that the options granted in 2005 were set to expire in June 2015 and that the last tranche of the options granted in 2011 fully vested in February 2015. As a result, the Committee determined it was in the best interest of the Company to provide Mr. Diller an additional long-term incentive award. In finalizing the structure of the award, the Committee took into account a variety of factors, including:

56


Table of Contents

        The Committee also considered the value realized by Mr. Diller from his exercise of stock options over the years and the intrinsic value of his currently outstanding options. They took note that Mr. Diller had generally exercised options after holding them for substantial periods of time after grant, and as a result, the Committee considered the realization of value by Mr. Diller to be primarily a function of both personal investment decisions by him and the timing of the relevant option expiration dates, and not compensation for the periods in which it would be realized.

        On June 24, 2015, Mr. Levin was appointed as the Company's Chief Executive Officer. In his former role as Chief Executive Officer of IAC Search, a portion of his long-term incentives were tied to that business. When the Company asked Mr. Levin to become Chief Executive Officer, the Committee desired to have a compensation structure for him that provided incentives directly aligned with the performance of the Company as a whole. In June 2015, the Committee awarded Mr. Levin 400,000 stock options which will vest 25% a year, on the first four anniversaries of the grant date, and have an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Company's common stock on the grant date, with 50% of these options becoming exercisable only if the closing price per share of the Company's common stock during any 20 consecutive days equals or exceeds 150% of the closing price of the Company's common stock on the grant date. In connection with this new award, Mr. Levin surrendered to the Company equity awards previously granted to him that were tied solely to the IAC Search business. In finalizing the structure of the award, the Committee took into account a variety of factors, including many of those considered in connection with Mr. Diller's award, as discussed above.

        We believe these awards provide meaningful retention and performance incentives for our executive officers.

        2016 Equity Awards.    In February 2016, the Committee granted 200,000 stock options to Mr. Levin and 100,000 stock options to Mr. Winiarski. The options vest 25% a year, on the first four anniversaries of the grant date, and have an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Company's common stock on the grant date. Also in February 2016, Mr. Levin received 100,000 restricted stock units, vesting in one lump sum installment on the third anniversary of the grant date, and Mr. Kaufman received a restricted stock unit award with a dollar value of $350,000 in accordance with the terms of his employment agreement, vesting in thirds on the first three anniversaries of the grant date.

Change of Control

        The Company's equity awards for senior executives generally include a so-called "double-trigger" change of control provision, which provides for the acceleration of the vesting of outstanding equity awards in connection with a change of control only when an award recipient suffers an involuntary termination of employment during the two year period following such change of control. The Committee believes that providing for the acceleration of the vesting of equity awards after an involuntary termination will assist in the retention of our executives through a change of control transaction. For purposes of this discussion and the discussion below under the heading "Severance," we use the term "involuntary termination" to mean both a termination by the Company without "cause" and a resignation by the executive for "good reason" or similar construct.

57


Table of Contents

Severance

        We generally provide executive officers with some amount of salary continuation and some amount of accelerated vesting of equity awards in the event of an involuntary termination of employment. Because we tend to promote our executive officers from within, after competence and commitment have generally been established, we believe that the likelihood of the vesting of equity awards being accelerated is typically low, and yet we believe that through providing this benefit we increase the retentive effect of our equity program, which serves as our most important retention incentive. The Company generally does not provide for the acceleration of the vesting of equity awards in the event an executive voluntarily resigns from the Company.

Other Compensation

        General.    We provide Mr. Diller with various non-cash benefits as part of his overall compensation program. Under certain limited circumstances, other executive officers have also received non-cash benefits. The value of these benefits is calculated under appropriate rules and is taken into account as a component of compensation when establishing overall compensation levels. The value of all non-cash benefits is reported under the "All Other Compensation" column in the Summary Compensation Table on page 60 pursuant to applicable rules. Our executive officers do not participate in any deferred compensation or retirement programs other than the Company's 401(k) plan. During 2015, we did not (and generally do not) gross-up any benefits provided to any executive officer. Other than those described specifically below, our executive officers do not partake in any benefit programs, or receive any significant perquisites, distinct from the Company's other employees.

        Mr. Diller.    Pursuant to Company policy, Mr. Diller is required to travel, both for business and personal purposes, on corporate aircraft. In addition to serving general security interests, this means of travel permits him to travel non-stop and without delay, to remain in contact with the Company while he is traveling, to change his plans quickly in the event Company business requires and to conduct confidential Company business while flying, be it telephonically, by e-mail or in person. These interests are similarly furthered on both business and personal flights, as Mr. Diller typically provides his services to the Company while traveling in either case. Nonetheless, the incremental cost to the Company of his travel for personal purposes is reflected as compensation to Mr. Diller from the Company, and is taken into account in establishing his overall compensation package. For certain personal use of Company-owned aircraft, Mr. Diller reimburses the Company at the maximum rate allowable under applicable rules of the Federal Aviation Administration. See "Relationships Involving Significant Stockholders, Named Executives and Directors—Relationships Involving Mr. Diller" on page 74.

        Additionally, the Company provides Mr. Diller with a cash car allowance, as well as providing access to certain automobiles for business and personal use. We also provide certain Company-owned office space and IT equipment for use by certain individuals who work for Mr. Diller personally. These uses are valued by the Company at their incremental cost to the Company or, in the case of the use of office space (where there is no discernible incremental cost), at the cost used for internal allocations of office space for corporate purposes.

        Mr. Kaufman.    Mr. Kaufman is entitled to use corporate aircraft for a certain amount of personal travel annually. However, Mr. Kaufman reimburses the Company for the Company's incremental cost of such travel and therefore the value of such travel is not treated as compensation to Mr. Kaufman. Typically, Mr. Kaufman's spouse accompanies him on personal and business flights at no incremental cost to the Company.

58


Table of Contents

        Mr. Levin.    Pursuant to Company policy, Mr. Levin is encouraged to travel, both for business and personal purposes, on corporate aircraft for the same reasons as set forth above for Mr. Diller. The incremental cost to the Company of his travel for personal purposes is reflected as compensation to Mr. Levin from the Company, and is taken into account in establishing his overall compensation package.

Tax Deductibility

        Whenever possible, we endeavor to structure our compensation program so that the compensation we pay is deductible by the Company for federal income tax purposes. Because of the use of performance conditions in connection with our equity awards and annual bonuses, and the fact that no salaries are in excess of $1 million, these three components are generally deductible by the Company. However, under applicable IRS rules, the personal use of corporate aircraft leads to a disallowance of the deduction of certain airplane and related costs.

COMPENSATION AND HUMAN RESPOURCES COMMITTEE REPORT

        The Compensation and Human Resources Committee has reviewed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis and discussed it with Company management. In reliance on its review and the discussions referred to above, the Compensation and Human Resources Committee recommended to the Board that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in IAC's 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K and this Proxy Statement.

Reflects the dollar value of RSU awards, calculated by multiplying the closing market price of IAC common stock on the grant date by the number of RSUs awarded.

(2)
In 2015, Messrs. Diller, Levin, Kip and Winiarski were granted stock option awards with vesting tied to continued service and Mr. Levin was granted a performance stock option award with vesting tied to continued employment and exercisability tied to the satisfaction of certain performance-based conditions related to the Company's stock price. Accordingly, for Messrs. Diller, Kip and Winiarski, these amounts represent the grant date fair value of their stock option awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. And for Mr. Levin, $3,980,000 of this amount represents the grant date fair value of stock option awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and $4,086,000 of this amount represents the grant date fair value of the performance stock option award using a lattice model that incorporates a Monte Carlo simulation of the Company's stock price. For details regarding the assumptions used to calculate these amounts in 2015, see footnotes 4 and 7 to the "Grants of Plan-Based Awards in 2015" table on page 62.

(a)
Pursuant to the Company's Airplane Travel Policy, Mr. Diller is required to travel by Company-owned or chartered aircraft for both business and personal purposes and Mr. Levin is encouraged to use Company aircraft for business and personal travel when doing so would serve the interests of the Company. See the discussion regarding airplane travel under "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" on page 58. We calculate the incremental cost to the Company for personal use of Company aircraft based on the average variable operating costs to the Company. Variable operating costs include fuel, certain maintenance costs, navigation fees, on-board catering, landing fees, crew travel expenses and other miscellaneous variable costs. The total annual variable costs are divided by the annual number of miles the Company aircraft flew to derive an average variable cost per mile. This average variable cost per mile is then multiplied by the miles flown for personal use. Incremental costs do not include fixed costs that do not change based on usage, such as pilots' salaries, the purchase costs of Company-owned aircraft, insurance, scheduled maintenance and non-trip related hangar expenses. Messrs. Diller and Levin occasionally had family members or other guests accompany them on business and personal trips. While travel by family members or other guests does not result in any incremental cost to the Company, such travel does result in the imputation of taxable income to Messrs. Diller and Levin, the amount of which is calculated in accordance with applicable IRS regulations.

(b)
Represents the total amount of other benefits provided to Mr. Diller, none of which individually exceeded 10% of the total value of all perquisites and personal benefits. The total amount of other benefits provided reflects: (i) lease payments, parking, fuel, maintenance and other costs associated with Mr. Diller's personal use of an automobile leased and maintained by IAC and a cash car allowance, (ii) an allocation (based on square footage) of costs for the use of IAC office space by certain individuals who work for Mr. Diller personally, (iii) an allocation (based on the number of personal computers and communication devices supported by IAC) of costs relating to the use by such individuals of the Company's IT technical support and certain communications equipment and (iv) costs incurred for Mr. Diller's personal use of other car services.
(4)
In connection with the grant of IAC stock options to Mr. Levin at the time he was appointed Chief Executive Officer of IAC in June 2015, Mr. Levin surrendered equity awards tied solely to the value of IAC's Search business.

(2)
These stock options vested/vest in four equal installments on the anniversary of the applicable grant date, subject to continued employment.

(3)
The exercise price is equal to the fair market value per share (as defined in the applicable stock and annual incentive plan) of IAC common stock on the grant date.

(4)
Reflects the grant date fair value of stock option awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes option pricing model incorporates various assumptions, including expected volatility (based on the historical volatility of IAC common stock), risk-free interest rates (based on U.S. Treasury yields for notes with terms comparable to those of the stock options, in effect at the grant date), expected term (based on the historical exercise behavior of our employees) and dividend yield (based on IAC's historical dividend payments). The assumptions used to calculate the amounts in the table above for stock option awards granted to our named executives are as follows:        

Named Executive
  Expected Volatility   Risk-Free
Interest Rate
  Expected Term   Dividend Yield  

Barry Diller

    29.48 %   1.638 % 6.07 years     2.02 %

Gregg Winiarski

    29.49 %   1.737 % 6.07 years     2.2 %
(5)
The exercise price is equal to 125% of the fair market value per share (as defined in the applicable stock and annual incentive plan) of IAC common stock on the grant date.

(6)
These stock options vest in four equal installments on the anniversary of the grant date, subject to continued employment, and become exercisable if the closing price per share of the Company's common stock during any 20 consecutive trading day period equals or exceeds $115.89 (a 50% increase to the closing price of the Company's common stock on the grant date) at any time during the period during which the stock options are outstanding.

Reflects the grant date fair value of the performance stock option award granted to Mr. Levin using a lattice model that incorporates a Monte Carlo simulation of IAC's stock price. The assumptions used to calculate the amount in the table above for this award are as follows: weighted average expected volatility (27%), risk-free interest rate (2.3%) and dividend yield (1.8%). The expected term of this award (4 years) is derived from the output of the valuation model.

(8)
These RSUs vested/vest in three equal installments on the anniversary of the grant date, subject to continued employment.

        The table below provides information regarding the number of shares acquired by our named executives upon the exercise of stock options and/or the vesting of RSU awards in 2015 and the related value realized, excluding the effect of any applicable taxes. The dollar value realized upon the exercise of stock options represents the difference between: (i)(A) in the case of simultaneous exercise and sale transactions, the sale price of the shares acquired upon exercise, or (B) in the case of Mr. Diller's exercise only, the closing price of IAC common stock on the exercise date given the fact that no simultaneous sale occurred, and (ii) the exercise price of the stock options, multiplied by the number of stock options exercised. The dollar value realized upon the vesting of RSUs represents the closing price of IAC common stock on the vesting date, multiplied by the number of RSUs so vesting.

Mr. Diller also exercised HSN, Inc. and Tree.com, Inc. stock options in 2015, in connection with which he received gross proceeds of $11,996,840 and $5,132,875, respectively. In both cases, these amounts represent the difference between the exercise price of the applicable stock options and the fair market value per share (as defined in the applicable stock and annual incentive plan) of the applicable common stock underlying such stock options at the time of exercise.


Mr. Diller received these stock options as a result of spin-off transactions completed by the Company in August 2008. The value realized upon the exercise of these non-IAC stock options by Mr. Diller is treated for tax purposes as compensation payable to him in his capacity as Chairman and Senior Executive of the Company.

(2)
In connection with the exercise of these stock options, the Company withheld 395,654 shares of IAC common stock to cover the payment of the exercise price and 173,369 shares of IAC common stock to cover the payment of taxes due in connection with the exercise, which resulted in the issuance of 136,711 shares of IAC common stock to Mr. Diller.

Estimated Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control of IAC

        Certain of our employment agreements, equity award agreements and/or omnibus stock and annual incentive plans entitle our named executives to continued base salary payments, the acceleration of the vesting of equity awards and/or extended post-termination exercise periods for stock options upon certain terminations of employment (including certain terminations during specified periods following a change in control of IAC). These arrangements are described below as they would have applied to each named executive on December 31, 2015.

        Certain amounts that would have become payable to our named executives upon the events described above (as and if applicable), assuming that the relevant event occurred on December 31, 2015, are described and quantified in the table below. These amounts, which exclude the effect of any applicable taxes, are based on the named executive's base salary and the number of IAC stock options and/or RSUs outstanding on December 31, 2015 and the closing price of IAC common stock ($60.05) on December 31, 2015. In addition to these amounts, certain other amounts and benefits generally payable and made available to other Company employees upon a termination of employment, including

65

payments for accrued vacation time and outplacement services, will generally be payable to named executives.

        No payments would have been made to Messrs. Diller and Levin pursuant to any agreement between the Company and these named executives upon a termination without cause or due to death or disability or a resignation for good reason on December 31, 2015. In addition, no payments would have been made to Messrs. Diller and Levin pursuant to any agreement between the Company and these named executives upon a change in control of IAC on December 31, 2015. Lastly, upon a termination without cause or resignation for good reason following a change in control of IAC on December 31, 2015, in accordance with the applicable omnibus stock and incentive plan and the related award agreements, the vesting of all then outstanding and unvested stock options and/or RSUs, as applicable, held by Messrs. Diller and Levin would have been accelerated.

        In addition, in the case of Mr. Diller only, under the Equity and Bonus Compensation Agreement, dated August 24, 1995, between the Company and Mr. Diller, we agreed that to the extent any payment or distribution by the Company to or for the benefit of Mr. Diller (whether under the terms of the related agreement or otherwise) would be subject to the excise tax imposed by §4999 of the Internal Revenue Code, or any interest or penalties are incurred by Mr. Diller with respect to such excise tax, then Mr. Diller would be entitled to a gross-up payment covering the excise taxes and related interest and penalties. Given that Mr. Diller would not have received any payments or other benefits upon an assumed change in control of IAC at the end of 2015, the Company does not believe that any excise tax would be imposed or that any gross-up would be required.

        Upon a termination without cause or resignation for good reason on December 31, 2015, pursuant to the terms of his amended employment agreement, Mr. Kaufman would have been entitled to:

        No payments would have been made to Mr. Kaufman pursuant to any agreement between the Company and Mr. Kaufman upon a change in control of IAC on December 31, 2015. Upon a termination without cause or resignation for good reason following a change in control of IAC on December 31, 2015, in accordance with our omnibus stock and annual incentive plans and the related award agreements, the vesting of all then outstanding and unvested RSUs held by Mr. Kaufman would have been accelerated. For Mr. Kaufman, "good reason" means a material breach of his amended employment agreement by the Company that it fails to remedy.

        Upon a termination without cause or voluntary resignation on December 31, 2015, pursuant to the terms of an oral agreement between Mr. Kip and the Company that was reached following his tenure as the Company's Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Kip would have been entitled to:

        No payments would have been made to Mr. Kip pursuant to any agreement between the Company and Mr. Kip upon a change in control of IAC on December 31, 2015. Lastly, upon a termination without cause or resignation for good reason following a change in control of IAC on December 31, 2015, in accordance with the applicable omnibus stock and annual incentive plans and the related award agreements, the vesting of all then outstanding and unvested stock options and RSUs held by Mr. Kip would have been accelerated.

        Upon a termination without cause or resignation for good reason on December 31, 2015, pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement, Mr. Winiarski would have been entitled to:

        No payments would have been made to Mr. Winiarski pursuant to any agreement between the Company and Mr. Winiarski upon a change in control of IAC on December 31, 2015. Upon a termination without cause or resignation for good reason following a change in control of IAC on December 31, 2015, in accordance with our omnibus stock and annual incentive plans and the related award agreements, the vesting of all then outstanding and unvested stock options and RSUs held by Mr. Winiarski would have been accelerated.

        For Mr. Winiarski, "good reason" includes: (i) a material adverse change in his title, duties or level of responsibilities, (ii) a material reduction in his base salary, (iii) a material relocation of his principal place of employment outside of the New York City metropolitan area, and (iv) a material adverse change in reporting structure such that he is no longer reporting to a Company officer with a title of Executive Vice President or above that reports to the Company's Chairman or Vice Chairman, in each case, without the written consent of Mr. Winiarski or that is not cured promptly after notice.

Information excludes 6,401,414 shares that have been reserved and may be issuable upon the settlement of subsidiary-level phantom equity awards (without giving effect to the withholding of shares to cover taxes due) that relate to subsidiaries of IAC and Match Group, Inc. ("Match Group"), based on the estimated values of such awards as of December 31, 2015. For a description of these awards, see the discussion under the caption "Equity Instruments Denominated in the Shares of Certain Subsidiaries" in Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, which is incorporated herein by reference.


Following the completion of Match Group's initial public offering in November 2015, subsidiary-level phantom equity awards that relate to Match Group subsidiaries are settleable, at IAC's election, in shares of IAC common stock or Match Group common stock. To the extent that shares of IAC common stock are issued in settlement of these awards, Match Group will reimburse IAC for the cost of those shares by issuing IAC additional shares of Match Group common stock.


The number of shares ultimately needed to settle subsidiary-level phantom equity awards can vary from the estimated numbers disclosed above as a result of both movements in our stock price and determinations of the fair value of the relevant subsidiaries that differ from our estimated determinations of the fair value of such subsidiaries as of December 31, 2015.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

        Non-Employee Director Compensation Arrangements.    The Nominating Committee has primary responsibility for establishing non-employee director compensation arrangements, which have been designed to provide competitive compensation necessary to attract and retain high quality non-employee directors and to encourage ownership of Company stock to further align the interests of our directors with those of our stockholders. Arrangements in effect during 2015 provided that: (i) each member of the Board receive an annual retainer in the amount of $50,000, (ii) each member of the Audit and Compensation and Human Resources Committees (including their respective Chairpersons) receive an additional annual retainer in the amount of $10,000 and $5,000, respectively, and (iii) the Chairpersons of each of the Audit and Compensation and Human Resources Committees receive an additional annual chairperson retainer in the amount of $20,000, with all amounts being paid quarterly, in arrears.

        In addition, these arrangements also provided that each non-employee director receive a grant of RSUs with a dollar value of $250,000 upon his or her initial election to the Board and annually thereafter upon re-election on the date of IAC's annual meeting of stockholders, the terms of which provide for: (i) vesting in three equal installments commencing on the anniversary of the grant date, (ii) cancellation and forfeiture of unvested RSUs in their entirety upon termination of Board service for IAC and its affiliates and (iii) full acceleration of vesting upon a change in control of IAC. The Company also reimburses non-employee directors for all reasonable expenses incurred in connection with attendance at IAC Board and Board committee meetings.

        Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors.    Under IAC's Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors, non-employee directors may defer all or a portion of their Board and Board committee fees. Eligible directors who defer all or any portion of these fees can elect to have such deferred fees applied to the purchase of share units, representing the number of shares of IAC common stock that could have been purchased on the relevant date, or credited to a cash fund. If any dividends are paid on IAC common stock, dividend equivalents will be credited on the share units. The cash fund will be credited with deemed interest at an annual rate equal to the weighted average prime lending rate of JPMorgan Chase & Co. After a director ceases to be a member of the Board, he or she will receive: (i) with respect to share units, such number of shares of IAC common stock as the share units represent, and (ii) with respect to the cash fund, a cash payment in an amount equal to deferred amounts, plus accrued interest. These payments are generally made in a one lump sum installment after the relevant director leaves the Board and otherwise in accordance with the plan.

Fees earned by, and the grant date fair value of RSU awards granted to, a former director (Sonali De Rycker) in 2015 were $50,000 in fees earned and deferred and an IAC RSU award with a grant date fair value of $249,936.

(2)
Represents the dollar value of fees deferred in the form of share units by the relevant director under IAC's Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors. Pursuant to the terms of the plan, share units are credited with the number of share units that could have been purchased with the dollar amount of ordinary cash dividends payable on the number of share units outstanding on the relevant dividend record date, with each share unit being treated as if it was one share of IAC common stock. Share units issued as credit for ordinary cash dividends paid are settled at the same time as the underlying share units (after the relevant director leaves the Board and otherwise in accordance with the plan).


Pursuant to the plan, share units held by each of Messrs. Bronfman, Lourd, Rosenblatt, Spoon and von Furstenberg and Mses. Clinton and De Rycker during 2015 were credited with share units for ordinary cash dividends paid in 2015 with a value of approximately $30,482, $28,571, $7,095, $37,076, $4,756, $4,215 and $2,457, respectively.

(3)
Amounts presented represent the grant date fair value of these RSU awards, which was calculated using the closing price of IAC common stock on the grant date.

The differences in the amounts shown above among directors reflect, as applicable, committee service (or lack thereof), which varies among directors.


SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

        The following table presents, as of October 27, 2016, information relating to the beneficial ownership of IAC common stock and Class B common stock by: (1) each person known by IAC to own beneficially more than 5% of the outstanding shares of IAC common stock and Class B common stock, (2) each current director and director nominee, (3) each named executive and (4) all current directors and named executives of IAC as a group. As of October 27, 2016, there were 73,570,302 and 5,789,499 shares of IAC common stock and Class B common stock, respectively, outstanding.

Table of Contents

        Unless otherwise indicated, the beneficial owners listed below may be contacted at IAC's corporate headquarters located at 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011. For each listed person, the number of shares of IAC common stock and percent of such class listed assumes the conversion or exercise of any IAC equity securities owned by such person that are or will become convertible or exercisable, and the vesting of any stock options and/or RSUs that will vest, within 60 days of October 27, 2016, but does not assume the conversion, exercise or vesting of any such equity securities owned by any other person. Shares of IAC Class B common stock may, at the option of the holder, be converted on a one-for-one basis into shares of IAC common stock. The percentage of votes for all classes of capital stock is based on one vote for each share of IAC common stock and ten votes for each share of IAC Class B common stock.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

        Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company's officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of the Company's equity securities, to file initial statements of beneficial ownership (Form 3) and statements of changes in beneficial ownership (Forms 4 and 5) of IAC common stock and other equity securities of the Company with the SEC. Officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners are required by SEC rules to furnish the Company with copies of all such forms they file. Based solely on a review of the copies of such forms furnished to the Company and/or written representations that no additional forms were required, the

Company believes that its officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners complied with these filing requirements in 2015.


CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS

Review of Related Person Transactions

        The Audit Committee has a formal, written policy that requires an appropriate review of all related person transactions by the Audit Committee, as required by Marketplace Rules governing conflict of interest transactions. For purposes of this policy, as amended, consistent with the Marketplace Rules, the terms "related person" and "transaction" are determined by reference to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Item 404"). During 2015, in accordance with this policy, Company management was required to determine whether any proposed transaction, arrangement or relationship with a related person fell within the definition of "transaction" set forth in Item 404, and if so, review such transaction with the Audit Committee. In connection with such determinations, Company management and the Audit Committee consider: (i) the parties to the transaction and the nature of their affiliation with IAC and the related person, (ii) the dollar amount involved in the transaction, (iii) the material terms of the transaction, including whether the terms of the transaction are ordinary course and/or otherwise negotiated at arms' length, (iv) whether the transaction is material, on a quantitative and/or qualitative basis, to IAC and/or the related person and (v) any other facts and circumstances that Company management or the Audit Committee deems appropriate.

Relationships Involving Significant Stockholders, Named Executives and Directors

        Relationships Involving Mr. Diller.    Pursuant to an amended and restated governance agreement between IAC and Mr. Diller, for so long as Mr. Diller serves as IAC's Chairman and Senior Executive, he currently generally has the right to consent to limited matters in the event that IAC's ratio of total debt to EBITDA (as defined in the governance agreement) equals or exceeds four to one over a continuous twelve-month period.

        However, effective upon the payment of the Dividend (as described on page 17), the New Governance Agreement (as defined on page 17) will eliminate Mr. Diller's consent rights. As part of the New Governance Agreement, Mr. Diller and certain of his family members and his and their affiliates have agreed to certain transfer restrictions with respect to the Class C common stock to be issued as part of the Dividend, if it is declared and paid, and have further agreed that they will not enter into certain transactions unless such transaction includes the same consideration, or an offer to receive the same consideration to all holders of shares of IAC's capital stock, subject to certain important exceptions. For a description of the rights provided in the New Governance Agreement, see "Second Amended and Restated Governance Agreement" under "Proposal 3—Approval of the Adoption of IAC's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation" beginning on p. 16.

        In 2001, IAC and Mr. Diller entered into an agreement with respect to the construction of a screening room on Mr. Diller's property to assist Mr. Diller in connection with Company-related activities. Construction costs of approximately $1.8 million were paid by the Company and the agreement provides that under certain circumstances, including upon the termination of Mr. Diller's employment by IAC or its affiliates, Mr. Diller shall have the option to pay to IAC an amount equal to the depreciated book value of the construction costs to acquire the facilities.

        As discussed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis on page 58, pursuant to the Company's Airplane Travel Policy, Mr. Diller is required to travel by Company-owned or chartered aircraft for both business and personal use. Mr. Diller reimbursed IAC approximately $350,000 for personal use of Company-owned aircraft in 2015.

Table of Contents

        Relationships Involving Other Directors.    During 2015, an IAC business was billed for data licensing services provided by infoGroup, Inc. ("infoGroup") in the aggregate amount of approximately $500,000. infoGroup is a portfolio company of CCMP Capital Advisors, LLC, of which Mr. Zannino is a Managing Director and member of the firm's Investment Committee. The agreement pursuant to which the IAC business made these payments was entered into by the parties before Mr. Zannino joined the Board and before CCMP acquired infoGroup.

        In June 2010, Mr. Bronfman was part of a trial in the Trial Court in Paris involving six other individuals, including the former Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer of Vivendi Universal. The other individuals faced various criminal charges and civil claims relating to Vivendi, including Vivendi's financial disclosures, the appropriateness of executive compensation and trading in Vivendi stock. Mr. Bronfman previously served as the Vice Chairman of Vivendi and faced a charge and claims relating to certain trading in Vivendi stock in January 2002. At the trial, the public prosecutor and the lead civil claimant both took the position that Mr. Bronfman should be acquitted. In January 2011, the court found Mr. Bronfman guilty of the charge relating to his trading in Vivendi stock, found him not liable to the civil claimants and imposed a fine of 5 million euros and a suspended sentence of fifteen months. Mr. Bronfman appealed the Trial Court decision to the Paris Court of Appeal. In November 2013, Mr. Bronfman participated in a re-trial before a new judicial panel as part of his appeal of the Paris Trial Court's 2011 ruling. In May 2014, the new judicial panel rendered its decision, affirming the Paris Trial Court's finding that Mr. Bronfman was guilty of the charge, but stated that its finding would appear only in French judicial records (and not in Mr. Bronfman's public record), removed the suspended sentence imposed by the Paris Trial Court and suspended 2.5 million euros of the original fine of 5 million euros. The new judicial panel affirmed the Paris Trial Court's finding that Mr. Bronfman was not liable to the civil claimants. Mr. Bronfman has appealed the verdict and believes that his trading in Vivendi stock was proper. Under French law, the penalty is suspended pending the final outcome of the case.

Relationships Involving IAC and Expedia

        Overview.    Since the completion of the spin-off of Expedia in August 2005 (the "Expedia Spin-Off"), IAC and Expedia have been related parties since they are under common control. In connection with and following the Expedia Spin-Off, IAC and Expedia entered into certain arrangements, including arrangements regarding the sharing of certain costs, the use and ownership of certain aircraft and various commercial agreements, certain of which are generally described below.

        Cost Sharing Arrangements.    Mr. Diller currently serves as Chairman and Senior Executive of both IAC and Expedia. In connection with the Expedia Spin-Off, IAC and Expedia had agreed, in light of Mr. Diller's senior role at both companies and his anticipated use of certain resources to the benefit of both companies, to share certain expenses associated with such usage, as well as certain costs incurred by IAC in connection with the provision of certain benefits to Mr. Diller (the "Shared Costs"). Cost sharing arrangements in effect during 2015 provided that each of IAC and Expedia cover 50% of the Shared Costs, which both companies agreed best reflects the allocation of actual time spent (and time to be spent) by Mr. Diller between the two companies. Shared Costs include costs for personal use of cars and equipment dedicated to Mr. Diller's use and expenses relating to Mr. Diller's support staff. Costs in 2015 for which IAC billed Expedia were approximately $495,000 pursuant to these arrangements.

        Aircraft Arrangements.    Each of IAC and Expedia has a 50% ownership interest in two aircraft that are used by both companies (the "Aircraft"). IAC and Expedia entered into an amended and restated operating agreement that allocates the costs of operating and maintaining the Aircraft between the parties. Fixed costs are allocated 50% to each company and variable costs are allocated based on usage. These costs are generally paid by each company to third parties in accordance with the terms of the amended and restated operating agreement.

75


Table of Contents

        In the event Mr. Diller ceases to serve as Chairman of either IAC or Expedia, each of IAC and Expedia will have a put right (to the other party) with respect to its owned interest in the aircraft that it does not primarily use (with such determination to be based on relative usage over the twelve months preceding such event), in each case, at fair market value for the aircraft in question.

        Members of the flight crew for the Aircraft are employed by an entity in which each of IAC and Expedia has a 50% ownership interest. IAC and Expedia have agreed to share costs relating to flight crew compensation and benefits pro rata according to each company's respective usage of the Aircraft, for which they are separately billed by the entity described above. During 2015, total payments in the amount of approximately $1.8 million were made to this entity by IAC.

        Commercial Agreements.    In connection with and following the Expedia Spin-Off, certain IAC businesses entered into commercial agreements with certain Expedia businesses. IAC believes that these arrangements are ordinary course and have been negotiated at arm's length. In addition, IAC believes that none of these arrangements, whether taken individually or in the aggregate, constitute a material contract to IAC. None of these arrangements, whether taken individually or together with other similar agreements, involved payments to or from IAC and its businesses in excess of $120,000 in 2015.


ANNUAL REPORTS

        Upon written request to the Corporate Secretary, IAC/InterActiveCorp, 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, IAC will provide without charge to each person solicited a printed copy of IAC's 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K, including the financial statements and financial statement schedule filed therewith. Copies are also available on our website, www.iac.com. IAC will furnish requesting stockholders with any exhibit to its 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K upon payment of a reasonable fee.


STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS AND DIRECTOR NOMINEES FOR PRESENTATION
AT THE 2017 ANNUAL MEETING

        Eligible stockholders who intend to have a proposal considered for inclusion in IAC's proxy materials for presentation at the 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act must submit such proposal to IAC at its corporate headquarters no later than January 10, 2017. Stockholder proposals submitted for inclusion in IAC's proxy materials must be made in accordance with the provisions of Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act. Eligible stockholders who intend to present a proposal or nomination at the 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders without inclusion of the proposal in IAC's proxy materials are required to provide notice of such proposal or nomination to IAC at its corporate headquarters no later than March 24, 2017. If IAC does not receive notice of the proposal or nomination at its corporate headquarters prior to such date, such proposal or nomination will be considered untimely for purposes of Rules 14a-4 and 14a-5 of the Exchange Act and those IAC officers who will have been designated as proxies will accordingly be authorized to exercise discretionary voting authority to vote for or against the proposal. IAC reserves the right to reject, rule out of order or take other appropriate action with respect to any proposal or nomination that does not comply with these and other applicable requirements.

HOUSEHOLDING

        The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (such as brokers) to send one set of printed proxy materials to any household at which two or more stockholders reside if they appear to be members of the same family or have given their written consent (each stockholder continues to receive a separate proxy card). This process, which is commonly referred to as "householding," reduces the number of duplicate copies of materials stockholders receive and reduces printing and mailing costs. Only one set of our printed proxy materials will be sent to stockholders eligible for householding unless contrary instructions have been provided.

        Once you have received notice that your broker or IAC will be householding your materials, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or you revoke your consent. You may request a separate set of our printed proxy materials by sending a written request to Investor Relations, IAC/InterActiveCorp, 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, by calling 1.212.314.7400 or by e-mailing ir@iac.com. Upon request, IAC undertakes to deliver such materials promptly.

        If at any time: (i) you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate set of our printed proxy materials or (ii) you and another stockholder sharing the same address wish to participate in householding and prefer to receive one set of our printed proxy materials, please notify your broker if you hold your shares in street name or IAC if you are a stockholder of record. You can notify us by sending a written request to Investor Relations, IAC/InterActiveCorp, 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, by calling 1.212.314.7400 or by e-mailing ir@iac.com.

Transfer of Class C Common Stock.

(a)
Mr. Diller shall be entitled to customary registration rights relating to (i) Common Stock beneficially owned by him as of the date of the Governance Agreement or acquired from the Company (including upon conversion of the Class B Common Stock pursuant to Article IV, Section D(2) of the Amended and Restated Certificate and upon the vesting or exercise of Company-issued equity awards and upon conversion of the Class C Common Stock pursuant to Article IV, Section D(4) of the Amended and Restated Certificate) thereafter and (ii) Class C Common Stock acquired from the Company in connection with the Class C Common Stock Dividend or in the future (including upon the vesting or exercise of Company-issued equity awards), including the ability to transfer registration rights as set forth below in connection with the sale or other disposition of Common Stock and/or Class C Common Stock.

Mr. Diller shall also be entitled to customary piggyback registration rights. If the amount of shares sought to be registered by Mr. Diller and his Family Member and/or Family Entity pursuant to any Demand Registration is reduced by more than twenty-five percent (25%) pursuant to any underwriters' cutback, then Mr. Diller may elect to request the Company to withdraw such registration, in which case such registration shall not count as one of Mr. Diller's Demand Registrations. If Mr. Diller requests that any Demand Registration be an underwritten offering, then Mr. Diller shall select the underwriter(s) to administer the offering, provided that such underwriter(s) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company. If a Demand Registration is an underwritten offering and the managing underwriter advises Mr. Diller in writing that in its opinion the total number or dollar amount of securities proposed to be sold in such offering is such as to materially and adversely affect the success of such offering, then the Company will include in such registration, first, the securities of Mr. Diller (including those of Family Members and/or

        (c)    Discretion of Committee.    Subject to Section 1(g), any determination made by the Committee or by an appropriately delegated officer pursuant to delegated authority under the provisions of the Plan with respect to any Award shall be made in the sole discretion of the Committee or such delegate at the time of the grant of the Award or, unless in contravention of any express term of the Plan, at any time thereafter. All decisions made by the Committee or any appropriately delegated officer pursuant to the provisions of the Plan shall be final and binding on all persons, including the Company, Participants, and Eligible Individuals.

SECTION 4. ELIGIBILITY

        Awards may be granted under the Plan to Eligible Individuals; provided, however, that Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to employees of the Company and its subsidiaries or parent corporation (within the meaning of Section 424(f) of the Code).

SECTION 5. OPTIONS AND STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

        (a)    Types of Options.    Options may be of two types: Incentive Stock Options and Nonqualified Options. The Award Agreement for an Option shall indicate whether the Option is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonqualified Option.

        (b)    Types and Nature of Stock Appreciation Rights.    Stock Appreciation Rights may be "Tandem SARs," which are granted in conjunction with an Option, or "Free-Standing SARs," which are not granted in conjunction with an Option. Upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, the Participant shall be entitled to receive an amount in cash, Shares, or both, in value equal to the product of (i) the excess of the Fair Market Value of one Share over the exercise price of the applicable Stock Appreciation Right, multiplied by (ii) the number of Shares in respect of which the Stock Appreciation Right has been exercised. The applicable Award Agreement shall specify whether such payment is to be made in cash or Common Stock or both, or shall reserve to the Committee or the Participant the right to make that determination prior to or upon the exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right.

        (c)    Tandem SARs.    A Tandem SAR may be granted at the Grant Date of the related Option. A Tandem SAR shall be exercisable only at such time or times and to the extent that the related Option is exercisable in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5, and shall have the same exercise price as the related Option. A Tandem SAR shall terminate or be forfeited upon the exercise or forfeiture of the related Option, and the related Option shall terminate or be forfeited upon the exercise or forfeiture of the Tandem SAR.

        (d)    Exercise Price.    The exercise price per Share subject to an Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall be determined by the Committee and set forth in the applicable Award Agreement, and shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of a share of the Common Stock on the applicable Grant Date. In no event may any Option or Stock Appreciation Right granted under this Plan be amended, other than pursuant to Section 3(d), to decrease the exercise price thereof, be cancelled in exchange for cash or other Awards or in conjunction with the grant of any new Option or Stock Appreciation Right with a lower exercise price or otherwise be subject to any action that would be treated under the Applicable Exchange listing standards or for accounting purposes, as a "repricing" of such Option or Stock Appreciation Right, unless such amendment, cancellation, or action is approved by the Company's stockholders.

        (e)    Term.    The Term of each Option and each Stock Appreciation Right shall be fixed by the Committee, but shall not exceed ten years from the Grant Date.

        (f)    Vesting and Exercisability.    Except as otherwise provided herein, Options and Stock Appreciation Rights shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Committee. If the Committee provides that any Option or Stock Appreciation Right will become exercisable only in installments, the Committee may at any time waive such installment exercise provisions, in whole or in part, based on such factors as the Committee may

B-1-7


Table of Contents

determine. In addition, the Committee may at any time accelerate the exercisability of any Option or Stock Appreciation Right.

        (g)    Method of Exercise.    Subject to the provisions of this Section 5, Options and Stock Appreciation Rights may be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time during the applicable Term by giving written notice of exercise to the Company or through the procedures established with the Company's appointed third-party Plan administrator specifying the number of Shares as to which the Option or Stock Appreciation Right is being exercised; provided, however, that, unless otherwise permitted by the Committee, any such exercise must be with respect to a portion of the applicable Option or Stock Appreciation Right relating to no less than the lesser of the number of Shares then subject to such Option or Stock Appreciation Right or 100 Shares. In the case of the exercise of an Option, such notice shall be accompanied by payment in full of the aggregate purchase price (which shall equal the product of such number of Shares subject to such Option multiplied by the applicable per Share exercise price) by certified or bank check or such other instrument as the Company may accept. If approved by the Committee, payment, in full or in part, may also be made as follows:

        (h)    Delivery; Rights of Stockholders.    No Shares shall be delivered pursuant to the exercise of an Optionuntil the exercise price therefor has been fully paid and applicable taxes have been withheld. The applicable Participant shall have all of the rights of a stockholder of the Company holding the class or series of Common Stock that is subject to the Option or Stock Appreciation Right (including, if applicable, the right to vote the applicable Shares and the right to receive dividends), when the Participant (i) has given written notice of exercise, (ii) if requested, has given the representation described in Section 14(a), and (iii) in the case of an Option, has paid in full for such Shares.

B-1-8


Table of Contents

        (i)    Terminations of Employment.    Subject to Section 10(b), a Participant's Options and Stock Appreciation Rights shall be forfeited upon such Participant's Termination of Employment, except as set forth below:

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee shall have the power, in its discretion, to apply different rules concerning the consequences of a Termination of Employment; provided, however, that if such rules are less favorable to the Participant than those set forth above, such rules are set forth in the applicable Award Agreement. If an Incentive Stock Option is exercised after the expiration of the exercise periods that apply for purposes of Section 422 of the Code, such Option will thereafter be treated as a Nonqualified Option.

        (j)    Nontransferability of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights.    No Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall be transferable by a Participant other than (i) by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, or (ii) in the case of a Nonqualified Option or Stock Appreciation Right, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order or as otherwise expressly permitted by the Committee including, if so permitted, pursuant to a transfer to the Participant's family members or to a charitable organization, whether directly or indirectly or by means of a trust or partnership or otherwise. For purposes of this Plan, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, "family member" shall have the meaning given to such term in General Instructions A.1(a)(5) to Form S-8 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any successor thereto. A Tandem SAR shall be transferable only with the related Option as permitted by the preceding sentence. Any Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall be exercisable, subject to the terms of this Plan, only by the applicable Participant, the guardian or legal representative of such Participant, or any person to whom such Option or Stock Appreciation Right is permissibly transferred pursuant to this Section 5(j), it being understood that the term "Participant" includes such guardian, legal representative and other transferee; provided, however, that the term "Termination of Employment" shall continue to refer to the Termination of Employment of the original Participant.

B-1-12


Table of Contents

        (b)    Impact of Event/Double Trigger.    Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement, subject to Sections 3(d), 10(d) and 14(k), notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan to the contrary, upon a Participant's Termination of Employment, during the two-year period following a Change in Control, by the Company other than for Cause or Disability or by the Participant for Good Reason (as defined below):

        (c)   For purposes of this Section 10, "Good Reason" means (i) "Good Reason" as defined in any Individual Agreement or Award Agreement to which the applicable Participant is a party, or (ii) if there is no such Individual Agreement or if it does not define Good Reason, without the Participant's prior written consent: (A) a material reduction in the Participant's rate of annual base salary from the rate of annual base salary in effect for such Participant immediately prior to the Change in Control, (B) a relocation of the Participant's principal place of business more than 35 miles from the city in which such Participant's principal place of business was located immediately prior to the Change in Control or (C) a material and demonstrable adverse change in the nature and scope of the Participant's duties from those in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control. In order to invoke a Termination of Employment for Good Reason, a Participant shall provide written notice to the Company of the existence of one or more of the conditions described in clauses (A) through (C) within 90 days following the Participant's knowledge of the initial existence of such condition or conditions, and the Company shall have 30 days following receipt of such written notice (the "Cure Period") during which it may remedy the condition. In the event that the Company fails to remedy the condition constituting Good Reason during the Cure Period, the Participant must terminate employment, if at all, within 90 days following the Cure Period in order for such Termination of Employment to constitute a Termination of Employment for Good Reason.

B-1-13


Table of Contents

        (d)   Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Award is subject to Section 409A of the Code, this Section 10 shall be applicable only to the extent specifically provided in the Award Agreement or in the Individual Agreement.

SECTION 11. QUALIFIED PERFORMANCE-BASED AWARDS; SECTION 16(b)

        (a)   The provisions of this Plan are intended to ensure that all Options and Stock Appreciation Rights granted hereunder to any Participant who is or may be a "covered employee" (within the meaning of Section 162(m)(3) of the Code) in the tax year in which such Option or Stock Appreciation Right is expected to be deductible to the Company qualify for the Section 162(m) Exemption, and all such Awards shall therefore be considered Qualified Performance-Based Awards and this Plan shall be interpreted and operated consistent with that intention (including, without limitation, to require that all such Awards be granted by a committee composed solely of members who satisfy the requirements for being "outside directors" for purposes of the Section 162(m) Exemption ("Outside Directors")). When granting any Award other than an Option or Stock Appreciation Right, the Committee may designate such Award as a Qualified Performance-Based Award, based upon a determination that (i) the recipient is or may be a "covered employee" (within the meaning of Section 162(m)(3) of the Code) with respect to such Award, and (ii) the Committee wishes such Award to qualify for the Section 162(m) Exemption, and the terms of any such Award (and of the grant thereof) shall be consistent with such designation (including, without limitation, that all such Awards be granted by a committee composed solely of Outside Directors).

        (b)   Each Qualified Performance-Based Award (other than an Option or Stock Appreciation Right) shall be earned, vested and/or payable (as applicable) upon the achievement of one or more Performance Goals, together with the satisfaction of any other conditions, such as continued employment, as the Committee may determine to be appropriate.

        (c)   The full Board shall not be permitted to exercise authority granted to the Committee to the extent that the grant or exercise of such authority would cause an Award designated as a Qualified Performance-Based Award not to qualify for, or to cease to qualify for, the Section 162(m) Exemption.

        (d)   The provisions of this Plan are intended to ensure that no transaction under the Plan is subject to (and all such transactions will be exempt from) the short-swing recovery rules of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act ("Section 16(b)"). Accordingly, the composition of the Committee shall be subject to such limitations as the Board deems appropriate to permit transactions pursuant to this Plan to be exempt (pursuant to Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) from Section 16(b), and no delegation of authority by the Committee shall be permitted if such delegation would cause any such transaction to be subject to (and not exempt from) Section 16(b).

SECTION 12. TERM, AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

        (a)    Effectiveness.    The Board approved this Plan on November 1, 2016. The effective date (the "Effective Date") of this Plan is the date that the Plan is approved by the Company's stockholders.

        (b)    Termination.    The Plan will terminate on the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date. Awards outstanding as of such date shall not be affected or impaired by the termination of the Plan.

        (c)    Amendment of Plan.    The Board may amend, alter, or discontinue the Plan, but no amendment, alteration or discontinuation shall be made which would materially impair the rights of the Participant with respect to a previously granted Award without such Participant's consent, except such an amendment made to comply with applicable law (including without limitation Section 409A of the Code), stock exchange rules or accounting rules. In addition, no amendment shall be made without the approval of the Company's stockholders to the extent such approval is required by applicable law or the listing standards of the Applicable Exchange.

B-1-14


Table of Contents

        (d)    Amendment of Awards.    Subject to Section 5(d), the Committee may unilaterally amend the terms of any Award theretofore granted, but no such amendment shall, without the Participant's consent, materially impair the rights of any Participant with respect to an Award, except such an amendment made to cause the Plan or Award to comply with applicable law, stock exchange rules or accounting rules.

SECTION 13. UNFUNDED STATUS OF PLAN

        It is intended that the Plan constitute an "unfunded" plan. Solely to the extent permitted under Section 409A, the Committee may authorize the creation of trusts or other arrangements to meet the obligations created under the Plan to deliver Common Stock or make payments; provided, however, that the existence of such trusts or other arrangements is consistent with the "unfunded" status of the Plan.

SECTION 14. GENERAL PROVISIONS

        (a)    Conditions for Issuance.    The Committee may require each person purchasing or receiving Shares pursuant to an Award to represent to and agree with the Company in writing that such person is acquiring the Shares without a view to the distribution thereof. The certificates for such Shares may include any legend which the Committee deems appropriate to reflect any restrictions on transfer. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or agreements made pursuant thereto, the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate or certificates for Shares under the Plan prior to fulfillment of all of the following conditions: (i) listing or approval for listing upon notice of issuance, of such Shares on the Applicable Exchange; (ii) any registration or other qualification of such Shares of the Company under any state or federal law or regulation, or the maintaining in effect of any such registration or other qualification which the Committee shall, in its absolute discretion upon the advice of counsel, deem necessary or advisable; and (iii) obtaining any other consent, approval, or permit from any state or federal governmental agency which the Committee shall, in its absolute discretion after receiving the advice of counsel, determine to be necessary or advisable.

        (b)    Additional Compensation Arrangements.    Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements for its employees.

        (c)    No Contract of Employment.    The Plan shall not constitute a contract of employment, and adoption of the Plan shall not confer upon any employee any right to continued employment, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate to terminate the employment of any employee at any time.

        (d)    Required Taxes.    No later than the date as of which an amount first becomes includible in the gross income of a Participant for federal, state, local or foreign income or employment or other tax purposes with respect to any Award under the Plan, such Participant shall pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company regarding the payment of, any federal, state, local or foreign taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such amount. If determined by the Company, withholding obligations may be settled with Common Stock, including Common Stock that is part of the Award that gives rise to the withholding requirement. The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be conditional on such payment or arrangements, and the Company and its Affiliates shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment otherwise due to such Participant. The Committee may establish such procedures as it deems appropriate, including making irrevocable elections, for the settlement of withholding obligations with Common Stock.

        (e)    Limitation on Dividend Reinvestment and Dividend Equivalents.    Reinvestment of dividends in additional Restricted Stock at the time of any dividend payment, and the payment of Shares with respect to dividends to Participants holding Awards of Restricted Stock Units, shall only be permissible

B-1-15


Table of Contents

if sufficient Shares are available under Section 3 for such reinvestment or payment (taking into account then outstanding Awards). In the event that sufficient Shares are not available for such reinvestment or payment, such reinvestment or payment shall be made in the form of a grant of Restricted Stock Units equal in number to the Shares that would have been obtained by such payment or reinvestment, the terms of which Restricted Stock Units shall provide for settlement in cash and for dividend equivalent reinvestment in further Restricted Stock Units on the terms contemplated by this Section 14(e).

        (f)    Designation of Death Beneficiary.    The Committee shall establish such procedures as it deems appropriate for a Participant to designate a beneficiary to whom any amounts payable in the event of such Participant's death are to be paid or by whom any rights of such eligible Individual, after such Participant's death, may be exercised.

        (g)    Subsidiary Employees.    In the case of a grant of an Award to any employee of a Subsidiary, the Company may, if the Committee so directs, issue or transfer the Shares, if any, covered by the Award to the Subsidiary, for such lawful consideration as the Committee may specify, upon the condition or understanding that the Subsidiary will transfer the Shares to the employee in accordance with the terms of the Award specified by the Committee pursuant to the provisions of the Plan. All Shares underlying Awards that are forfeited or canceled shall revert to the Company.

        (h)    Governing Law and Interpretation.    The Plan and all Awards made and actions taken thereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without reference to principles of conflict of laws. The captions of this Plan are not part of the provisions hereof and shall have no force or effect.

        (i)    Non-Transferability.    Except as otherwise provided in Section 5(j) or as determined by the Committee, Awards under the Plan are not transferable except by will or by laws of descent and distribution.

        (j)    Foreign Employees and Foreign Law Considerations.    The Committee may grant Awards to Eligible Individuals who are foreign nationals, who are located outside the United States or who are not compensated from a payroll maintained in the United States, or who are otherwise subject to (or could cause the Company to be subject to) legal or regulatory provisions of countries or jurisdictions outside the United States, on such terms and conditions different from those specified in the Plan as may, in the judgment of the Committee, be necessary or desirable to foster and promote achievement of the purposes of the Plan, and, in furtherance of such purposes, the Committee may make such modifications, amendments, procedures, or subplans as may be necessary or advisable to comply with such legal or regulatory provisions.

        (k)    Section 409A of the Code.    It is the intention of the Company that no Award shall be "deferred compensation" subject to Section 409A of the Code, unless and to the extent that the Committee specifically determines otherwise as provided in this Section 14(k), and the Plan and the terms and conditions of all Awards shall be interpreted accordingly. The terms and conditions governing any Awards that the Committee determines will be subject to Section 409A of the Code, including any rules for elective or mandatory deferral of the delivery of cash or Shares pursuant thereto and any rules regarding treatment of such Awards in the event of a Change in Control, shall be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement, and shall comply in all respects with Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, with respect to any Award that constitutes a "nonqualified deferred compensation plan" subject to Section 409A of the Code, if the Participant is a "specified employee" within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, any payments (whether in cash, Shares or other property) to be made with respect to the Award upon the Participant's Termination of Employment shall be delayed until the earlier of (A) the first day of the seventh month following the Participant's Termination of Employment and (B) the Participant's death. Each payment under any Award shall be treated as a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. In no event may a Participant, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of any payment to be made under any Award.

SECTION 5. OPTIONS AND STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

        (a)    Types of Options.    Options may be of two types: Incentive Stock Options and Nonqualified Options. The Award Agreement for an Option shall indicate whether the Option is intended to be an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonqualified Option.

        (b)    Types and Nature of Stock Appreciation Rights.    Stock Appreciation Rights may be "Tandem SARs," which are granted in conjunction with an Option, or "Free-Standing SARs," which are not granted in conjunction with an Option. Upon the exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, the Participant shall be entitled to receive an amount in cash, Shares, or both, in value equal to the product of (i) the excess of the Fair Market Value of one Share over the exercise price of the applicable Stock Appreciation Right, multiplied by (ii) the number of Shares in respect of which the Stock Appreciation Right has been exercised. The applicable Award Agreement shall specify whether such payment is to be made in cash or Common Stock or both, or shall reserve to the Committee or the Participant the right to make that determination prior to or upon the exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right.

        (c)    Tandem SARs.    A Tandem SAR may be granted at the Grant Date of the related Option. A Tandem SAR shall be exercisable only at such time or times and to the extent that the related Option is exercisable in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5, and shall have the same exercise price as the related Option. A Tandem SAR shall terminate or be forfeited upon the exercise or forfeiture of the related Option, and the related Option shall terminate or be forfeited upon the exercise or forfeiture of the Tandem SAR.

        (d)    Exercise Price.    The exercise price per Share subject to an Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall be determined by the Committee and set forth in the applicable Award Agreement, and shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of a share of the Common Stock on the applicable Grant Date. In no event may any Option or Stock Appreciation Right granted under this Plan be amended, other than pursuant to Section 3(d), to decrease the exercise price thereof, be cancelled in exchange for cash or other Awards or in conjunction with the grant of any new Option or Stock Appreciation Right with a lower exercise price or otherwise be subject to any action that would be treated under the Applicable Exchange listing standards or for accounting purposes, as a "repricing" of such Option or Stock Appreciation Right, unless such amendment, cancellation, or action is approved by the Company's stockholders.

        (e)    Term.    The Term of each Option and each Stock Appreciation Right shall be fixed by the Committee, but shall not exceed ten years from the Grant Date.

        (f)    Vesting and Exercisability.    Except as otherwise provided herein, Options and Stock Appreciation Rights shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Committee. If the Committee provides that any Option or Stock

B-2-7


Table of Contents

Appreciation Right will become exercisable only in installments, the Committee may at any time waive such installment exercise provisions, in whole or in part, based on such factors as the Committee may determine. In addition, the Committee may at any time accelerate the exercisability of any Option or Stock Appreciation Right.

        (g)    Method of Exercise.    Subject to the provisions of this Section 5, Options and Stock Appreciation Rights may be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time during the applicable Term by giving written notice of exercise to the Company or through the procedures established with the Company's appointed third-party Plan administrator specifying the number of Shares as to which the Option or Stock Appreciation Right is being exercised; provided, however, that, unless otherwise permitted by the Committee, any such exercise must be with respect to a portion of the applicable Option or Stock Appreciation Right relating to no less than the lesser of the number of Shares then subject to such Option or Stock Appreciation Right or 100 Shares. In the case of the exercise of an Option, such notice shall be accompanied by payment in full of the aggregate purchase price (which shall equal the product of such number of Shares subject to such Option multiplied by the applicable per Share exercise price) by certified or bank check or such other instrument as the Company may accept. If approved by the Committee, payment, in full or in part, may also be made as follows:

        (h)    Delivery; Rights of Stockholders.    No Shares shall be delivered pursuant to the exercise of an Optionuntil the exercise price therefor has been fully paid and applicable taxes have been withheld. The applicable Participant shall have all of the rights of a stockholder of the Company holding the class or series of Common Stock that is subject to the Option or Stock Appreciation Right (including, if applicable, the right to vote the applicable Shares and the right to receive dividends), when the Participant (i) has given written notice of exercise, (ii) if requested, has given the representation described in Section 14(a), and (iii) in the case of an Option, has paid in full for such Shares.

B-2-8


Table of Contents

        (i)    Terminations of Employment.    Subject to Section 10(b), a Participant's Options and Stock Appreciation Rights shall be forfeited upon such Participant's Termination of Employment, except as set forth below:

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee shall have the power, in its discretion, to apply different rules concerning the consequences of a Termination of Employment; provided, however, that if such rules are less favorable to the Participant than those set forth above, such rules are set forth in the applicable Award Agreement. If an Incentive Stock Option is exercised after the expiration of the exercise periods that apply for purposes of Section 422 of the Code, such Option will thereafter be treated as a Nonqualified Option.

        (j)    Nontransferability of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights.    No Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall be transferable by a Participant other than (i) by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, or (ii) in the case of a Nonqualified Option or Stock Appreciation Right, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order or as otherwise expressly permitted by the Committee including, if so permitted, pursuant to a transfer to the Participant's family members or to a charitable organization, whether directly or indirectly or by means of a trust or partnership or otherwise. For purposes of this Plan, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, "family member" shall have the meaning given to such term in General Instructions A.1(a)(5) to Form S-8 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any successor thereto. A Tandem SAR shall be transferable only with the related Option as permitted by the preceding sentence. Any Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall be exercisable, subject to the terms of this Plan, only by the applicable Participant, the guardian or legal representative of such Participant, or any person to whom such Option or Stock Appreciation Right is permissibly transferred pursuant to this Section 5(j), it being understood that the term "Participant" includes such guardian, legal representative and other transferee; provided, however, that the term "Termination of Employment" shall continue to refer to the Termination of Employment of the original Participant.

In the event that the Company fails to remedy the condition constituting Good Reason during the Cure Period, the Participant must terminate employment, if at all, within 90 days following the Cure Period in order for such Termination of Employment to constitute a Termination of Employment for Good Reason.

        (d)   Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Award is subject to Section 409A of the Code, this Section 10 shall be applicable only to the extent specifically provided in the Award Agreement or in the Individual Agreement.

SECTION 11. QUALIFIED PERFORMANCE-BASED AWARDS; SECTION 16(b)

        (a)   The provisions of this Plan are intended to ensure that all Options and Stock Appreciation Rights granted hereunder to any Participant who is or may be a "covered employee" (within the meaning of Section 162(m)(3) of the Code) in the tax year in which such Option or Stock Appreciation Right is expected to be deductible to the Company qualify for the Section 162(m) Exemption, and all such Awards shall therefore be considered Qualified Performance-Based Awards and this Plan shall be interpreted and operated consistent with that intention (including, without limitation, to require that all such Awards be granted by a committee composed solely of members who satisfy the requirements for being "outside directors" for purposes of the Section 162(m) Exemption ("Outside Directors")). When granting any Award other than an Option or Stock Appreciation Right, the Committee may designate such Award as a Qualified Performance-Based Award, based upon a determination that (i) the recipient is or may be a "covered employee" (within the meaning of Section 162(m)(3) of the Code) with respect to such Award, and (ii) the Committee wishes such Award to qualify for the Section 162(m) Exemption, and the terms of any such Award (and of the grant thereof) shall be consistent with such designation (including, without limitation, that all such Awards be granted by a committee composed solely of Outside Directors).

        (b)   Each Qualified Performance-Based Award (other than an Option or Stock Appreciation Right) shall be earned, vested and/or payable (as applicable) upon the achievement of one or more Performance Goals, together with the satisfaction of any other conditions, such as continued employment, as the Committee may determine to be appropriate.

        (c)   The full Board shall not be permitted to exercise authority granted to the Committee to the extent that the grant or exercise of such authority would cause an Award designated as a Qualified Performance-Based Award not to qualify for, or to cease to qualify for, the Section 162(m) Exemption.

        (d)   The provisions of this Plan are intended to ensure that no transaction under the Plan is subject to (and all such transactions will be exempt from) the short-swing recovery rules of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act ("Section 16(b)"). Accordingly, the composition of the Committee shall be subject to such limitations as the Board deems appropriate to permit transactions pursuant to this Plan to be exempt (pursuant to Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) from Section 16(b), and no delegation of authority by the Committee shall be permitted if such delegation would cause any such transaction to be subject to (and not exempt from) Section 16(b).

SECTION 12. TERM, AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

        (a)    Effectiveness.    The Board approved this Plan on February 14, 2013 November 1, 2016. The effective date (the "Effective Date") of this Plan is the date that the Plan is approved by the Company's stockholders.

        (b)    Termination.    The Plan will terminate on the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date. Awards outstanding as of such date shall not be affected or impaired by the termination of the Plan.

        (c)    Amendment of Plan.    The Board may amend, alter, or discontinue the Plan, but no amendment, alteration or discontinuation shall be made which would materially impair the rights of the Participant with respect to a previously granted Award without such Participant's consent, except such an amendment made to comply with applicable law (including without limitation Section 409A of the Code), stock exchange rules or accounting rules. In addition, no amendment shall be made without the approval of the Company's stockholders to the extent such approval is required by applicable law or the listing standards of the Applicable Exchange.

Table of Contents

        (d)    Amendment of Awards.    Subject to Section 5(d), the Committee may unilaterally amend the terms of any Award theretofore granted, but no such amendment shall, without the Participant's consent, materially impair the rights of any Participant with respect to an Award, except such an amendment made to cause the Plan or Award to comply with applicable law, stock exchange rules or accounting rules.

SECTION 13. UNFUNDED STATUS OF PLAN

        It is intended that the Plan constitute an "unfunded" plan. Solely to the extent permitted under Section 409A, the Committee may authorize the creation of trusts or other arrangements to meet the obligations created under the Plan to deliver Common Stock or make payments; provided, however, that the existence of such trusts or other arrangements is consistent with the "unfunded" status of the Plan.

SECTION 14. GENERAL PROVISIONS

        (a)    Conditions for Issuance.    The Committee may require each person purchasing or receiving Shares pursuant to an Award to represent to and agree with the Company in writing that such person is acquiring the Shares without a view to the distribution thereof. The certificates for such Shares may include any legend which the Committee deems appropriate to reflect any restrictions on transfer. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or agreements made pursuant thereto, the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate or certificates for Shares under the Plan prior to fulfillment of all of the following conditions: (i) listing or approval for listing upon notice of issuance, of such Shares on the Applicable Exchange; (ii) any registration or other qualification of such Shares of the Company under any state or federal law or regulation, or the maintaining in effect of any such registration or other qualification which the Committee shall, in its absolute discretion upon the advice of counsel, deem necessary or advisable; and (iii) obtaining any other consent, approval, or permit from any state or federal governmental agency which the Committee shall, in its absolute discretion after receiving the advice of counsel, determine to be necessary or advisable.

        (b)    Additional Compensation Arrangements.    Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate from adopting other or additional compensation arrangements for its employees.

        (c)    No Contract of Employment.    The Plan shall not constitute a contract of employment, and adoption of the Plan shall not confer upon any employee any right to continued employment, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate to terminate the employment of any employee at any time.

        (d)    Required Taxes.    No later than the date as of which an amount first becomes includible in the gross income of a Participant for federal, state, local or foreign income or employment or other tax purposes with respect to any Award under the Plan, such Participant shall pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company regarding the payment of, any federal, state, local or foreign taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such amount. If determined by the Company, withholding obligations may be settled with Common Stock, including Common Stock that is part of the Award that gives rise to the withholding requirement. The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be conditional on such payment or arrangements, and the Company and its Affiliates shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment otherwise due to such Participant. The Committee may establish such procedures as it deems appropriate, including making irrevocable elections, for the settlement of withholding obligations with Common Stock.

        (e)    Limitation on Dividend Reinvestment and Dividend Equivalents.    Reinvestment of dividends in additional Restricted Stock at the time of any dividend payment, and the payment of Shares with respect to dividends to Participants holding Awards of Restricted Stock Units, shall only be permissible

B-2-15


Table of Contents

if sufficient Shares are available under Section 3 for such reinvestment or payment (taking into account then outstanding Awards). In the event that sufficient Shares are not available for such reinvestment or payment, such reinvestment or payment shall be made in the form of a grant of Restricted Stock Units equal in number to the Shares that would have been obtained by such payment or reinvestment, the terms of which Restricted Stock Units shall provide for settlement in cash and for dividend equivalent reinvestment in further Restricted Stock Units on the terms contemplated by this Section 14(e).

        (f)    Designation of Death Beneficiary.    The Committee shall establish such procedures as it deems appropriate for a Participant to designate a beneficiary to whom any amounts payable in the event of such Participant's death are to be paid or by whom any rights of such eligible Individual, after such Participant's death, may be exercised.

        (g)    Subsidiary Employees.    In the case of a grant of an Award to any employee of a Subsidiary, the Company may, if the Committee so directs, issue or transfer the Shares, if any, covered by the Award to the Subsidiary, for such lawful consideration as the Committee may specify, upon the condition or understanding that the Subsidiary will transfer the Shares to the employee in accordance with the terms of the Award specified by the Committee pursuant to the provisions of the Plan. All Shares underlying Awards that are forfeited or canceled shall revert to the Company.

        (h)    Governing Law and Interpretation.    The Plan and all Awards made and actions taken thereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without reference to principles of conflict of laws. The captions of this Plan are not part of the provisions hereof and shall have no force or effect.

        (i)    Non-Transferability.    Except as otherwise provided in Section 5(j) or as determined by the Committee, Awards under the Plan are not transferable except by will or by laws of descent and distribution.

        (j)    Foreign Employees and Foreign Law Considerations.    The Committee may grant Awards to Eligible Individuals who are foreign nationals, who are located outside the United States or who are not compensated from a payroll maintained in the United States, or who are otherwise subject to (or could cause the Company to be subject to) legal or regulatory provisions of countries or jurisdictions outside the United States, on such terms and conditions different from those specified in the Plan as may, in the judgment of the Committee, be necessary or desirable to foster and promote achievement of the purposes of the Plan, and, in furtherance of such purposes, the Committee may make such modifications, amendments, procedures, or subplans as may be necessary or advisable to comply with such legal or regulatory provisions.

        (k)    Section 409A of the Code.    It is the intention of the Company that no Award shall be "deferred compensation" subject to Section 409A of the Code, unless and to the extent that the Committee specifically determines otherwise as provided in this Section 14(k), and the Plan and the terms and conditions of all Awards shall be interpreted accordingly. The terms and conditions governing any Awards that the Committee determines will be subject to Section 409A of the Code, including any rules for elective or mandatory deferral of the delivery of cash or Shares pursuant thereto and any rules regarding treatment of such Awards in the event of a Change in Control, shall be set forth in the applicable Award Agreement, and shall comply in all respects with Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, with respect to any Award that constitutes a "nonqualified deferred compensation plan" subject to Section 409A of the Code, if the Participant is a "specified employee" within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, any payments (whether in cash, Shares or other property) to be made with respect to the Award upon the Participant's Termination of Employment shall be delayed until the earlier of (A) the first day of the seventh month following the Participant's Termination of Employment and (B) the Participant's death. Each payment under any Award shall be treated as a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. In no event may a Participant, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of any payment to be made under any Award.
