("Original BuzzFeed"), which became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the issuer upon completion of the Business Combination. At the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement), the reporting entities' shares of all classes of the capital stock of Original BuzzFeed were exchanged for the shares of Class A Common Stock of the issuer reported in this row, based on an exchange ratio of .306 to 1.

("HDS"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the reporting entity, in addition to cash proceeds, in exchange for HDS's entire equity interest in Complex Networks in a transaction that occurred simultaneously with completion of the Business Combination and resulted in Complex Networks being a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Original BuzzFeed and an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of the issuer.
