MatchCo Options | | Executive previously was granted options (“MatchCo Options”) to purchase Match.com, Inc. (“MatchCo”) common stock. To better align Executive’s overall incentive compensation with his new role as CEO of IAC, Executive and IAC agreed that some reduction in Executive’s outstanding Match Equity awards was desirable. Accordingly, IAC and Executive have agreed as follows: · With respect to the MatchCo Options granted on February 18, 2009, subject to Executive’s continued employment with IAC through the original February 18, 2011 vesting date, IAC and Executive have agreed to settle for an aggregate value of approximately $15.5 million (i) 50% of the fair market value MatchCo Option and (ii) 50% of the premium price MatchCo Option. The terms of the MatchCo Options provide for settlement on a net basis and give the Company the right to elect to pay the settlement amount in cash or in shares of IAC common stock. Although Executive requested cash settlement for financial planning purposes, the Committee determined that the settlement amount will be paid in shares of IAC common stock. Accordingly, Executive int ends promptly to sell the settlement shares upon receipt. Executive has not sold any IAC equity since he joined IAC in 2003. · The remaining unvested MatchCo Options granted on February 18, 2009, as well as the MatchCo Option granted on February 16, 2010, will continue to be subject to their existing terms, with such modifications as are appropriate to reflect Executive’s change in role. After giving effect to the vesting in February 2011 of previously granted restricted stock units, the sale of the settlement shares and the grant of the new IAC equity awards described above, Executive will hold approximately 183,754 shares of IAC common stock, options to purchase 1,286,460 shares of IAC common stock, up to 381,910 IAC restricted stock units and MatchCo Options with respect to 182 shares of MatchCo common stock, representing more than 50% of Executive’s initial equity interest in MatchCo. |
Termination of Employment due to death or disability | | In the event of Executive’s termination of employment as a result of death or disability after the first anniversary of the Effective Date and prior to the second anniversary of the Effective Date, (a) 25% of the IAC Option will vest, and (b) a number of IAC RSUs equal to 62,500 times the Market Ratio will vest. |
Termination of Employment without cause or for good reason | | In the event of a termination of Executive’s employment with IAC by IAC without “cause” or a termination of Executive’s employment with IAC by Executive for “good reason” (each as defined in Executive’s employment agreement), Executive will be entitled to the payments and benefits set forth below. |
