3. CONTEXT OF THE SQUEEZE-OUT

Following the simplified tender offer initiated by Match.com France Limited targeting the Meetic shares which took place from December 13, 2013 to January 21, 2014 (the "Offer"), the Offeror holds directly and indirectly, through its subsidiary Match.com Europe Limited, 23,007,910 Meetic shares and voting rights, representing 98.06% of the share capital at least 97.36% of the voting rights of the Company¹ (See AMF notice no. 214C0129 dated January 22, 2014).

The holders of the 276,669 free shares (representing 1.18% of the share capital of the Company) granted by the Company under free shares plans – which are vested and currently subject to a lock-up period – have entered into a liquidity agreement with the Match.com group which constitutes a firm and irrevocable commitment to transfer such shares to the Match.com group upon expiration of the applicable lock-up period in case of squeeze-out (See AMF notice no. 213C1911 dated December 10, 2013).

By letter dated January 22, 2014, BNP Paribas, acting on behalf of Match.com France Limited, informed the AMF that, as indicated in the Offer document approved by the AMF on December 10, 2013 under visa no. 13-660, the Offeror was willing to implement a squeeze-out of the Meetic shares which had not been tendered in the Offer by Meetic's minority shareholders, excluding the 276,669 free shares subject to a lock-up period, in accordance with articles L. 433-4 III of the French financial and monetary code and 237-16, I 2° of the AMF general regulation. In conformity with article 237-5 of the AMF general regulation, the compensation offered under the squeeze-out procedure shall be 18.75 euros per Meetic share, net of all costs.

The conditions set forth in article L. 433-4 III of the French financial and monetary code and articles 237-14 et seq. of the AMF general regulation are satisfied:

• The 179,349 Meetic Shares not tendered in the Offer by the Company's minority shareholders – excluding the 276,669 free shares for which a liquidity program constituting a firm forward transfer commitment has been entered into with Match.com – account, upon closing of the Offer, for 0.76% of the capital and at most 1.47% of the voting rights of the Company.
• For the purpose of assessing the conformity of the draft Offer document, the AMF has been provided with the valuation report prepared by the presenting bank as well as a report by the firm Associés en Finance acting as independent expert which concluded that the price offered in the simplified tender offer, as well as the potential subsequent squeeze-out, was fair (see AMF notice no. 213C1911 dated December 10, 2013).
• The compensation offered under the squeeze-out procedure is equal to the Offer price, i.e. 18.75 euros per Meetic share.

4. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE SQUEEZE-OUT

Pursuant to AMF notice no. 214C0138 dated January 23, 2014, the squeeze-out shall occur on January 31, 2014, for a compensation of 18.75 euros per Meetic share and shall target 179,349 Meetic shares, representing 0.76% of the share capital and at most 1.47% of the voting rights of the Company. The Meetic shares shall be delisted from Compartment B of the regulated stock exchange of NYSE Euronext in Paris on the same day.

The amount corresponding to the compensation will be paid by the Offeror on a blocked account opened for this purpose with BNP Paribas Securities Services, acting as centralization agent for the cash indemnity transactions. After the closing of the Euroclear France affiliated accounts, the financial intermediaries of the account holders will credit the accounts of the Meetic shareholders with the applicable consideration. Any amounts which have not been attributed, corresponding to the consideration relating to the Meetic shares for which the Meetic shareholders will have remained unknown, will be kept by BNP Paribas Securities Services for a ten-year period starting on the squeeze-out implementation date and transferred to the French Caisse des dépôts et consignations at the expiry of such ten-year period. Such amounts will remain available to the former Meetic shareholders subject to any rights which may be exercised by the French State upon expiration of a 30-year period.
