________________________
(1)Pursuant to Rule 416(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), this Registration Statement shall also cover any additional shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of BuzzFeed, Inc. (the “Registrant”) that become issuable under the Registrant’s 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “EIP”) and the Registrant’s 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) set forth herein as a result of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, or other similar transaction effected without the receipt of consideration that results in an increase to the number of outstanding shares of Class A common stock, as applicable.
(2)The shares of Class A common stock being registered under the EIP include: (i) (1) 1,820,147 shares of Class A common stock reserved for issuance under the EIP on January 1, 2024; and (2) 1,918,422 shares of Class A common stock reserved for issuance under the EIP on January 1, 2025, in each case by operation of the “evergreen” provision contained in the EIP; (ii) 3,034,407 shares of Class A common stock that became available for issuance under the EIP as a result of shares of Class A common stock subject to previously outstanding Restricted Stock Units under the EIP that were forfeited back



to the Company because of a failure to vest and shares of Class A common stock withheld or reacquired by the Company to satisfy the exercise price or tax withholding obligations associated with any award that had been granted under the EIP. Pursuant to the “evergreen” provision contained in the EIP, the number of shares of Class A common stock reserved for issuance under the EIP automatically increases on the first day of each fiscal year of the Registrant during the term of the EIP by a number equal to the lesser of (a) 5% of the total number of shares of all classes of the Registrant’s common stock actually issued and outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding prior fiscal year or (b) such lesser number of shares determined by the Registrant’s board of directors.
(3)Estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee in accordance with Rule 457(c) and (h) under the Securities Act and based upon the average of the high and low prices of the Registrant’s Class A common stock as reported on The Nasdaq Capital Market on April 7, 2025.
(4)Represents shares of Class A common stock reserved for issuance pursuant to stock options outstanding under the EIP as of the date of this Registration Statement.
(5)Estimated in accordance with Rule 457(h) of the Securities Act solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee on the basis of $2.86 per share, which is the weighted-average exercise price of stock options to purchase Class A common stock outstanding under the EIP as of the date of this Registration Statement.
(6)The shares of Class A common stock being registered under the ESPP include (i) 364,029 shares of Class A common stock reserved for issuance under the ESPP on January 1, 2024 and (ii) 383,684 shares of Class A common stock reserved for issuance under the ESPP on January 1, 2025, in each case by operation of the “evergreen” provision contained in the ESPP. Pursuant to such “evergreen” provision, the number of shares of Class A common stock reserved for issuance under the ESPP automatically increases on the first day of each fiscal year of the Registrant during the term of the ESPP by a number equal to 1% of the total number of shares of all classes of the Registrant’s common stock actually issued and outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding prior fiscal year, or a lesser number as may be determined by the Registrant’s board of directors, provided that no more than 6,269,238 shares of Class A common stock of the Registrant may be issued over the term of the ESPP.
(7)Estimated solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee in accordance with Rule 457(c) and (h) under the Securities Act and based upon the average of the high and low prices of the Registrant’s Class A common stock as reported on The Nasdaq Capital Market on April 7, 2025, multiplied by 85%, the discount under the ESPP.
(8)The Registrant does not have any fee offsets.
