POWER OF ATTORNEY
The undersigned hereby constitutes and appoints each of Katharine
Pierce, Ryan Quinn, John Henson and Carla Shumate, signing singly, as the
undersigned's true and lawful attorney-in-fact to:
(1) execute for and on behalf of the undersigned, in the undersigned's
capacity as an officer and/or director of LendingTree, Inc. (the "Company"),
Forms 3, 4 and 5 in accordance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 and the rules thereunder (the "Exchange Act"), as well as the Form ID to
obtain and/or renew EDGAR codes for use in connection with the filing of Forms
3, 4 and 5 and any other related documentation;
(2) do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf of the undersigned
which may be necessary or desirable to complete and execute any such Form 3, 4
or 5, Form ID or other related documentation, complete and execute any amendment
or amendments thereto, and timely file such forms or documentation with the
United States Securities and Exchange Commission and any stock exchange or
similar authority;
(3) take any other action of any type whatsoever in connection with the
foregoing which, in the opinion of such attorney-in-fact, may be of benefit to,
in the best interest of, or legally required by, the undersigned, it being
understood that the documents executed by such attorney-in-fact on behalf of the
undersigned pursuant to this Power of Attorney shall be in such form and shall
contain such terms and conditions as such attorney-in-fact may approve in such
attorney-in-fact's discretion; and
(4) in connection with the preparation and filing of Forms 3, 4 and 5,
seek or obtain, as the undersigned's attorney-in-fact and on the undersigned's
behalf, information regarding transactions in the Company's securities from any
third party, including brokers, employee benefit plan administrators and
trustees, and the undersigned hereby authorizes any such person to release any
such information to such attorney-in-fact and approves and ratifies any such
release of information.
The undersigned hereby grants to each such attorney-in-fact full power
and authority to do and perform any and every act and thing whatsoever
requisite, necessary, or proper to be done in connection with the exercise of
any of the rights and powers herein granted, as fully to all intents and
purposes as the undersigned might or could do if personally present, with full
power of substitution or revocation, herby ratifying and confirming all that
such attorney-in-fact, or such attorney-in-fact's substitute or substitutes,
shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue of this Power of Attorney and
the rights and powers herein granted. The undersigned acknowledges that the
foregoing attorneys-in-fact, in serving in such capacity at the request of the
undersigned, are not assuming, nor is the Company assuming, any of the
undersigned's responsibilities to comply with Section 16 of the Exchange Act.
This Power of Attorney shall remain in full force and effect until the
undersigned is no longer required to file Forms 3, 4, and 5 with respect to the
undersigned's holdings of and transactions in securities issued by the Company,
unless earlier revoked by the undersigned in a signed writing delivered to the
foregoing attorneys-in-fact.
This Power of Attorney does not relieve the undersigned from
responsibility for compliance with the undersigned's obligations under the
Exchange Act, including, without limitation, the reporting requirements under
Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Additionally, although pursuant to this Power of
Attorney the Company will use commercially reasonable best efforts to timely and
accurately file Section 16 reports on behalf of the undersigned, the Company
does not represent or warrant that it will be able to in all cases timely and
accurately file Section 16 reports on behalf of the undersigned due to various
factors, including, but not limited to, the shorter deadlines mandated by the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, possible time zone differences between the Company
and the undersigned and the Company's need to rely on other parties for
information, including the undersigned and brokers of the undersigned.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned had caused this Power of Attorney to
be executed as of this __ day of August 2018.
