Deferred Compensation Plan financial

"credited to the reporting person pursuant to the 2020 Match Group, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors"

A deferred compensation plan is an arrangement where an employer agrees to pay part of an employee’s pay or bonus at a later date instead of immediately, often to reduce current tax bills or to tie rewards to long-term performance. For investors it matters because these promises create future cash obligations and influence executive incentives and retention; they can affect a company’s reported liabilities, cash flow planning and the risk profile if the business faces financial trouble.

share units financial

"Represents share units (rounded to the nearest whole number) credited to the reporting person"

Non-Employee Directors financial

"Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors as of the date of this report"

Non-employee directors are board members who do not work for the company as salaried employees and usually do not hold day-to-day management roles. They act like outside referees or independent coaches, providing oversight, asking tough questions, and protecting shareholders’ interests; investors care because these directors help ensure management is accountable, reduce conflicts of interest, and influence decisions that affect company strategy and long-term value.
