Introductory Note.
This Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed in connection with the closing on June 30, 2020 of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement (the “Transaction Agreement”), dated as of December 19, 2019 and amended as of April 28, 2020 and June 22, 2020, by and among the Registrant and certain other parties thereto.
On June 30, 2020, pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, the businesses of the company formerly known as Match Group, Inc. (“Old Match”) were separated from the remaining businesses of the company formerly known as IAC/InterActiveCorp (“Old IAC”) through a series of transactions (the “Separation”) that resulted in the pre-transaction stockholders of Old IAC owning shares in two, separate public companies—Old IAC, which was renamed “Match Group, Inc.” (and which we refer to as “New Match”) and which retained the businesses of Old Match and certain Old IAC financing subsidiaries, and the Registrant, which was renamed “IAC/InterActiveCorp” and which retained Old IAC’s other businesses—and the pre-transaction stockholders of Old Match (other than Old IAC) owning shares in New Match.
The Registrant (also referred to in this Current Report as the “Company”) is now an independent public company, and its common stock, par value $0.001 per share and CUSIP number 44891N109, began trading under the symbol “IAC” on The Nasdaq Global Select Market on July 1, 2020. The Registrant’s Class B common stock, par value $0.001 per share is not publicly traded.
Item 5.05. | Amendments to the Registrant’s Code of Ethics, or Waiver of a Provision of the Code of Ethics. |
In connection with the Separation, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) adopted a Code of Ethics, a copy of which is available on the Company’s website. The information on the Company’s website does not constitute part of this Current Report on Form 8-K and is not incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.07. | Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders. |
On June 30, 2020, Old IAC, in its capacity as the Company’s sole stockholder, acted by written consent to elect the members of the Board as set forth in the first paragraph under the heading “Appointment of Directors” under Item 5.02 of the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on July 2, 2020, which information is incorporated by reference herein.
