Safe Harbor Statement Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

 

This communication may contain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Federal Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, statements relating to IAC/InterActiveCorp's ("IAC") and Vimeo, Inc.'s ("Vimeo") anticipated financial performance, objectives, plans and strategies, statements relating to the anticipated consummation (including anticipated timing) of the pending separation of Vimeo from IAC, and all statements (other than statements of historical facts) that address activities, events or developments that IAC and Vimeo intend, expect, project, believe or anticipate will or may occur in the future. These statements are often characterized by terminology such as "believe," "may," "anticipate," "should," "intend," "plan," "will," "expect," "estimate," "project," "positioned," "strategy" and similar expressions, and are based on assumptions and assessments made by IAC's and Vimeo's management in light of their experience and their perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments, and other factors they believe to be appropriate. IAC and Vimeo undertake no duty to update or revise any such statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. Whether actual results will conform to expectations and predictions is subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties, including: risks and uncertainties discussed in reports that IAC has filed with the SEC; the risks inherent in separating Vimeo from IAC, including uncertainties related to, among other things, the costs and expected benefits of the proposed transaction, the expected timing of the transaction or whether it will be completed, whether the conditions to the transaction can be satisfied or any event, change or other circumstance occurs that could give rise to the abandonment of the proposed spin-off (including the failure to receive any required approvals from the stockholders of IAC), any litigation arising out of or relating to the proposed transaction, the expected tax treatment of the transaction, and the impact of the transaction on the businesses of IAC and Vimeo; and other circumstances beyond IAC's and Vimeo's control. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. For more details on factors that could affect these expectations, please see IAC's filings with the SEC, including a joint registration statement on Amendment No. 3 to Form S-4 filed by IAC and Vimeo Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”) on March 12, 2021 that includes a preliminary proxy statement of IAC and a preliminary consent solicitation statement of Vimeo.
