RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS WITH IAC RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS WITH IAC
Relationship with IAC
ANGI Homeservices and IAC have entered into certain agreements to govern their relationship. These agreements include: a contribution agreement; an investor rights agreement; a services agreement; a tax sharing agreement; and an employee matters agreement.
On October 10, 2018, ANGI issued 5.1 million shares of its Class B common stock to IAC pursuant to the post-closing adjustment provision of the Angie's List merger agreement.
Contribution Agreement
The contribution agreement sets forth the agreements between the Company and IAC regarding the principal transactions necessary for IAC to separate the HomeAdvisor business from IAC's other businesses and to cause the HomeAdvisor business to be transferred to ANGI Homeservices prior to the Combination, as well as governs certain aspects of our relationship following the Combination. Under the contribution agreement, the Company agreed to assume all of the assets and liabilities related to the HomeAdvisor business and agreed to indemnify IAC against any losses arising out of any breach by the Company of the contribution agreement or the other transaction related agreements described below. IAC also agreed to indemnify the Company against losses arising out of any breach by IAC of the contribution agreement or any of the other transaction related agreements described below.
Investor Rights Agreement
The investor rights agreement provides IAC with certain registration, preemptive and governance rights related to the Company and the shares of its capital stock it holds, as well as certain governance rights for the benefit of stockholders other than IAC.
Services Agreement
The services agreement governs services that IAC provides to the Company including, among others: (i) assistance with certain legal, M&A, human resources, finance, risk management, internal audit and treasury functions, health and welfare benefits, information security services and insurance and tax affairs, including assistance with certain public company and unclaimed property reporting obligations; (ii) accounting, controllership and payroll processing services; (iii) investor relations services; (iv) tax compliance services; and (v) such other services as to which IAC and the Company may agree. The services agreement automatically renews annually for an additional one-year period for so long as IAC continues to own a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock.
For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company was charged $4.8 million, $4.8 million and $5.7 million, respectively, by IAC for services rendered pursuant to the services agreement. There were no outstanding receivables or payables pursuant to the services agreement as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. At December 31, 2018, the Company had an outstanding receivable due from IAC of $0.1 million pursuant to the services agreement. This amount was deducted from the charges due to IAC pursuant to the services agreement discussed above during the first quarter of 2019.
Separately, the Company subleases office space to IAC and charged rent of $1.8 million and $1.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. There were no amounts charged pursuant to subleases for office space to IAC for the year ended December 31, 2018. At both December 31, 2020 and 2019, there were outstanding receivables of less than $0.1 million due from IAC pursuant to sublease agreements, which were subsequently paid in full in the first quarter of 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Tax Sharing Agreement
The tax sharing agreement governs the rights, responsibilities, and obligations of the Company and IAC with respect to tax liabilities and benefits, entitlements to refunds, preparation of tax returns, tax contests and other tax matters regarding U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income taxes. Under the tax sharing agreement, the Company is generally responsible and
required to indemnify IAC for: (i) all taxes imposed with respect to any consolidated, combined or unitary tax return of IAC or its subsidiaries that includes the Company or any of its subsidiaries to the extent attributable to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, as determined under the tax sharing agreement, and (ii) all taxes imposed with respect to any of the Company's or its subsidiaries’ consolidated, combined, unitary or separate tax returns.
At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company had outstanding payables of $0.9 million and $0.2 million, respectively, due to IAC pursuant to the tax sharing agreement, which is included in “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. There were $3.1 million of refunds received from IAC pursuant to this agreement during the twelve months ended December 31, 2020. During the first quarter of 2019, $11.4 million was paid to IAC, pursuant to this agreement.
Employee Matters Agreement
The employee matters agreement addresses certain compensation (including stock-based compensation) and benefit issues related to the allocation of liabilities associated with: (i) employment or termination of employment, (ii) employee benefit plans and (iii) equity awards. Under the employee matters agreement, the Company's employees participate in IAC’s U.S. health and welfare plans, 401(k) plan and flexible benefits plan and the Company reimburses IAC for the costs of such participation. In the event IAC no longer retains shares representing at least 80% of the aggregate voting power of shares entitled to vote in the election of the Company’s Board of Directors, ANGI Homeservices will no longer participate in IAC’s employee benefit plans, but will establish its own employee benefit plans that will be substantially similar to the plans sponsored by IAC prior to the Combination.
In addition, the employee matters agreement requires the Company to reimburse IAC for the cost of any IAC equity awards held by ANGI Homeservices current and former employees, with IAC electing to receive payment in cash or shares of our Class B common stock. This agreement also provides that IAC may require stock appreciation rights granted prior to the closing of the Combination and equity awards in our subsidiaries to be settled in either shares of our Class A common stock or IAC common stock. To the extent shares of IAC common stock are issued in settlement of these awards, the Company is obligated to reimburse IAC for the cost of those shares by issuing shares of our Class A common stock in the case of stock appreciation rights granted prior to the closing of the Combination and shares of our Class B common stock in the case of equity awards in our subsidiaries.
Lastly, pursuant to the employee matters agreement, in the event of a distribution of ANGI capital stock to IAC stockholders in a transaction intended to qualify as tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Compensation Committee of the IAC Board of Directors has the exclusive authority to determine the treatment of outstanding IAC equity awards. Such authority includes (but is not limited to) the ability to convert all or part of IAC equity awards outstanding immediately prior to the distribution into equity awards denominated in shares of ANGI Class A Common Stock, which ANGI would be obligated to assume and which would be dilutive to ANGI's stockholders.
For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, 0.3 million, 0.5 million and 0.9 million shares of ANGI Homeservices Class B common stock were issued to IAC, respectively, pursuant to the employee matters agreement as reimbursement for shares of IAC common stock issued in connection with the exercise and vesting of IAC equity awards held by ANGI Homeservices employees.
