Item 5.01 Changes in Control of Registrant. As previously disclosed, in March 2025, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Grindr Inc. (the "Company") authorized a stock repurchase program to allow for the repurchase of up to $500 million of outstanding shares of the Company's common stock (the "Common Stock") for the period from March 7, 2025, to March 6, 2027 (the "Repurchase Program").

In August 2025, the Board formed and authorized a special committee of the Board (the "Special Committee"), consisting entirely of independent and disinterested directors, to evaluate the impact of repurchases by the Company under the Repurchase Program (the "Repurchase Activity") on the beneficial ownership of Common Stock by Mr. Zage.
