Item 8.01.              Other Events.

 

On May 30, 2011, Match.com (“Match.com”), a subsidiary of IAC/InterActiveCorp (“IAC” or the “Registrant”), announced that it (through a wholly-owned affiliate) intends to launch a voluntary public tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) for all of the outstanding shares of Meetic S.A., a French stock corporation (“Meetic”) that it does not currently own, at a price of €15.00 per share in cash (the “Offer Price”).  Match.com currently owns approximately 6.1 million Meetic shares.

 

In connection with the Tender Offer, Match.com entered into a binding agreement with Meetic’s founder and Chairman, Marc Simoncini, pursuant to which Mr. Simoncini agreed to tender approximately 3.7 million Meetic shares currently held by him at the Offer Price (the “Simoncini Shares”).  Mr. Simoncini will retain approximately 1.6 million Meetic shares following the completion of the Tender Offer.

 

The amount of cash ultimately paid to holders of Meetic shares in connection with the Tender Offer will depend upon the total number of Meetic shares actually tendered in response to the offer. The maximum amount of cash that could potentially be paid to holders of Meetic shares in connection with the Tender Offer is approximately €230 million (approximately $332 million at current exchange rates), which amount assumes the tender of all outstanding shares of Meetic as of the date of the announcement (other than the 6.1 million Meetic shares already owned by Match and the 1.6 million Meetic shares to be retained by Mr. Simoncini immediately following the completion of the Tender Offer).

 

The Tender Offer is subject to customary regulatory approvals.  IAC currently expects that the Tender Offer, if approved, will commence in early July 2011 and be completed by the end of the quarter ending September 30, 2011.

 

On May 30, 2011, IAC issued a press release relating to the Tender Offer, which is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
