CAVENS DARRELL 4

What Happened
Darrell Cavens, a director of Match Group (MTCH), was credited with two awards on Jan 21, 2026: 8 shares of common stock acquired at $31.02 each (total value $248) and 52 dividend-equivalent share units recorded at $0.00 (derivative units). These awards were granted under the 2020 Match Group Deferred Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors and represent dividend-related credits rather than an open-market purchase.

Key Details

• Transaction date: January 21, 2026; Form 4 filed January 23, 2026 (timely).
• Awards: 8 shares @ $31.02 (total $248) and 52 share units (derivative, $0 reported).
• Shares owned after transaction: not explicitly stated in the filing; the report notes 1,247 share units accrued under the deferred compensation plan as of the report date.
• Footnotes: F1–F4 explain these are share units credited for the cash dividend paid Jan 21, 2026; dividend equivalents convert 1-for-1 into common stock; some dividend equivalents relate to restricted stock units that vest on the earlier of June 18, 2026 or the next Annual Meeting, subject to continued service.

Context
These entries reflect dividend-equivalent credits under a director deferred compensation plan (routine, non-market purchases). The cash value reported is very small ($248) and the 52 derivative units are dividend credits that convert to stock on a one-for-one basis per the filing. Such awards are common for non-employee directors and do not necessarily indicate a change in insider sentiment.
