Pursuant to the tender offer that ended on 1^st September 2011, IAC/InterActiveCorp, the indirect parent company of Match.com Pegasus Ltd and Match.com Europe Ltd, indirectly holds 81.07% of Meetic's capital and at least 76.68% of Meetic's voting rights.

As announced at the end of September 2011, following the changes in its capital, Meetic carried out changes in the composition of its Board of Directors: Gregory R. Blatt, Chief Executive Officer of the IAC Group and a Director of Meetic, was appointed Chairman of the Meetic Group's Board of Directors, thus replacing Marc Simoncini, who remains a member of the Board. At the same time, Philippe Chainieux was promoted to Chief Executive Officer of the Meetic Group and became a member of the Board.

Henceforth the clear majority shareholder in the Meetic Group, the IAC Group is currently working in active cooperation with Meetic's teams to optimise synergies between the two structures. Subsequently, backed by its leadership position and its particularly solid financial structure, Meetic's short-term priority is to generate cash flow and to ensure a return to progressive organic growth via a selective marketing investment strategy and the implementation of operational synergies.
