Q1 2026 SUMMARY

•IAC previously announced it will change its name to People Incorporated and is expected to trade under the ticker (NASDAQ: PPLI) on or before Q2 2026 earnings. Given the Company’s narrowed focus on core assets People Inc. and its investment in MGM, IAC is consolidating its corporate functions with those of its People Inc. business through a reduction in workforce, technology integration, and other cost-saving measures over the coming quarters that are expected to generate annual run-rate operating expense savings of $40 million and approximately $20-$25 million in reduced stock-based compensation expense.

•IAC expects to incur $14 million in severance and related expenses ($10 million recognized in Q1 2026), $48 million in stock-based compensation expense and $0.5 million to $1 million in other costs.
