Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing

On June 11, 2014, Zynga Inc. (“Zynga” or the “Company”) notified The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) that, as a result of Messrs. Hoffman and Katzenberg ceasing to be directors of the Company as of June 11, 2014, the Company was no longer in compliance with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605 (the “Rule”), which requires that the Board of Directors (the “Board”) be comprised of a majority of independent directors, as defined under NASDAQ listing rules. On June 12, 2014, the Company received written notification from NASDAQ confirming that the Company no longer complies with the Rule. The Company has 45 days, or until July 27, 2014, to submit to NASDAQ a plan outlining how it intends to regain compliance with the Rule. Upon acceptance of the Company’s plan, NASDAQ may grant the Company an extension of up to 180 days from the date of the notification, or until December 9, 2014, to regain compliance.

The Board is actively identifying, evaluating and recruiting potential candidates to join the Board. The Company expects to identify and add two independent directors to the Board and regain compliance with the Rule in the coming months.

5.1 Optional Conversion .

(a) Optional Conversion of the Class B Common Stock .

(i) At the option of the holder thereof, each share of Class B Common Stock shall be convertible, at any time or from time to time prior to the close of business on the business day before any date fixed for redemption of such share, into one fully paid and nonassessable share of Class A Common Stock as provided herein.

(ii) Each holder of Class B Common Stock who elects to convert the same into shares of Class A Common Stock shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the Corporation or any transfer agent for the Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, and shall give written notice to the Corporation at such office that such holder elects to convert the same and shall state therein the number of shares of Class B Common Stock being converted. Thereupon the Corporation shall promptly issue and deliver at such office to such holder a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Class A Common Stock to which such holder is entitled upon such conversion.

If a conversion election under this paragraph 5.1(a) is made in connection with an underwritten offering of the Corporation’s securities pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the conversion may, at the option

 

6


of the holder tendering shares of Class B Common Stock for conversion, be conditioned upon the closing with the underwriters of the sale of the Corporation’s securities pursuant to such offering, in which event the holders making such elections who are entitled to receive Class A Common Stock upon conversion of their Class B Common Stock shall not be deemed to have converted such shares of Class B Common Stock until immediately prior to the closing of such sale of the Corporation’s securities in the offering.

(b) Optional Conversion of the Class C Common Stock .

(ii) Each holder of Class C Common Stock who elects to convert the same into shares of Class A Common Stock shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the Corporation or any transfer agent for the Class A Common Stock or Class C Common Stock, and shall give written notice to the Corporation at such office that such holder elects to convert the same and shall state therein the number of shares of Class C Common Stock being converted. Thereupon the Corporation shall promptly issue and deliver at such office to such holder a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Class A Common Stock to which such holder is entitled upon such conversion. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the certificate or certificates representing the shares of Class C Common Stock to be converted, and the person entitled to receive the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such shares of Class A Common Stock on such date. If a conversion election under this paragraph 5.1(b) is made in connection with an underwritten offering of the Corporation’s securities pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the conversion may, at the option of the holder tendering shares of Class C Common Stock for conversion, be conditioned upon the closing with the underwriters of the sale of the Corporation’s securities pursuant to such offering, in which event the holders making such elections who are entitled to receive Class A Common Stock upon conversion of their Class C Common Stock shall not be deemed to have converted such shares of Class C Common Stock until immediately prior to the closing of such sale of the Corporation’s securities in the offering.

Such conversion shall occur automatically without the need for any further action by the holders of such shares and whether or not the certificates representing such shares are surrendered to the Corporation or its transfer agent; provided , however , that the Corporation shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon such conversion unless the certificates evidencing such shares of Class B Common Stock are either delivered to the Corporation or its transfer agent as provided below, or the holder notifies the Corporation or its transfer agent that

 

7


such certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an agreement satisfactory to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation from any loss incurred by it in connection with such certificates. Upon the occurrence of such automatic conversion of the Class B Common Stock, the holders of Class B Common Stock shall surrender the certificates representing such shares at the office of the Corporation or any transfer agent for the Common Stock. Thereupon, there shall be issued and delivered to such holder promptly at such office and in its name as shown on such surrendered certificate or certificates, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which the shares of Class B Common Stock surrendered were convertible on the date on which such automatic conversion occurred.

5.3 Automatic Conversion of the Class C Common Stock .

Such conversion shall occur automatically without the need for any further action by the holders of such shares and whether or not the certificates representing such shares are surrendered to the Corporation or its transfer agent; provided , however , that the Corporation shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon such conversion unless the certificates evidencing such shares of Class C Common Stock are either delivered to the Corporation or its transfer agent as provided below, or the holder notifies the Corporation or its transfer agent that such certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an agreement satisfactory to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation from any loss incurred by it in connection with such certificates. Upon the occurrence of such automatic conversion of the Class C Common Stock, the holders of Class C Common Stock shall surrender the certificates representing such shares at the office of the Corporation or any transfer agent for the Common Stock. Thereupon, there shall be issued and delivered to such holder promptly at such office and in its name as shown on such surrendered certificate or certificates, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which the shares of Class C Common Stock surrendered were convertible on the date on which such automatic conversion occurred.

Each share of Class B Common Stock and Class C Common Stock held by the Founder shall automatically, without any further action, convert into one fully paid and nonassessable share of Class A Common Stock nine months after the date of the death or Disability of the Founder.

5.5 Common Class Adjustments for Other Dividends and Distributions . If, at any time or from time to time on or after the Effective Time, the Corporation pays a dividend or makes another distribution to the holders of Class A Common Stock payable in securities of the Corporation, without an equivalent issuance by the Corporation of securities of the Corporation as a dividend or other distribution on the outstanding shares of all other classes of Common Stock (each a “ Class A Event ”), then, in each such event, provision shall be made so that the holders of any class of Common Stock that are not receiving such dividend or distribution with

respect to such other class of Common Stock (the “ Non-Distribution Common Classes ”) shall receive upon conversion of their shares of such Non-Distribution Common Classes into Class A Common Stock, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable upon conversion thereof pursuant to this Section 5, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock that they would have received had their shares of the Non-Distribution Common Classes been converted into Class A Common Stock immediately prior to the first Class A Event (or the record date for the first Class A Event, as applicable) and had they continuously held such shares of Class A Common Stock during the period from the date of the first Class A Event (or the record date for the first Class A Event, as applicable) to and including the conversion date, subject to all other adjustments called for during such period under this Section 5 with respect to the rights of the holders of the Class A Common Stock (which shall not in any way limit or preclude further adjustments pursuant to this Section 5 for any future Class A Events).

(a) If at any time or from time to time after the Effective Time, the Corporation effects a subdivision of the outstanding shares of the Class A Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Class A Common Stock without an equivalent subdivision of the outstanding shares of the Class B Common Stock, then in the event of a conversion of shares of Class B Common Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock, the shares of Class B Common Stock shall convert into a number of shares of Class A Common Stock that has been proportionately increased. If at any time or from time to time after the Effective Time, the Corporation effects a combination of the outstanding shares of the Class A Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Class A Common Stock without an equivalent combination of the outstanding shares of the Class B Common Stock, then in the event of a conversion of shares of Class B Common Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock, the shares of Class B Common Stock shall convert into a number of shares of Class A Common Stock that has been proportionately decreased.

(b) If at any time or from time to time after the Effective Time, the Corporation effects a subdivision of the outstanding shares of the Class A Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Class A Common Stock without an equivalent subdivision of the outstanding shares of the Class C Common Stock, then in the event of a conversion of shares of Class C Common Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock, the shares of Class C Common Stock shall convert into a number of shares of Class A Common Stock that has been proportionately increased.

Class A Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock and Class C Common Stock; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then-outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock and Class C Common Stock, as applicable, the Corporation will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose.

6. Restrictions and Limitations .

6.1 Class B Common Stock and Class C Common Stock Protective Provisions .

7.2 Equal Treatment in a Combination Transaction . In the event of any Combination Transaction to which the Corporation is a party in which the shares of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock or Class C Common Stock will be exchanged for or converted into, or will receive a distribution of, cash or other property or securities of the Corporation or any other person or entity, each share of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive Equivalent Consideration (as defined herein) on a per-share basis, unless different treatment of the shares of each such class is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the applicable class of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock and/or Class C Common Stock treated adversely, voting separately as a class. As used herein, the term “ Equivalent Consideration ” shall mean consideration in the same form, in the same amount and with the same voting rights on a per-share basis; provided , however , that for the avoidance of doubt, consideration to be paid or received by a holder of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock or Class C Common Stock in connection with any Combination Transaction pursuant to any employment, consulting, severance or other arrangement shall not be deemed to be “consideration” that is included in the determination of “Equivalent Consideration.”
