Footnote F1

Represents Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") of the Issuer received pursuant to a business combination (the "Business Combination") which was effectuated in accordance with the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of June 24, 2021 (the "Merger Agreement") among (i) the Issuer, (ii) wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Issuer and (iii) the company formerly known as Buzzfeed, Inc. ("Original BuzzFeed"). At the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement), the Reporting Person's RSUs previously awarded by Original BuzzFeed with respect to shares of its Class A Common Stock were exchanged for replacement RSU awards of the Issuer, of an equivalent economic value, with respect to the Issuer's Class A Common Stock. The RSUs were subject to a liquidity event condition, which was satisfied by the Business Combination.

Footnote F2

This award is fully vested.

Footnote F3

These RSUs do not expire; they either vest or are cancelled prior to the vesting date.

Footnote F4

Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of the Issuer's Common Stock, subject to the Reporting Person's continued status as a service provider to the Issuer.

Footnote F5

Represents stock options of the Issuer received pursuant to the Business Combination. At the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement), the reporting person's stock options previously awarded by Original BuzzFeed for shares of its Class A Common Stock were exchanged for substitute option awards, of an equivalent economic value, which vest and become exercisable for shares of the Issuer's Class A Common Stock.

69% of this award is fully vested. The remainder of this award vests monthly on the 1st as to 1/48 of the total award.
