Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

On May 10, 2023, Fastly, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing the repurchase transactions described in Item 8.01 below, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.

The information in this Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, is being furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, whether made before or after the date hereof, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing to this item of this report.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

Repurchases of Convertible Notes

On May 9, 2023, the Company entered into separate, privately negotiated transactions (the “Agreements”) with certain holders of the Company’s outstanding 0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Notes”) to repurchase (the “Repurchases”) approximately $236.4 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes for an aggregate cash repurchase price of approximately $195.0 million. The final aggregate cash repurchase price will be determined based on the sum of (i) approximately $195.0 million based on the Company’s May 5, 2023 closing stock price of $11.78 per share of Class A common stock (the “common stock”) and (ii) an amount (which may be positive or negative) based in part on the daily volume-weighted average price per share of the common stock during a one-trading day pricing period following the execution of the Agreements. The actual amount of cash paid in the Repurchases could vary from the estimated aggregate repurchase price depending on changes in the trading price of the common stock during the measurement period.

The Repurchases are expected to close on May 15, 2023, subject to customary closing conditions. Following the closing of the Repurchases, the Company intends to cancel the repurchased Notes and, after such cancellation of repurchased Notes, approximately $477.4 million aggregate principal amounts of Notes will remain outstanding. The Repurchases could affect the market price of the common stock.
