Issues Letter to Match Stockholders Outlining Urgent Need for Change to Address Long-Term Underperformance Driven by Poor Oversight, Subpar Corporate Governance, and Misaligned Board Culture
TORONTO, April 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Anson Funds Management LP and Anson Advisors Inc., the co-investment advisers of certain investment funds (collectively, "Anson Funds"), and stockholders of Match Group Inc. (NASDAQ:MTCH) ("Match" or the "Company"), today announced that it has nominated a slate of highly qualified directors - Fumbi Chima, Laura Lee, and Kelley Morrell - for election at the Match 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Anson Funds also published a letter to Match stockholders outlining the urgent need for change at the Company to address long-term underperformance driven by a history of poor oversight, subpar corporate governance practices, and misaligned board culture.
Specifically, the letter outlines:
- Match's outdated, insular Board has deep interlocking relationships and is inadequately qualified to oversee a modern technology company primarily serving young adults;
- Match's continued significant underperformance relative to broader market indices despite four CEO changes in the past five years;
- The Board's refusal to seriously engage with Company stockholders to introduce fresh perspective and relevant expertise.
The full contents of the letter can be viewed here.
