Dividend equivalents financial

"Dividend equivalents convert into common stock on a one-for-one basis."

Payments tied to employee or contractor equity awards that mirror the cash dividends paid on the company’s stock; they give the holder the same economic benefit as owning the shares without transferring actual shares—often paid in cash or additional award units when the award becomes payable. Investors care because these payments affect a company’s compensation costs, cash flow and potential share dilution, and they signal how management is being rewarded and aligned with shareholders.

Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors financial

"accrued under the 2020 Match Group, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors"

restricted stock units financial

"The dividend equivalents accrued on restricted stock units that vest on the earlier of (i) June 18, 2026"

Restricted stock units are a type of company reward where employees are promised shares of stock, but they only fully own these shares after meeting certain conditions, like staying with the company for a set time. They matter because they can become valuable assets and are often used to motivate employees to help the company succeed.

Annual Stockholder Meeting financial

"the date of the next Annual Stockholder Meeting of Match Group, Inc. following the grant date"

An annual stockholder meeting is a yearly gathering where a company's owners (shareholders) receive updates on performance, vote on key issues like board members, executive pay and major corporate plans, and ask questions of management. Think of it as a company town hall where choices about oversight and direction are decided; outcomes can affect management accountability, corporate strategy and ultimately the value and risks of investors’ shares.
