Business OVERVIEW Who We Are IAC operates Vimeo, Dotdash and Care.com, among many other businesses, and also has majority ownership of ANGI Homeservices, which operates HomeAdvisor, Angie’s List and Handy. As used herein, “IAC,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” “us” and other similar terms refer to IAC/ InterActiveCorp and its subsidiaries (unless the context requires otherwise). Our History IAC began as a hybrid media/electronic retailing company over twenty-five years ago. Since then, IAC (directly and through predecessor entities) has transformed itself into a leading Internet company through the development, building, acquisition and distribution to its stockholders of a number of businesses over two decades, and IAC continues to build companies and invest opportunistically. From and after the late 1990s, we acquired a number of e-commerce companies, including Ticketmaster Group, Hotel Reservations Network (later renamed Hotels.com), Expedia.com, Match.com, LendingTree, TripAdvisor, HomeAdvisor and AskJeeves, as well as Interval International. In 2005, we completed the separation of our travel and travel-related businesses and investments into an independent public company called Expedia, Inc. (now known as Expedia Group, Inc.). In 2008, we separated into five independent, publicly traded companies: IAC, HSN, Inc. (now part of Qurate Retail, Inc.), Interval Leisure Group, Inc. (now part of Marriott Vacations Worldwide Corporation), Ticketmaster (now part of Live Nation, Inc.) and Tree.com, Inc. (now LendingTree, Inc.). Following this transaction, we continued to invest in and acquire e-commerce companies, including About.com (now known as Dotdash) and a number of online dating companies in the United States and various jurisdictions abroad. In 2017, we completed the combination of the businesses in our former HomeAdvisor financial reporting segment with those of Angie’s List, Inc. under a new publicly traded holding company that we control, ANGI Homeservices Inc. (“ANGI Homeservices”). And in 2018, through ANGI Homeservices, we acquired Handy Technologies, Inc., a leading platform in the United States for connecting consumers looking for household services (primarily cleaning
