Match Group shareholders reject say-on-pay proposal at June 16 annual meeting
At its June 16, 2026 annual meeting, Match Group stockholders did not approve, on an advisory basis, the pay of the named executive officers for fiscal 2025, with more votes against than in favor. Stockholders also approved an amendment to the 2024 stock and incentive plan, adding 6,250,000 shares, and elected four directors, so shareholders should note the rejected pay vote as a signal of concern about executive compensation.
