Any payment to be made pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be made no later than July 15 following the applicable calendar year. Any calculations made by IAC pursuant to this Section 4.1(b) shall be final and binding upon SpinCo and the calculations contemplated by this Section 4.1(b) shall be adjusted to take into account any calendar year in which participation by SpinCo Employees and Former SpinCo Employees in the IAC Health and Welfare Plans is for less than the full calendar year.

EQUITY AWARD ADJUSTMENTS

 

6.1              IAC Long-Term Incentive Plans. IAC and SpinCo shall take all actions necessary or appropriate so that each outstanding IAC Option and IAC RSU Award granted under any IAC Long-Term Incentive Plan held by any individual shall be adjusted as set forth in this ARTICLE VI. The adjustments set forth below shall be the sole adjustments made with respect to IAC Options and IAC RSU Awards in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Separation Agreement.

 

(a)               Outstanding IAC Options. As determined by the Compensation and Human Resources Committee of the IAC Board of Directors (the “IAC Committee”) pursuant to its authority under the applicable IAC Long-Term Incentive Plan, each IAC Option that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Mandatory Exchange Effective Time shall be converted into both an IAC Option and a SpinCo Option and shall otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions after the Mandatory Exchange Effective Time as the terms and conditions applicable to such IAC Option immediately prior to the Mandatory Exchange Effective Time; provided, however, that from and after the Mandatory Exchange Effective Time:

 

(i)                 (A) the number of shares of IAC Common Stock subject to such IAC Option shall be equal to the same number of shares of IAC Common Stock subject to such IAC Option immediately prior to the Mandatory Exchange Effective Time, and (B) the per share exercise price of such IAC Option, rounded up to the nearest one one hundredth of a cent (i.e., to the fourth decimal place), shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (I) the per share exercise price of such IAC Option immediately prior to the Mandatory Exchange Effective Time by (II) the IAC Ratio; and

 

(ii)              (A) the number of shares of SpinCo Common Stock subject to such SpinCo Option, rounded down to the nearest whole share, shall be equal to the product obtained by multiplying (I) the number of shares of IAC Common Stock subject to such IAC Option immediately prior to the Mandatory Exchange Effective Time by (II) the Spin-off Exchange Ratio, and (B) the per share exercise price of such SpinCo Option, rounded up to the nearest one one hundredth of a cent (i.e., to the fourth decimal place), shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (I) the per share exercise price of such IAC Option immediately prior to the Mandatory Exchange Effective Time by (II) the SpinCo Ratio.

 

(b)               IAC RSU Awards. As determined by the IAC Committee pursuant to its authority under the applicable IAC Long-Term Incentive Plan, each IAC RSU Award shall be subject to the same terms and conditions immediately after the Mandatory Exchange Effective Time as the terms and conditions applicable to such IAC RSU Award immediately prior to the Mandatory Exchange Effective Time; provided, however, that from and after the Mandatory Exchange Effective Time, the number of shares of IAC Common Stock covered by each IAC RSU Award, rounded to the nearest whole share, shall be equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of IAC Common Stock covered by such IAC RSU Award immediately prior to the Mandatory Exchange Effective Time and (ii) the IAC Ratio.

 

12

 

 

(c)               Foreign Grants/Awards.

 

(i)                 To the extent that any of the IAC Options or IAC RSU Awards are granted to non-U.S. employees under any domestic or foreign equity-based incentive program sponsored by an IAC Entity, IAC and SpinCo shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to preserve, at and after the Mandatory Exchange Effective Time, the value and tax treatment accorded to such IAC Options and such IAC RSU Awards granted to non-U.S. employees under any domestic or foreign equity-based incentive program sponsored by an IAC Entity.

 

(ii)              To the extent that any of the SpinCo Options or SpinCo RSU Awards are granted to non-U.S. employees under any domestic or foreign equity-based incentive program sponsored by a SpinCo Entity, IAC and SpinCo shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to preserve, at and after the Mandatory Exchange Effective Time, the value and tax treatment accorded to such SpinCo Options and such SpinCo RSU Awards granted to non-U.S. employees under any domestic or foreign equity-based incentive program sponsored by a SpinCo Entity.

 

6.2              Vimeo.com, Inc. Equity Awards.

 

(a)               Spin-off. As determined by the IAC Committee and the Board of Directors of Vimeo.com, Inc. pursuant to its authority under the Vimeo Long-Term Incentive Plans, from and after the Mandatory Exchange Effective Time, Vimeo SARs and Vimeo RSUs shall not be settled in shares of IAC Common Stock and IAC shall have no further obligations regarding Vimeo SARs and Vimeo RSUs, which shall, until the occurrence of the Effective Time, be settled in cash or shares of SpinCo Common Stock consistent with the principles set forth in the applicable Vimeo Long-Term Incentive Plan.

 

(b)               Merger.

 

(i)                 As determined by the IAC Committee and the Board of Directors of Vimeo.com, Inc. pursuant to its authority under the Vimeo Long-Term Incentive Plans, each Vimeo SAR held by a SpinCo Employee or a Former SpinCo Employee shall be converted into a SpinCo SAR and shall otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions after the Effective Time as the terms and conditions applicable to such Vimeo SAR immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that from and after the Effective Time: (A) the number of shares of SpinCo Common Stock subject to such SpinCo SAR, rounded down to the nearest whole share, shall be equal to the product of (I) the number of shares of Vimeo Common Stock subject to such Vimeo SAR immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (II) the Merger Exchange Ratio, (B) the per share exercise price of such SpinCo SAR, rounded up to the nearest one one hundredth of a cent (i.e., to the fourth decimal place), shall be equal to the quotient of (I) the per share exercise price of such Vimeo SAR immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (II) the Merger Exchange Ratio, and (C) each SpinCo SAR converted pursuant to this Section 6.2(b)(i) shall be exercisable and shall be settled in a manner consistent with stock appreciation rights of a publicly traded company as set forth in the SpinCo Long-Term Incentive Plan (with such modifications and lock-up periods as may be reasonably determined by the SpinCo Board of Directors from time to time).

(ii)              As determined by the Board of Directors of Vimeo.com, Inc. pursuant to its authority under the Vimeo Long-Term Incentive Plans, each Vimeo RSU held by a SpinCo Employee or a Former SpinCo Employee shall be converted into a SpinCo RSU and shall otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions after the Effective Time as the terms and conditions applicable to such Vimeo RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that, from and after the Effective Time: (A) the number of shares of SpinCo Common Stock subject to such SpinCo RSU, rounded to the nearest whole share, shall be equal to the product of (I) the number of shares of Vimeo Common Stock subject to such Vimeo RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (II) the Merger Exchange Ratio, and (B) each SpinCo RSU converted pursuant to this Section 6.2(b)(ii) shall be settled in a manner consistent with restricted stock units of a publicly traded company as set forth in the Vimeo Long-Term Incentive Plan (with such modifications and lock-up periods as may be reasonably determined by the SpinCo Board of Directors from time to time).

 

(iii)            Following the Effective Time, for any award adjusted under this Section 6.2, any reference to a “change in control,” “change of control,” or similar definition in an award agreement, employment agreement, or the applicable Vimeo Long-Term Incentive plan shall be deemed to refer to a Change in Control (as defined in the SpinCo Long-Term Incentive Plan).

 

6.3              Miscellaneous Option and Other Award Terms.

 

(a)               IAC Options and IAC RSU Awards adjusted pursuant to Section 6.1, regardless of by whom held, shall be settled by IAC pursuant to the terms of the applicable IAC Long-Term Incentive Plan, and SpinCo RSUs, SpinCo Options and SpinCo SARs, regardless of by whom held, shall be settled by SpinCo pursuant to the terms of the applicable SpinCo Long-Term Incentive Plan.

 

(b)               It is intended that, to the extent of the issuance of SpinCo Options, SpinCo SARs and SpinCo RSUs in connection with the adjustment provisions of Section 6.1 or Section 6.2, the applicable SpinCo Long-Term Incentive Plan shall be considered a successor to each of the IAC Long-Term Incentive Plans and each of the Vimeo Long-Term Incentive Plans, as applicable, and SpinCo shall be considered to have assumed the obligations of the applicable IAC Long-Term Incentive Plan and the applicable Vimeo Long-Term Incentive Plan, as applicable, to make the adjustments set forth in Section 6.1 and Section 6.2.

 

(c)               The Mandatory Exchange Effective Time shall not constitute a termination of employment for any IAC Employee for purposes of any SpinCo Option and, employment with IAC shall be treated as employment with SpinCo with respect to SpinCo Options held by IAC Employees.

 

14

 

 

(d)               The Mandatory Exchange Effective Time shall not constitute a termination of employment for any employee of the Match Group, Inc. (“Match”) for purposes of any SpinCo Option and, employment with Match shall be treated as employment with SpinCo with respect to SpinCo Options held by Match employees.

 

(e)               The Mandatory Exchange Effective Time shall not constitute a termination of employment for any SpinCo Employee for purposes of any IAC Option and, employment with SpinCo shall be treated as employment with IAC with respect to IAC Options held by SpinCo Employees.

For the avoidance of doubt, as required by Section 6.1(a) of this Agreement, SpinCo Options resulting from the adjustments contemplated by Section 6.1(a) of this Agreement shall have the same post-termination exercise periods as the corresponding IAC Options. If, after the date of this Agreement, IAC extends the post-termination exercise period applicable to any IAC Option that is adjusted pursuant to Section 6.1(a) of this Agreement, then, subject to IAC providing written notice to SpinCo of such extension, SpinCo will provide for the same extended post-termination exercise period for the corresponding SpinCo Option.

 

6.4              Waiting Period for Exercisability of Options and Settlement of RSU Awards. The IAC Options and SpinCo Options shall not be exercisable during a period beginning on a date prior to the Mandatory Exchange Effective Time determined by IAC in its sole discretion, and continuing until the IAC Post-Separation Value and the SpinCo Post-Separation Value are determined, or such longer period as IAC, with respect to IAC Options, and SpinCo, with respect to SpinCo Options, determines is necessary to implement the provisions of this Article VI.
