On August 14, 2017, Match Group, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into the Incremental Assumption Agreement and Amendment No.4 (the “Fourth Amendment”) to that certain credit agreement, dated as of October 7, 2015, as amended and restated as of November 16, 2015, as further amended as of December 16, 2015, as further amended as of December 8, 2016, with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and certain lenders party thereto (the “Existing Credit Agreement” and, as amended by the Fourth Amendment, the “Amended Credit Agreement”).

In connection with the Fourth Amendment, the Company prepaid its existing term loans in full and borrowed incremental term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $425.0 million. As of the date of this report, $425.0 million aggregate principal amount is outstanding under the term loan facility and $25 million is outstanding under the revolving facility, each under the Amended Credit Agreement.

The Fourth Amendment reduced the applicable interest rate margin by 0.75% per annum and reduced the LIBOR floor by 0.75% per annum so that amounts outstanding under the Company's term loan facility bear interest, at the Company's option, at (i) LIBOR plus 2.50% per annum with a LIBOR floor of 0.00% per annum or (ii) a base rate plus 1.50% per annum. No regular amortization is required with respect to amounts outstanding under the term loan facility.

The restrictive covenants, maturity date and events of default in the Amended Credit Agreement are unchanged from the provisions in the Existing Credit Agreement, except that the parties modified the restrictive covenant relating to activities of the Company.

The foregoing description of the Fourth Amendment is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Fourth Amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit10.1, and incorporated herein by reference.
