22 7월 The principal rationale behind the Offer is to bring together two leaders of the online dating and matchmaking industry
It is headquartered at World Headquarters, 555 West 18 th Street, New York, NY 10011 (U.S.A.) and its shares are traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the stock symbol IACI.
Match views the transaction as an opportunity to strengthen its partnership with Meetic and to align the two companies for even greater growth.
Match believes that the Offer provides an opportunity to deepen its relationship with Meetic for the benefit of all of Meetic's customers and stakeholders.
The online personals business has become increasingly competitive over the last few years, with the emergence of new technologies, new means of communicating and reaching consumers and new entrants to local markets served by the Company.
Match views the struggles faced by Meetic to be similar to those faced by Match in the U.S. in 2008. As a result of the success that Match experienced in revitalizing its own growth trajectory in the U.S. beginning in 2009, Match believes it is uniquely positioned to leverage its own expertise and experiences to help rejuvenate a business that has not achieved the levels of growth that it had experienced historically.
