\"Match<\/figure>Match Group Inc<\/a> said on Wednesday it would pay Tinder founders<\/a> $441 million to settle a case in which the dating app's executives claimed the parent company lowballed the app's value to avoid paying billions of dollars.

The lawsuit filed in 2018 had stated that
IAC\/InterActiveCorp<\/a> and subsidiary Match deliberately prevented Tinder<\/a> founders Sean Rad<\/a>, Justin Mateen<\/a> and Jonathan Badeen<\/a> from cashing in stock options they could exercise and sell to IAC.

The plaintiffs were given stock options in Tinder as part of their compensation in 2014, but because Tinder is a private company they were not able to exercise their options and then sell stock on the open market.
