Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

As described in more detail below in this Item 1.01 and in Items 5.02 and 5.03, on July 21, 2022, Snap Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a series of transactions that provide for (i) employment agreements (the “Employment Agreements”) with Evan Spiegel and Robert Murphy (each, a “Co-Founder”), pursuant to which Mr. Spiegel will continue to serve as our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Mr. Murphy will continue to serve as our Chief Technology Officer (“CTO”) for an initial term ending on January 1, 2027, during which they each have agreed to devote substantially all of their professional time to the Company, subject to certain conditions, (ii) the future declaration and payment of a special dividend of one share of Class A common stock on each outstanding share of Snap’s common stock (the “Special Dividend”), which Special Dividend shall not be declared and paid until the later of June 30, 2023 and the first business day following the date on which the 65-Day VWAP (as defined below) equals or exceeds $40 per share, and (iii) additional agreements to be entered into with Messrs. Spiegel and Murphy and certain of their respective affiliates (the “Co-Founder Agreements”) which provide for, among other things, (a) the Co-Founders being required under certain circumstances to convert an equal number of shares of Class B common stock or Class C common stock into Class A common stock in connection with sales by such Co-Founder of shares of Class A common stock received in the Special Dividend, (b) conversion of a Co-Founder’s remaining shares of Class C common stock into Class B common stock at such time as such Class C common stock represents in the aggregate less than 60% of such Co-Founder’s Base Class C Common Stock (as such term is defined in our Amended and Restated Certification of Incorporation) and (c) in the event of any sale or liquidation of the Company following the Special Dividend, shares of Class A common stock, Class B common stock, and Class C common stock are to be treated identically, equally and ratably, on a per share basis, with respect to any consideration received.          

Special Dividend

On July 19, 2022, our board of directors, after receiving the recommendation of a special committee of the board of directors (the “Special Committee”), determined that it is advisable and in our best interests, and in the best interests of our stockholders (other than Mr. Spiegel and Mr. Murphy and certain of their respective affiliates that hold shares of our capital stock, as to whom no determination was made), to declare and pay a Special Dividend of one share of Class A common stock as a one-time stock dividend on each outstanding share of Snap’s common stock; provided, however, that the Special Dividend shall not be declared until the later of (i) June 30, 2023 and (ii) the first business day following the date on which the 65-Day VWAP (as defined below) equals or exceeds $40 per share, or, if the board of directors so determines, a date that is within five business days after the later of such two dates. “65-Day VWAP” means the average of the volume weighted average price per share of Class A common stock traded on the New York Stock Exchange, or any other national securities exchange on which the shares of Class A common stock are then traded, for each of the 65 trading days ending on, and including, the first trading day immediately preceding the date of determination of the 65-Day VWAP. If the 65-Day VWAP does not exceed $40 per share by July 21, 2032, the Special Dividend will not be declared and paid and the Co-Founder Agreements shall terminate and be of no further force and effect.

Co-Founder Agreements

In connection with the Special Dividend, our board of directors, after receiving the recommendation of the Special Committee, has approved, and on July 21, 2022 we entered into, Co-Founder Agreements with each of Messrs. Spiegel and Murphy and certain of their respective affiliates (generally, trusts and other estate and philanthropic planning vehicles through which Messrs. Spiegel and Murphy hold all or a portion of their shares of Class A common stock, Class B common stock, and Class C common stock), pursuant to which Messrs. Spiegel and Murphy, and certain of their respective affiliates  have agreed, subject to certain exceptions, to convert an equal number of shares of Class B common stock or Class C common stock into Class A common stock (“Paired Conversions”) if such Co-Founder were to sell shares of Class A common stock received on shares of Class B common stock or Class C common stock pursuant to the Special Dividend (“Dividend Share Sales”) if: (1) beginning on June 30, 2023 and ending on January 1, 2027, such Co-Founder (or such Co-Founder’s permitted transferees or qualified trustees) were to engage in Dividend Share Sales or (2) such Co-Founder were to engage in Dividend Share Sales beginning on the date (if any) on which the Co-Founder has neither been a director nor an employee of the Company for the Applicable Number of Years (as defined below) (except if he has been terminated by the Company without Cause, has resigned for Good Reason, has died, or has suffered a Disability Event, as such terms are defined in the Co-Founder Agreements), and ending on the date (if any) on which the Co-Founder resumes service with the Company as a director or employee. “Applicable Number of Years” means a continuous period of two years, except that if the Co-Founder is primarily engaged in public service or philanthropic endeavors while separated from the Company, the Applicable Number of Years means a continuous period of five years.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Paired Conversions described above shall occur upon (x) a sale of shares of Class A common stock which would qualify as a permitted transfer if such sale were made of shares of Class B common stock or shares of Class C common stock or (y) a donation of shares of Class A common stock to a tax-exempt organization or a sale of shares of Class A common stock the net proceeds of which are donated to a tax-exempt organization.

Additionally, pursuant to the Co-Founder Agreements, after giving effect to the Special Dividend, the Class C common stock held by a Co-Founder and his permitted transferees and qualified trustees will be converted into Class B common stock at such time as such Class C common stock represents in the aggregate less than 60% of such Co-Founder’s Base Class C Common Stock (as such term is defined in our Amended and Restated Certification of Incorporation) (with any shares of Class C common stock transferred to the

1


 

other Co-Founder and such other Co-Founder’s related entities considered not held by the first Co-Founder for such calculation, except to the extent the first Co-Founder retains voting control over the transferred shares).

Furthermore, the Co-Founder Agreements provide that, in the event of any Liquidation Event (as such term is defined in our Amended and Restated Certification of Incorporation) following the Special Dividend shares of Class A common stock, Class B common stock, and Class C common stock are to be treated identically, equally, and ratably, on a per share basis, with respect to any consideration into which such shares are converted or other consideration paid or otherwise distributed to stockholders of the Company, unless different treatment of each such class is approved in advance by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the applicable class treated adversely, voting separately as a class, excluding, in the case of any adverse treatment of the Class A common stock, any shares of Class A common stock held by the Co-Founders, their permitted transferees or their qualified trustees.

The Co-Founder Agreements with Messrs. Spiegel and Murphy may only be amended or waived with the approval of Messrs. Spiegel and Murphy, respectively, and a majority of our independent directors (excluding any party to the Co-Founder Agreements). Should the Special Dividend become payable pursuant to the terms of the Co-Founder Agreements, the Company expects to further amend its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Class A common stock to permit the Special Dividend to be paid.

The foregoing description of the Co-Founder Agreements is qualified by reference to, and should be read in conjunction with, the full text of the Co-Founder Agreements, which are attached as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, and incorporated by reference.

Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On July 21, 2022, Snap Inc. reported financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. A copy of the press release and the investor letter are furnished as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference.

The press release and investor letter are furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or subject to the liabilities of that section or Sections 11 and 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The information shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any other filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission made by Snap Inc., whether made before or after today’s date, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

Employment Agreements

In connection with the Special Dividend and the Co-Founders Agreements, our board of directors, after receiving the recommendation of the Special Committee, has approved, and on July 21, 2022 we entered into, Employment Agreements (the “Employment Agreements”) with each of Messrs. Spiegel and Murphy, pursuant to which Mr. Spiegel will continue to serve as our CEO and Mr. Murphy will continue to serve as our CTO. The Employment Agreements are effective as of January 1, 2022, and will have an initial term of five years (the “Commitment Period”), subject to automatic renewals for successive five year periods unless earlier terminated as provided therein (each subsequent period, a “Renewal Period”).

During the Commitment Period or any Renewal Period, Mr. Spiegel and Mr. Murphy have agreed to devote substantially all of their professional time to the Company, which will comprise a majority of their time during normal working hours, subject to exceptions specifically approved by the board of directors. Notwithstanding this, Mr. Spiegel and Mr. Murphy are entitled to pursue their personal and philanthropic interests, so long as their devotion to those interests comprises less than a majority of their time during normal working hours on a monthly basis and such interests are not competitive with the Company.

Mr. Spiegel and Mr. Murphy will each have an annual salary of $1. In addition, under the Employment Agreements, subject to certain exceptions, we intend to refrain from making any compensatory grants of equity or equity-based awards, or paying any non-perquisite compensation to Mr. Spiegel and Mr. Murphy. During the Commitment Period, Mr. Spiegel and Mr. Murphy will continue to be entitled to (i) perquisites, including those available to senior executive officers of the Company, (ii) participate in the Company’s welfare and retirement benefits, and (iii) certain services related to aircraft and security as set forth in the Company’s existing policies subject to certain exceptions as described in the Employment Agreements

The foregoing description of the Employment Agreements is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the agreements, which are attached as Exhibits 10.3 and 10.4, respectively, and incorporated by reference.

Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

3.Conversion Requirement.

(a)The Holders agree that (i) in the event a Holder Sells during any Conversion Period a Dividend Share received on a share of Class B Common Stock, such Holder shall, within ten (10) business days following such Sale, be required to convert such share of Class B Common Stock into a share of Class A Common Stock and (ii) in the event a Holder Sells during any Conversion Period a Dividend Share received on a share of Class C Common Stock, such Holder shall within ten (10) business days following such Sale be required to convert such share of Class C Common Stock into one share of Class A Common Stock, unless, in the case of clauses (i) or (ii), a majority of the Independent Directors otherwise approves upon written request of Holder provided at least five (5) business days prior to any such Dividend Share conversion (the requirement described in this Section 3(a), the “Conversion Requirement”).  In the event a share of Class B Common Stock or Class C Common Stock on which a Dividend Share was received is converted into a share of Class A Common Stock (whether in connection with a Transfer that was not a Permitted Transfer or otherwise) prior to any Sale of such Dividend Share, the Conversion Requirement will be deemed satisfied with respect to any Sale of such Dividend Share.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Conversion Requirement shall not apply to any Sale (i) that would meet the requirements of a Permitted Transfer or (ii) (x) that constitutes a donation of Dividend Shares to a Tax-Exempt Organization or (y) the net proceeds of which are donated to a

5

 


 

Tax-Exempt Organization.  Furthermore, a Holder shall be deemed for purposes of this Agreement to have converted a share of Class B Common Stock or Class C Common Stock into a share of Class A Common Stock if such Holder shall have submitted an irrevocable election to the Company or its transfer agent to effectuate such conversion.

(b)Except as expressly set forth in this Section 3, this Agreement shall not limit or restrict any Holder’s ability to Transfer any shares of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock or Class C Common Stock (subject to the terms and conditions of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation).

(c)For all purposes of this Agreement, a Holder who Sells any shares of Class A Common Stock during the term of this Agreement shall be deemed for purposes of this Agreement, unless, in any case, the applicable Holder otherwise instructs in writing (and a copy of such instruction shall be provided to the Company following any such Sale), to Sell (i) first, shares of Class A Common Stock other than the Dividend Shares, (ii) second, Dividend Shares received on such Holder’s shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Stock Dividend, (iii) third, Dividend Shares received on such Holder’s shares of Class B Common Stock pursuant to the Stock Dividend, and (iv) fourth, Dividend Shares that were received on such Holder’s shares of Class C Common Stock pursuant the Stock Dividend.  In the event of any Transfer of shares of Class A Common Stock by a Holder not addressed by this Section 3(c), such Holder shall notify the Company in writing which shares of Class A Common Stock have been Transferred, such notice to be provided following any such Transfer.

4.Conditions Requiring Conversion of All Class C Common Stock.  Notwithstanding Article V, Section 6(a)(iii) of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, subject to the payment of and after giving effect to the Stock Dividend, each share of Class C Common Stock held by the Co-Founder and the Co-Founder’s Permitted Transferees and Qualified Trustees will be convertible into Class B Common Stock at such time as such Class C Common Stock represents in the aggregate less than 60% of the Co-Founder’s Base Class C Common Stock (as defined in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation); provided, however, for purposes of determining the percentage of such Co-Founder’s Base Class C Common Stock under this Section 4, the number of shares of Class C Common Stock held by the Co-Founder and the Co-Founder’s Permitted Transferees and Qualified Trustees shall exclude any shares of Class C Common Stock that have been Sold by the Co-Founder or the Co-Founder’s Permitted Transferees or Qualified Trustees to a Robert Murphy Related Party at the applicable time of determination, unless the Co-Founder retains Voting Control over such shares of Class C Common Stock at the applicable time of determination.

5.Equal Status.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Article V, Section 4 of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Company shall not approve any Liquidation Event, and the Holders shall not vote in favor of any Liquidation Event, unless the shares of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock, and Class C Common Stock are treated equally and ratably, on a per share basis, with respect to any consideration into which such shares are converted or any consideration paid or otherwise distributed in respect of such shares to stockholders of the Company, unless different treatment of each such class is approved in advance by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the applicable class treated adversely, voting separately as a class, excluding, in the case of any adverse

6

 


 

treatment of the Class A Common Stock, any shares of Class A Common Stock held by the Holders and any Robert Murphy Related Party; provided, however, that for the avoidance of doubt, consideration to be paid or received by a holder of Common Stock in connection with any Liquidation Event pursuant to any employment, consulting, severance or similar services arrangement shall not be deemed to be “consideration” for purposes of this Section 5.

6.Scope of this Agreement. This Agreement shall not in any way constitute an amendment, modification, supplement or waiver of any right, preference, privilege, term or provision set forth or contained in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

7.Effectiveness; Termination.

(a)Section 1, Section 2, Section 6, Section 7 and Section 8 of this Agreement shall become effective on the Effective Date.  Section 3, Section 4 and Section 5 of this Agreement shall only become effective if the Stock Dividend is paid on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, including that it has been paid on each share of Common Stock outstanding as of the record date for determining the holders of Common Stock entitled to payment of the Stock Dividend.  Unless earlier terminated as set forth in Section 7(b) or Section 7(c) below, this Agreement shall terminate automatically and without further action by any Party at such time as the Co-Founder and his Permitted Transferees and Qualified Trustees cease to own any shares of Class C Common Stock or Class B Common Stock following the payment of the Stock Dividend (including as a result of the occurrence of the Final Conversion Date (as defined in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation)).  

(b)This Agreement may be terminated at any time, by a written instrument executed by each of the Holders and that has been approved by a majority of the Independent Directors and executed on behalf of the Company.

(c)This Agreement shall terminate automatically and without further action by any Party if the Dividend Declaration Condition has not been satisfied on or before the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Effective Date.

8.Miscellaneous.

(a)Joinder.  During the term of this Agreement, in the event a Holder Transfers shares of Common Stock to a person that meets the requirements of a Permitted Transferee or Qualified Trustee, the Holder shall cause such person to become a party to this Agreement as a “Holder” and shall deliver to the Company a duly executed counterpart signature page in connection with such Transfer.  

(b)Successors and Assigns; No Third Party Beneficiaries.  Except as expressly provided in Section 8(a) with respect to a Transfer of shares of Common Stock by a Holder to a person that meets the requirements of a Permitted Transferee or Qualified Trustee, neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned or transferred (whether by operation of law or otherwise) by the Company, on the one hand, or any Holder, on the other hand, without the prior written consent of the Holders or the Company, respectively, and any purported assignment or other transfer without such consent shall be void and unenforceable; provided, however, that the Company may assign or transfer this agreement to

7

 


 

a successor entity in connection with any merger, consolidation, reorganization or business combination transaction.  Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Parties and their respective successors and assigns.  Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any person other than the Parties hereto or their respective successors and assigns any rights, remedies, obligations, or liabilities of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

Transfer” shall have the meaning set forth in Article V, Section 1.18 of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (it being understood and agreed that any references therein (or in defined terms used therein) to shares of “Class B Common Stock” or “Class C Common Stock” shall be deemed to refer also to shares of Class A Common Stock for purposes of the term “Transfer” as used in this Agreement).

Voting Control” shall have the meaning set forth in Article V, Section 1.19 of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

2.Declaration of Stock Dividend.  The Company hereby agrees to declare the Stock Dividend on the Dividend Declaration Date.  The Stock Dividend shall be paid within thirty (30) days after the Dividend Declaration Date to stockholders of record as of the record date for the Stock Dividend, which record date shall be set by the Board of Directors in accordance with the DGCL.  The Dividend Shares shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.  Prior to the Dividend Declaration Date, subject to the approval of a majority of the voting power of the Company’s outstanding stock, the Company shall cause to be amended the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation if necessary to authorize a sufficient number of shares of Class A Common Stock to permit payment of the Stock Dividend.

3.Conversion Requirement.

(a)The Holders agree that (i) in the event a Holder Sells during any Conversion Period a Dividend Share received on a share of Class B Common Stock, such Holder shall, within ten (10) business days following such Sale, be required to convert such share of Class B Common Stock into a share of Class A Common Stock and (ii) in the event a Holder Sells during any Conversion Period a Dividend Share received on a share of Class C Common Stock, such Holder shall within ten (10) business days following such Sale be required to convert such share of Class C Common Stock into one share of Class A Common Stock, unless, in the case of clauses (i) or (ii), a majority of the Independent Directors otherwise approves upon written request of Holder provided at least five (5) business days prior to any such Dividend Share conversion (the requirement described in this Section 3(a), the “Conversion Requirement”).  In the event a share of Class B Common Stock or Class C Common Stock on which a Dividend Share was received is converted into a share of Class A Common Stock (whether in connection with a Transfer that was not a Permitted Transfer or otherwise) prior to any Sale of such Dividend Share, the Conversion Requirement will be deemed satisfied with respect to any Sale of such Dividend Share. In addition, a Holder will be deemed to satisfy the Conversion Requirement with respect to a Dividend Share if such Holder or another Holder converts a share of Class B Common Stock or Class C Common Stock, as applicable, into a share of Class A Common Stock in lieu of the share of Class B Common Stock or Class C Common Stock on which such Dividend Share was received within ten (10) business days following the Sale of such Dividend Share. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Conversion Requirement shall not apply to any Sale (i) that would meet the requirements of a Permitted Transfer or (ii) (x) that constitutes a donation of Dividend Shares to a Tax-Exempt Organization or (y) the net proceeds of which are donated to a

5

 


 

Tax-Exempt Organization.  Furthermore, a Holder shall be deemed for purposes of this Agreement to have converted a share of Class B Common Stock or Class C Common Stock into a share of Class A Common Stock if such Holder shall have submitted an irrevocable election to the Company or its transfer agent to effectuate such conversion.

(b)Except as expressly set forth in this Section 3, this Agreement shall not limit or restrict any Holder’s ability to Transfer any shares of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock or Class C Common Stock (subject to the terms and conditions of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation).

(c)For all purposes of this Agreement, a Holder who Sells any shares of Class A Common Stock during the term of this Agreement shall be deemed for purposes of this Agreement, unless, in any case, the applicable Holder otherwise instructs in writing (and a copy of such instruction shall be provided to the Company following any such Sale), to Sell (i) first, shares of Class A Common Stock other than the Dividend Shares, (ii) second, Dividend Shares received on such Holder’s shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Stock Dividend, (iii) third, Dividend Shares received on such Holder’s shares of Class B Common Stock pursuant to the Stock Dividend, and (iv) fourth, Dividend Shares that were received on such Holder’s shares of Class C Common Stock pursuant the Stock Dividend.  In the event of any Transfer of shares of Class A Common Stock by a Holder not addressed by this Section 3(c), such Holder shall notify the Company in writing which shares of Class A Common Stock have been Transferred, such notice to be provided following any such Transfer.

4.Conditions Requiring Conversion of All Class C Common Stock.  Notwithstanding Article V, Section 6(a)(iii) of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, subject to the payment of and after giving effect to the Stock Dividend, each share of Class C Common Stock held by the Co-Founder and the Co-Founder’s Permitted Transferees and Qualified Trustees will be convertible into Class B Common Stock at such time as such Class C Common Stock represents in the aggregate less than 60% of the Co-Founder’s Base Class C Common Stock (as defined in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation); provided, however, for purposes of determining the percentage of such Co-Founder’s Base Class C Common Stock under this Section 4, the number of shares of Class C Common Stock held by the Co-Founder and the Co-Founder’s Permitted Transferees and Qualified Trustees shall exclude any shares of Class C Common Stock that have been Sold by the Co-Founder or the Co-Founder’s Permitted Transferees or Qualified Trustees to a Evan Spiegel Related Party at the applicable time of determination, unless the Co-Founder retains Voting Control over such shares of Class C Common Stock at the applicable time of determination.

5.Equal Status.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Article V, Section 4 of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Company shall not approve any Liquidation Event, and the Holders shall not vote in favor of any Liquidation Event, unless the shares of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock, and Class C Common Stock are treated equally and ratably, on a per share basis, with respect to any consideration into which such shares are converted or any consideration paid or otherwise distributed in respect of such shares to stockholders of the Company, unless different treatment of each such class is approved in advance by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the applicable class treated adversely, voting separately as a class, excluding, in the case of any adverse

6

 


 

treatment of the Class A Common Stock, any shares of Class A Common Stock held by the Holders and any Evan Spiegel Related Party; provided, however, that for the avoidance of doubt, consideration to be paid or received by a holder of Common Stock in connection with any Liquidation Event pursuant to any employment, consulting, severance or similar services arrangement shall not be deemed to be “consideration” for purposes of this Section 5.

6.Scope of this Agreement. This Agreement shall not in any way constitute an amendment, modification, supplement or waiver of any right, preference, privilege, term or provision set forth or contained in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

7.Effectiveness; Termination.

(a)Section 1, Section 2, Section 6, Section 7 and Section 8 of this Agreement shall become effective on the Effective Date.  Section 3, Section 4 and Section 5 of this Agreement shall only become effective if the Stock Dividend is paid on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, including that it has been paid on each share of Common Stock outstanding as of the record date for determining the holders of Common Stock entitled to payment of the Stock Dividend.  Unless earlier terminated as set forth in Section 7(b) or Section 7(c) below, this Agreement shall terminate automatically and without further action by any Party at such time as the Co-Founder and his Permitted Transferees and Qualified Trustees cease to own any shares of Class C Common Stock or Class B Common Stock following the payment of the Stock Dividend (including as a result of the occurrence of the Final Conversion Date (as defined in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation)).  

(b)This Agreement may be terminated at any time, by a written instrument executed by each of the Holders and that has been approved by a majority of the Independent Directors and executed on behalf of the Company.

(c)This Agreement shall terminate automatically and without further action by any Party if the Dividend Declaration Condition has not been satisfied on or before the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Effective Date.

8.Miscellaneous.

(a)Joinder.  During the term of this Agreement, in the event a Holder Transfers shares of Common Stock to a person that meets the requirements of a Permitted Transferee or Qualified Trustee, the Holder shall cause such person to become a party to this Agreement as a “Holder” and shall deliver to the Company a duly executed counterpart signature page in connection with such Transfer.  

(b)Successors and Assigns; No Third Party Beneficiaries.  Except as expressly provided in Section 8(a) with respect to a Transfer of shares of Common Stock by a Holder to a person that meets the requirements of a Permitted Transferee or Qualified Trustee, neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned or transferred (whether by operation of law or otherwise) by the Company, on the one hand, or any Holder, on the other hand, without the prior written consent of the Holders or the Company, respectively, and any purported assignment or other transfer without such consent shall be void and unenforceable; provided, however, that the Company may assign or transfer this agreement to

7

 


 

a successor entity in connection with any merger, consolidation, reorganization or business combination transaction.  Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Parties and their respective successors and assigns.  Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any person other than the Parties hereto or their respective successors and assigns any rights, remedies, obligations, or liabilities of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.  

(c)Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, together with the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, constitutes the full and entire understanding and agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

(d)Amendment and Waiver.  This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented only by a written instrument that has been executed by each of the Holders and that has been approved by a majority of the Independent Directors and executed on behalf of the Company.  Any failure of the Parties to comply with any obligation, covenant, agreement or condition in this Agreement may be waived by the Party entitled to the benefit thereof only by a written instrument that has been signed by the Party granting such waiver and that, in the case of the Company, has been approved by a majority of the Independent Directors.  No delay on the part of any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any waiver on the part of any Party of any right, power or privilege hereunder operate as a waiver of any other right, power or privilege hereunder, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder.  

(e)Notices.  All notices, requests, demands and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given or made as follows:  (i) if sent by registered or certified mail in the United States return receipt requested, upon receipt; (ii) if sent by nationally recognized overnight air courier, one (1) business day after mailing; (iii)  if otherwise actually personally delivered, when delivered; and (iv) if sent by email (without receipt of any delivery failure notice), upon sending (provided that a confirmation copy is also given by another method of delivery prescribed herein within two (2) business days after transmission), provided, however, that such notices, requests, demands and other communications are delivered (or in the case of email, addressed) to the address set forth below, or to such other address as any Party shall provide by like notice to the other Party:

(g)Equitable Remedies.  Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the other Party would be irreparably damaged in the event that any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise are breached.  Therefore, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, each Party hereby agrees that the other Party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, and to enforce specifically the performance by such first Party under this Agreement, and each Party hereby agrees to waive the defense in any such suit that the other Party has an adequate remedy at law and to interpose no opposition, legal or otherwise, as to the propriety of injunction or specific performance as a remedy, and hereby agrees to waive any requirement to post any bond in connection with obtaining such relief.  The equitable remedies described in this Section 8(g) shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other remedies at law or in equity that the Parties may elect to pursue.  The rights and remedies provided for in this Agreement are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies which the Parties may have hereunder or may otherwise have at law or in equity.

Execution Version

Evan Spiegel

 

Dear Evan,

 

Snap Inc. (the “Company”) is pleased to confirm the terms of your full-time exempt employment as Chief Executive Officer of the Company on the following terms:

 

You will receive an annual salary of $1.  While your employment is and will continue to be “at-will” (as discussed below), you intend to be employed by the Company, and the Company intends to employ you, as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company for at least five (5) years from January 1, 2022 (such initial five (5)-year period, the “Commitment Period”).  Upon the expiration of the Commitment Period, this letter will automatically renew for successive five (5)-year periods (each subsequent period, a “Renewal Period”), unless either you or the Company gives written notice to the other not less than thirty (30) days prior to the commencement of such Renewal Period. During the Commitment Period or any Renewal Period, for so long as you continue to be employed by the Company as the Chief Executive Officer, with substantially the same duties as you currently have, you will devote substantially all of your professional time to the Company, which will comprise a majority of your time during normal working hours, subject to exceptions specifically approved by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors”).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, it is understood and agreed that you have personal and philanthropic interests, which you are entitled to pursue without violating the foregoing, so long as your devotion to those interests comprises less than a majority of your time during normal working hours on a monthly basis and such interests are not competitive with the business of the Company.  

 

During the Commitment Period, subject to unexpected changes in the Company’s business or other factors that the Board of Directors determines would merit providing additional compensation to you and to the terms of this letter, the Board of Directors intends to refrain from making any compensatory grants of equity or equity-based awards, or paying any non-perquisite compensation to you.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this letter shall limit your receipt of (A) existing base salary payments, (B) perquisites, including those available to the Company’s senior executive officers, or (C) any other compensation of a type reportable in the “All Other Compensation” column of the Company’s Summary Compensation Table in its Form 10-K.

 

In addition, Company employees qualify for a range of welfare and retirement benefits. The Company may change its employee benefit plans and programs at its discretion. You will be eligible for paid time off in accordance with the Company’s policies as such policies are in effect from time to time and that are at least as generous as those offered to other Company senior executive officers. The Company will also pay or reimburse you for reasonable travel, entertainment or other expenses incurred by you in the furtherance of or in connection with the performance of your duties hereunder in accordance with the Company’s established policies.  In furtherance of the foregoing, from the date hereof through at least the expiration of the Commitment Period, provided you are employed by the Company and/or are serving as a

 


Execution Version

member of the Board of Directors (or, if you are not employed by the Company and not serving on the Board of Directors, where the separation of service was for “Good Reason” (as defined below) or a Disability Event” (as defined in the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation as of the date hereof)), the Company will: (a) continue to operate and maintain, at the Company’s sole expense, private aircraft for your business and personal use, which use the Company currently requires pursuant to its aircraft policy and executive security policy and, in the event such aircraft is leased to the Company by you or any of your affiliates, pay for all operating, maintenance and insurance costs and taxes associated with such aircraft; and (b) continue to provide, at the Company’s sole expense, security for or to you (including to or for any of your immediate family members (within the meaning of Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K)) of at least substantially the same level of security (including duration, number of security personnel, lodging and transportation arrangements) as the level of security currently being provided for or to you, or, if greater, the level of security recommended by any third-party security study commissioned by the Company.  The Company shall commission a new third-party security study in the event either of your working or living arrangement materially changes from the date hereof.

 

For purposes of this letter, “Good Reason” means, without your prior written consent, (i) a material reduction in the perquisites or other compensation provided for or to you; (ii) a diminution in your title or material diminution in your authorities, duties or responsibilities; (iii) a change in your reporting relationship such that you are no longer reporting directly to the Board of Directors; (iv) a material breach by the Company of any of its obligations to you under this letter, that certain Co-Founder’s Agreement between you, the Company and the other parties signatory thereto, or that certain Confidential Information and Inventions Assignment Agreement between you and the Company; (v) failure or refusal of a successor to the Company to materially assume the Company’s obligations under this letter, that certain Co-Founder’s Agreement between you, the Company and the other parties signatory thereto, or that certain Confidential Information and Inventions Assignment Agreement between you and the Company; or (vi) relocation of your principal place of employment to a facility more than twenty-five (25) miles from the Company’s current Santa Monica, California offices (other than any relocation caused or agreed to by you); in each case under the foregoing clauses (i) through (vi), that is not cured within thirty (30) days of written notice to the Chairperson of the Board of Directors, and you actually terminate your employment with the Company within ninety (90) days after the end of such thirty (30)-day cure period.

 

As a Company employee, you will be expected to follow Company policies and acknowledge in writing that you have read our Employee Handbook. With the exception of the “employment at-will” policy discussed below, the Company may modify or eliminate its policies at its discretion.

 

Your employment with the Company is at-will, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein. This means you may terminate your employment with the Company at any time and for any reason whatsoever simply by notifying the Board of Directors. Likewise, the Company, by act of the Board of Directors, may terminate your employment at any time, with or without cause or advance notice. Your employment at-will status can be modified only in a written agreement signed by you and by the Board of Directors.

Execution Version

 

As an employee of the Company, you may learn about confidential, proprietary, or trade-secret information related to the Company and its clients. Other than in your work for the Company, we do not want you to use or disclose any such confidential, proprietary, or trade-secret information. By signing this letter, you reaffirm the terms and conditions of the Confidential Information and Inventions Assignment Agreement, which you signed when you joined the Company.

 

You and the Company agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any dispute, claim or controversy between you and the Company relating in any manner to your employment with the Company, including but not limited to any future equity-based awards that may be granted to you as an employee or director of the Company or the breach, termination (whether voluntary or involuntary), enforcement, interpretation or validity of this letter, including without limitation the determination of the existence, scope, validity or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate, will be determined by arbitration in Los Angeles, California. The arbitration will be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Employment Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“Rules”), unless otherwise agreed to by the parties. A copy of the Rules may be obtained online at www.jamsadr.com/rules- employment-arbitration. You acknowledge that you have read and reviewed the Rules to the extent so desired before signing this letter agreement. The arbitration will be determined before one neutral arbitrator selected in accordance with Rule 15 of the Employment Arbitration Rules and Procedures. In arbitration, both you and the Company may conduct discovery to the same extent as would be permitted in a court of law, and both parties may be represented by an attorney. The arbitrator will issue a reasoned, written award that explains the legal and factual basis for the arbitrator’s decision on all claims and defenses presented to the arbitrator. The arbitrator will have the full authority to award all relief and remedies which would otherwise be available in a court of law, including, but not limited to, legal and equitable relief, monetary damages, attorneys’ fees, costs, and exemplary damages when authorized by applicable law. The award issued by the arbitrator will be final and binding upon the parties. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. This clause will not preclude you or the Company from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction. BY AGREEING TO BINDING AND MUTUAL ARBITRATION OF OUR CLAIMS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, BOTH YOU AND THE COMPANY GIVE UP ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY.

 

You and the Company further agree that each party will pay its own costs and attorneys’ fees, if any; provided, however, that the Company will pay any costs and expenses that you would not otherwise have incurred if the dispute had been adjudicated in a court of law, rather than through arbitration, including but not limited to the arbitrator’s fee, any administrative fee, and any filing fee in excess of the maximum court filing fee in the jurisdiction in which the arbitration is commenced.

 

You and the Company agree that each party will maintain the confidential nature of the arbitration proceeding and the award, including but not limited to the hearing, except as may be necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, or except as may be necessary in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy, a judicial challenge to an award or its enforcement, or unless otherwise required by law or judicial decision.

As an employee of the Company, you may learn about confidential, proprietary, or trade-secret information related to the Company and its clients. Other than in your work for the Company, we do not want you to use or disclose any such confidential, proprietary, or trade-secret information. By signing this letter, you reaffirm the terms and conditions of the Confidential Information and Inventions Assignment Agreement, which you signed when you joined the Company.

 

You and the Company agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any dispute, claim or controversy between you and the Company relating in any manner to your employment with the Company, including but not limited to any future equity-based awards that may be granted to you as an employee or director of the Company or the breach, termination (whether voluntary or involuntary), enforcement, interpretation or validity of this letter, including without limitation the determination of the existence, scope, validity or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate, will be determined by arbitration in Los Angeles, California. The arbitration will be administered by JAMS pursuant to its Employment Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“Rules”), unless otherwise agreed to by the parties. A copy of the Rules may be obtained online at www.jamsadr.com/rules- employment-arbitration. You acknowledge that you have read and reviewed the Rules to the extent so desired before signing this letter agreement.

In arbitration, both you and the Company may conduct discovery to the same extent as would be permitted in a court of law, and both parties may be represented by an attorney. The arbitrator will issue a reasoned, written award that explains the legal and factual basis for the arbitrator’s decision on all claims and defenses presented to the arbitrator. The arbitrator will have the full authority to award all relief and remedies which would otherwise be available in a court of law, including, but not limited to, legal and equitable relief, monetary damages, attorneys’ fees, costs, and exemplary damages when authorized by applicable law. The award issued by the arbitrator will be final and binding upon the parties. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

You and the Company further agree that each party will pay its own costs and attorneys’ fees, if any; provided, however, that the Company will pay any costs and expenses that you would not otherwise have incurred if the dispute had been adjudicated in a court of law, rather than through arbitration, including but not limited to the arbitrator’s fee, any administrative fee, and any filing fee in excess of the maximum court filing fee in the jurisdiction in which the arbitration is commenced.

 

You and the Company agree that each party will maintain the confidential nature of the arbitration proceeding and the award, including but not limited to the hearing, except as may be necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, or except as may be necessary in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy, a judicial challenge to an award or its enforcement, or unless otherwise required by law or judicial decision.

Exhibit 99.1

Snap Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2022 Financial Results

Daily Active Users increased 18% year-over-year to 347 million

Revenue increased 13% year-over-year to $1,111 million

Operating cash flow was $(124) million and Free Cash Flow was $(147) million

SANTA MONICA, Calif. – July 21, 2022 – Snap Inc. (NYSE: SNAP) today announced financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2022.

“While the continued growth of our community increases the long-term opportunity for our business, our financial results for Q2 do not reflect our ambition," said Evan Spiegel, CEO. "We are evolving our business and strategy to reaccelerate revenue growth, including innovating on our products, investing heavily in our direct response advertising business, and cultivating new sources of revenue to help diversify our topline growth."

 

Snap Inc. also announced today its Board of Directors has authorized a stock repurchase program of up to $500 million of its Class A common stock. Repurchases of the Class A common stock may be made on a discretionary basis from time to time, either through open market transactions (including through Rule 10b5-1 trading plans) or through privately negotiated transactions in accordance with applicable securities laws. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including stock price, trading volume, market and economic conditions, and other general business considerations. Repurchases under the program have been authorized for the next 12 months but the program may be modified, suspended, or terminated at any time.

 

The goal of the program is to utilize the company’s strong balance sheet to offset a portion of the dilution related to the issuance of restricted stock units to employees as part of the overall compensation program designed to foster an ownership culture.

 

Repurchases under this program will be funded from existing cash and cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2022, Snap had $4.9 billion in cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and marketable securities.



 

Q2 2022 Financial Summary

 

Revenue increased 13% to $1,111 million, compared to the prior year.

 

Net loss was $422 million, compared to $152 million in the prior year.

Operating cash flow was $(124) million, compared to $(101) million in the prior year.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, about us and our industry that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this press release, including statements regarding guidance, our future results of operations or financial condition, our stock repurchase program, future stock dividends, business strategy and plans, user growth and engagement, product initiatives, objectives of management for future operations, and advertiser and partner offerings, are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “contemplate,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “going to,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “target,” “will,” or “would” or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions. We caution you that the foregoing may not include all of the forward-looking statements made in this press release.

You should not rely on forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We have based the forward-looking statements contained in this press release primarily on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends, including our financial outlook, geo-political conflicts, and the COVID-19 pandemic, that we believe may continue to affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties related to: our financial performance; our ability to attain and sustain profitability; our ability to generate and sustain positive cash flow; our ability to attract and retain users, publishers, and advertisers; competition and new market entrants; managing our international expansion and our growth and future expenses; compliance with new laws, regulations, and executive actions; our ability to maintain, protect, and enhance our intellectual property; our ability to succeed in existing and new market segments; our ability to attract and retain qualified and key personnel; our ability to repay outstanding debt; future acquisitions, divestitures or investments; and the potential adverse impact of climate change, natural disasters, health epidemics, macroeconomic conditions, and war or other armed conflict, as well as risks, uncertainties, and other factors described in “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in our most recent periodic report filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, which is available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Additional information will be made available in Snap Inc.’s periodic report that will be filed with the SEC for the period covered by this press release and other filings that we make from time to time with the SEC. In addition, any forward-looking statements contained in this press release are based on assumptions that we believe to be reasonable as of this date. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this press release or to reflect new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events, including future developments related to geo-political conflicts, the COVID-19 pandemic, and macroeconomic conditions, except as required by law.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures, as described below, to understand and evaluate our core operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures, which may be different than similarly titled measures used by other companies, are presented to enhance investors’ overall understanding of our financial performance and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.

We use the non-GAAP financial measure of Free Cash Flow, which is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, reduced by purchases of property and equipment. We believe Free Cash Flow is an important liquidity measure of the cash that is available, after capital expenditures, for operational expenses and investment in our business and is a key financial indicator used by management. Additionally, we believe that Free Cash Flow is an important measure since we use third-party infrastructure partners to host our services and therefore we do not incur significant capital expenditures to support revenue generating activities. Free Cash Flow is useful to investors as a liquidity measure because it measures our ability to generate or use cash. Once our business needs and obligations are met, cash can be used to maintain a strong balance sheet and invest in future growth.

We use the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as net income (loss); excluding interest income; interest expense; other income (expense), net; income tax benefit (expense); depreciation and amortization; stock-based compensation expense and other payroll related tax expense; and certain other non-cash or non-recurring items impacting net income (loss) from time to time. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA helps identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the expenses that we exclude in Adjusted EBITDA.

6


We use the non-GAAP financial measure of non-GAAP net income (loss), which is defined as net income (loss); excluding amortization of intangible assets; stock-based compensation expense and other payroll related tax expense; certain other non-cash or non-recurring items impacting net income (loss) from time to time; and related income tax adjustments. Non-GAAP net income (loss) and weighted average diluted shares are then used to calculate non-GAAP diluted net income (loss) per share. Similar to Adjusted EBITDA, we believe these measures help identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the expenses we exclude in the measure.

We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information about our financial performance, enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by our management for financial and operational decision-making. We are presenting these non-GAAP measures to assist investors in seeing our financial performance through the eyes of management, and because we believe that these measures provide an additional tool for investors to use in comparing our core financial performance over multiple periods with other companies in our industry.

For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, please see “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

Total revenue for geographic reporting is apportioned to each region based on our determination of the geographic location in which advertising impressions are delivered, as this approximates revenue based on user activity. This allocation is consistent with how we determine ARPU.

(2)

We define Adjusted EBITDA margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by GAAP revenue.

Slide 1

Investor Letter Q2 2022 July 21, 2022 This Investor Letter contains forward-looking statements and non-GAAP financial measures, please see Appendix for additional information. Exhibit 99.2

Slide 2

The second quarter of 2022 proved more challenging than we expected. Revenue grew 13% year-over-year to $1.11 billion, which resulted in adjusted EBITDA of $7 million and free cash flow of negative $147 million. Daily active users (DAU) grew to 347 million, an increase of 54 million or 18% year-over-year in Q2. We also observed a number of encouraging engagement trends across our platform, including growth in overall content engagement. While the continued growth of our community increases the long-term opportunity for our business, our financial results for Q2 do not reflect the scale of our ambition. We are not satisfied with the results we are delivering, regardless of the current headwinds. From 2018 — our first full year as a public company — through the end of 2021, our revenue grew at an average compound annual rate of more than 50%. The rapid growth of our top line has been fueled by our fast-growing community, deep engagement with our platform, and a robust advertising business that has driven measurable returns for our advertising partners. However, over the past year, a series of significant headwinds have emerged that have disrupted this momentum. Platform policy changes have upended more than a decade of advertising industry standards, and macroeconomic challenges have disrupted many of the industry segments that have been most critical to the growing demand for our advertising solutions. We are also seeing increasing competition for advertising dollars that are now growing more slowly. Our revenue growth has substantially slowed, and we are evolving our business and strategy to adapt. We are working to reaccelerate growth and take share, but we believe it will likely take some time before we see significant improvements. To return to a higher rate of long-term revenue growth, we are focusing on three priorities. First, we will continue to invest in our products and platforms to sustain the growth of our community. Second, we will invest heavily in our direct-response advertising business to deliver measurable returns on advertising spending. Lastly, we will cultivate new sources of revenue that will help diversify our top-line growth to build a more resilient business. We also intend to recalibrate our investment levels to build a path to free cash flow break-even or better, even with reduced rates of revenue growth. We will continue to invest with a long-term perspective, especially in areas that are critical to realizing the long-term opportunity of augmented reality, but we are taking a hard look at how to better drive productivity across our teams. This will include a substantially reduced rate of hiring and a strict reprioritization of goals and initiatives across the company. We will also implement a stock repurchase program designed to offset the impact of dilution from our stock-based compensation program to protect the long-term value of our business for our investors. We expect to emerge from this recalibration as a more focused and more productive organization that is well positioned to capture the long-term growth opportunity we see ahead. SNAP INC. | Q2 2022 | INVESTOR LETTER 2

Slide 3

Snap’s co-founders, Bobby Murphy and Evan Spiegel, have each entered into new long-term employment agreements with the company to serve in their respective roles as CTO and CEO through at least January 1, 2027, in exchange for $1 per year and no equity compensation. The Board of Directors has also agreed to issue a stock split in the form of a dividend of one Class A share for each then-outstanding share if the Class A share price reaches $40 within the next ten years. The effect of the stock dividend, if paid, would allow Snap’s co-founders to donate or sell additional Class A shares instead of donating or selling Class B or Class C shares. The co-founders currently control over 99.5% of the company’s voting rights. Community We have remained focused on expanding our product offering and deepening engagement with our global community, and these efforts are reflected in DAU growth of 18% year-over-year. We are pleased to see elevated growth rates in the Rest of World region, which grew by 35% year-over-year to reach 162 million, providing further evidence that our international expansion strategy is working. We continue to invest in localizing our product offerings and improving application performance across a wide range of devices. Our communities in North America and Europe also continued to grow: DAU in North America grew by 4% year-over- year to reach 99 million, and DAU in Europe grew by 10% year-over- year to reach 86 million. We currently reach over 90% of 13- to 24-year-olds and 75% of 13- to 34-year-olds in over 20 countries. Product Over 250 million Snapchatters engage with augmented reality (AR) every day, on average, and we continue to make investments in both our core technology platform and community-facing AR experiences. In Q2, we released our latest version of Lens Studio to help creators build Lenses that are more personalized, immersive, and connected to the world. For example, with ML Environment Matching and Ray Tracing, AR objects render lighting and shadows realistically, and reflections shine in a way that is true to life. We DAILY ACTIVE USERS SNAP INC. | Q2 2022 | INVESTOR LETTER 3 Our community grew 18% year over year to reach 347 million On average, 250 Million+ Snapchatters engage with augmented reality every day.

Slide 4

THE INFATUATION The Infatuation’s Map Layer enables Snapchatters to browse restaurant recommendations directly on the Snap Map. now offer creators insight into how their Lenses are performing with Lens Analytics, providing creators with richer information around audience, engagement, events and camera metrics, all in a privacy-safe manner. SNAP INC. | Q2 2022 | INVESTOR LETTER 4 We are also excited about the growing demand from businesses who want to bring Snap’s AR capabilities into their own apps and websites. Camera Kit enables partners to easily integrate our AR technology and creator ecosystem. In Q2, we launched a collaboration with Smule, a popular music app for singing your favorite songs solo, with friends, or with top artists around the world. Smule’s Camera Kit integration brings the fun of AR to their community, and performances featuring Snap AR Lenses in Smule drove nearly 50% more views and 30% more “loves”' on average. In Q2, overall time spent watching content globally grew on a year-over-year basis, driven primarily by growth in total time spent with content on Discover and Spotlight. While still early in its growth and evolution, we are excited about the long-term potential of Spotlight and pleased with the engagement we’re seeing. Total time spent watching Spotlight content grew 59% year-over-year, and Spotlight monthly active users (MAU) grew 46% year-over-year to reach more than 270 million in Q2. Our Discover content partners continued to find success on our platform in Q2, with more than 40 Discover channels reaching over 25 million global viewers each. We renewed our partnerships with the NFL, WNBA, and NBA through content deals covering Discover Shows, Spotlight Challenges, and AR experiences. We also expanded our international content offerings by partnering with Axel Springer globally, ITV in the UK, Viacom 18 in India, and Paramount in Australia. Engagement with our Map continues to grow, with over 300 million Snapchatters engaging with the Map each month1. In Q2, we launched The Infatuation’s Map Layer, which enables Snapchatters to browse The Infatuation’s many restaurant

THREE PRIORITIES to improve our Direct-Response business: SNAP INC. | Q2 2022 | INVESTOR LETTER 5 1) Improve first-party measurement tools 2) Offer advertisers their preferred third-party measurement solutions 3) Continue our investment in ranking and personalization recommendations directly on our Map. We believe that new Map Layers add utility for Snapchatters while also driving organic engagement with local businesses, which we aim to convert into advertising partners over time. Minis allow developers to provide innovative experiences on Snapchat that incorporate friends while respecting user privacy. We released our new Minis Private Components System, offering developers the ability to securely add social elements like reviews and ratings to their Minis, thus leveraging their communities’ friend graphs on Snapchat in a privacy-safe manner. Since HBO Max launched their Stream Club feature powered by the Private Components System, Snapchatters have spent more time on average using the HBO Max Mini and inviting their friends to check out the Mini with them. Similarly, mobile service Ding has leveraged the Private Components System, leading to a higher percentage of Snapchatters sharing the Mini with friends. Monetization While we are excited about the progress we have made in terms of community growth and engagement, demand growth on our advertising platform has slowed significantly. The combination of macroeconomic headwinds, platform policy changes, and increased competition have limited the growth of campaign budgets. In some cases, advertisers have lowered their bids per action to reflect their current willingness to pay. For example, in some industries where topline growth remains strong, but businesses are experiencing input cost pressure due to inflation, we have observed reduced marketing spending and lower bids per action. In certain high-growth sectors, businesses are reassessing investment levels amid the rising cost of capital, which is further reflected in campaign budgets and the level of bids per action. We continue to see significant room to drive growth via our direct- response advertising platform because digital advertising provides a measurable return on spend. Even amid current headwinds, there are several verticals finding success at scale on our platform,

and we believe they can serve as a blueprint as we prioritize our roadmaps to support our advertising partners. This will involve three core priorities: improving our privacy-preserving first-party (1P) measurement tools including Advanced Conversions (AC) and Estimated Conversions (EC); ensuring our advertising performance is represented well in advertisers’ preferred third-party (3P) measurement solutions; and, finally, continuing our investment in ranking and personalization. We believe that our work against these priorities, along with the scale and engagement of our audience and rapid product innovation, provides a path to regain momentum and drive performance at scale for businesses globally. In response to ongoing platform policy changes, we have seen many advertisers adapt their strategies. We are working to scale our first-party attribution solutions through more partner integrations, increased solutions engineering support, and by making these integrations easier and less costly. These integrations bring additional signals into our optimization models and enhance our first party measurement solutions including AC and EC. Many advertisers who have recently integrated with our attribution solutions are already seeing success. For example, luxury footwear brand Level Shoes was able to accurately capture the cross-platform impact of its Snap Ads campaign after recently integrating with our Conversions API (CAPI). Their campaign resulted in a 171% increase in return on ad spend on web after implementing CAPI. We want to ensure that our advertising performance is easily measured via advertisers’ preferred third-party solutions. For web-based advertisers, our near-term focus is on web analytics tools like Google Analytics. We are working to increase in-session conversions by improving the technical performance and user experience of our ad products, which will make these conversions easier to measure by increasing their observability. Our work here includes reducing load times, allowing intelligent preloading of assets, improving form autofill, and deep-linking to external browsers. For app-based advertisers, our near-term focus is on The Level Shoes campaign achieved a 171% increase in ROAS on web after implementing CAPI. LEVEL SHOES SNAP INC. | Q2 2022 | INVESTOR LETTER 6

both SKAdNetwork and mobile measurement partners. In Q3, this will primarily involve preparing to support SKAN 4.0. We are still early in the journey of adjusting our core ranking models to properly incorporate SKAN-based signals and seeing significant gains from each incremental model release. SKAN 4.0 adds more granularity for lower-funnel goals, which we believe will provide even more headroom for improvement. Our third priority is continuing to invest in improving ranking and personalization. We are focused on cultivating new models that leverage privacy-safe signals in order to deliver the optimal ad to the optimal Snapchatter at the optimal moment. In order to improve signal capture and utilization we will leverage privacy- preserving signals from CAPI and increase the utilization of organic signals from our AR Shopping Lenses as well as from Public Profiles for Businesses. The use of these first-party interactions on our platform will provide new signals to inform improved ranking and relevance. We believe there is already significant marginal return available to advertisers who invest holistically in our products. In the first half of the year, we began to scale our Multi-Format Delivery offering between Story Ads and Snap Ads, with a small set of goals to make it easier to manage, optimize, and measure campaign performance across all formats. We will expand the availability of this solution, particularly AR, over the course of this year. This is because we know our products work better together. For example, Domino’s leveraged Snap Ads, Story Ads, Commercials, and a Reaction Lens to launch a multi-cell test targeting their broad audience to support their Mind Ordering campaign. The Reaction Lens helped extend the reach of their video creative by putting their content in the Snap camera and inviting users to participate in the Mind Ordering storyline via AR. The campaign helped drive an increase in brand association and incremental purchase lift for Domino’s while providing a fun and relevant way to connect with Gen Z and millennial audiences.

60M 42% Try-Ons Higher ROAS ZENNI We are also working hard to deliver new revenue-generating opportunities, including Spotlight, augmented reality advertising, our Snapchat+ subscription service, and, over time, by monetizing the Snap Map. SNAP INC. | Q2 2022 | INVESTOR LETTER 8 We see a massive opportunity for AR-driven product innovation in e-commerce. Since January of 2021, more than 250 million Snapchatters have engaged with AR shopping Lenses more than 5 billion times, and we intend to focus on translating this AR engagement into AR revenue. Over the past year, we have made significant progress in driving real-world results using AR shopping tools. For example, Zenni Optical’s AR Lenses have been tried on over 60 million times by Snapchatters, and Lenses that used our true-size technology drove a 42% higher return on ad spend compared to Lenses without. Similarly, last quarter, we provided our commerce partners with an opportunity to bring Snap’s AR try- on technology into their own apps and websites using Camera Kit for Shopping. Puma is our first global brand partner to adopt this technology, bringing AR footwear try-on to their brand new mobile app, and we are excited to work with more partners to build out incredible AR experiences. We also recently launched Snapchat+, a new way for our community to access exclusive, experimental, and pre-release features for $3.99 per month. This service launched less than one month ago, and we are excited about the long-term potential for this service to deliver compelling experiences for the most passionate members of our community. This week, we released Snapchat for Web starting with Snapchat+ subscribers in the US, UK, and Canada, as well as for Snapchatters across Australia and New Zealand. Finally, we will expand our average revenue per user (ARPU) opportunity on the Snap Map by driving organic engagement with Places on our Map and, ultimately, providing location-based advertising products. To that end, we have begun experimenting

For select advertisers running Snap Ads that direct users to a location on the Map, we also promote the Places directly on the Map during the campaign. While this was a small early test, it is a notable milestone in our explorations of the Map as an advertising surface. Financials Our revenue grew 13% year-over-year to reach $1.11 billion in Q2. We observed a 25 percentage point deceleration in revenue growth quarter-over-quarter, with revenue decelerating as we moved through the quarter. The deceleration in revenue growth was observed across both our direct-response and brand advertising businesses, even as direct-response advertising grew modestly faster. Additionally, we continued to see demand grow faster for mid and upper-funnel objectives while growing relatively slower for lower-funnel app-based goal-based bidding (GBB) that have been most directly impacted by platform policy changes. In Q2, eCPM increased by 4% year-over-year, while 9% impression growth delivered the balance of year-over-year revenue growth, with impression growth driven primarily by growth in content engagement. We continue to work diligently to improve measurement and optimization for our partners, and we have observed a quarter-over-quarter decline in CPA across all of our GBB objectives, even as the volume of actions driven has risen in aggregate and for nearly all of our GBBs. Adjusted gross margin was 61% in Q2, an increase of approximately 5 percentage points year-over-year. Infrastructure cost per DAU was $0.58 in Q2, down from $0.62 the prior year, and equal to the record low as a public company of $0.58 that we reported in the prior quarter. We believe the progress we have made in driving down our unit costs over time provides validation for our asset-light infrastructure model, which has, in turn, enabled us to hold CapEx investment at less than 2% of revenue over the trailing 12 months.

ADJUSTED OPERATING EXPENSES ($)3 Q2 ‘21 427M Q2 ‘22 665M GAAP OPERATING EXPENSES ($) Q2 ‘21 730M Q2 ‘22 1,065M ADJUSTED EBITDA ($)4 Q2 ‘21 117M Q2 ‘22 7M GAAP NET INCOME ($) Q2 ‘21 -152M Q2 ‘22 SNAP INC. | Q2 2022 | INVESTOR LETTER 10 -422M Adjusted operating expenses were $665 million in Q2, up 56% year-over-year. Total personnel costs were up 44% year-over-year, driven by a 38% increase in full-time head count as well as the impact of acquisitions completed over the last year. Marketing was the next-largest driver of year-over-year adjusted operating expense growth, with total marketing spend increasing 86% year- over-year in Q2, due in part to the timing of marketing campaigns and activations relative to the prior year. Additionally, we continue to see costs return to our cost structure that were otherwise diminished during the pandemic period, which collectively contributed approximately 4 percentage points to the year over year growth rate in Q2. Adjusted EBITDA was $7 million in Q2, compared to $117 million in Q2 of the prior year, reflecting the revenue and cost growth noted earlier. Net loss was $422 million in Q2, compared to a net loss of $152 million in Q2 of the prior year. The $270 million higher net loss reflects the flow-through of the $110 million decline in adjusted EBITDA; a $91 million unfavorable change in investment income due to a combination of prior-year quarter gains and current quarter net losses on investments; $51 million higher depreciation and amortization largely reflecting accelerated amortization of intangible assets resulting from our initial efforts to reprioritize and refocus our operations; $47 million higher stock- based compensation due largely to growth in headcount; and $9 million in higher taxes, partially offset by the impact of $37 million in expenses related to the early conversion of convertible notes in the prior year. Total fully diluted shares grew 3.3% year-over-year in Q2, down from 4.0% in the prior year when dilution was elevated by the impact of early conversions of our convertible notes that contributed 2.3% to the dilution rate. The portion of our year-over- year share count growth driven by stock-based compensation was 2.5% in Q2, up from 1.7% in the prior year. Q2 is the quarter during which we have historically issued ongoing grants to existing team members and the year-over-year decline in our stock price —

OPERATING CASH FLOW ($) Q2 ‘21 -101M Q2 ‘22 -124M We’re announcing a stock repurchase program of up to $500 million to protect shareholder value from the impact of dilution. CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS, AND MARKETABLE SECURITIES ($) Q2 ‘21 3,467M Q2 ‘22 4,872M FREE CASH FLOW ($)5 Q2 ‘21 -116M Q2 ‘22 SNAP INC. | Q2 2022 | INVESTOR LETTER 11 -147M combined with the growth of our team — were the primary drivers of the increase in dilution related to stock-based compensation in the current period. To protect shareholder value from the impact of dilution, we are announcing a stock repurchase program of up to $500 million. If executed at our trailing 30-day average stock price, this stock repurchase program would be sufficient to offset the vast majority of the dilution from stock-based compensation over the trailing 12 months. Given the strength of our balance sheet — with approximately $4.9 billion in cash and marketable securities on hand and total outstanding convertible debt of $3.7 billion with no debt maturing prior to 2025 — we believe this is a responsible investment to minimize the impact of stock-based compensation on our share count. Free cash flow for Q2 was negative $147 million, reflecting the collection of seasonally lower revenue generated in the prior quarter, while trailing twelve-month free cash flow was $172 million. Operating cash flow was negative $124 million, similarly reflecting the impact of collecting seasonally low revenue generated in the prior quarter, while trailing twelve month operating cash flow was $260 million. As we look toward Q3, we are pleased with the momentum we have observed in our community, and we estimate that DAU will be approximately 360 million in Q3. Thus far in Q3, revenue is approximately flat on a year-over-year basis. Forward-looking visibility remains incredibly challenging, and it is unclear how the headwinds we observed in Q2 will evolve as we move through Q3. Given this, we do not intend to provide financial guidance for Q3. That said, it is clear that our rate of revenue growth has slowed considerably and we must adapt our investment strategy. We intend to substantially slow our rate of hiring, as well as the rate of operating expense growth. We will reprioritize our investments and drive a renewed focus on productivity. As we implement these changes, we will focus on sustaining the investments we believe are most critical to capitalizing on the future of AR and executing on the priorities we have articulated above. We may incur transition

costs in the near term as we execute on these changes, but we expect to emerge with a more focused cost structure as a result. While our Q2 financial results do not reflect our ambition for our business, we will meet the challenges of the current operating environment by prioritizing the needs of our community and partners who are essential to our success, investing heavily in our direct-response advertising business to deliver measurable return on investment for our advertising partners, and executing against our enormous opportunity in augmented reality as we work to accelerate our road map and deliver against our long-term plans for computing overlaid on the world. We are deeply grateful for the continued support of our team members, customers, partners, and investors as we continue to innovate and work towards our business goals. We define a Map Active User as a registered Snapchat user who opens the map at least once during the period of interest. Prior to June 2022, we reported Map Active Users using a different methodology. As a result, Map Active Users are not comparable to those in prior periods. We define adjusted gross margin as GAAP revenue less adjusted cost of revenue, and as a percentage, divided by GAAP revenue. Adjusted cost of revenue excludes stock- based compensation expense and other payroll related tax expense, depreciation and amortization, and certain other non-cash or nonrecurring items impacting net income (loss) from time to time of $8 million and $8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Adjusted operating expenses excludes stock-based compensation expense and other payroll related tax expense, depreciation and amortization, and certain other non-cash or non-recurring items impacting net income (loss) from time to time of $400 million and $302 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), excluding interest income; interest expense; other income (expense), net; income tax benefit (expense); depreciation and amortization; stockbased compensation expense and other payroll related tax expense; and certain other non-cash or non-recurring items impacting net income (loss) from time to time. See Appendix for reconciliation of net loss to Adjusted EBITDA. We define Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, reduced by purchases of property and equipment.

To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures, as described below, to understand and evaluate our core operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures, which may be different than similarly titled measures used by other companies, are presented to enhance investors’ overall understanding of our financial performance and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. We use the non-GAAP financial measure of Free Cash Flow, which is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, reduced by purchases of property and equipment. We believe Free Cash Flow is an important liquidity measure of the cash that is available, after capital expenditures, for operational expenses and investment in our business and is a key financial indicator used by management. Additionally, we believe that Free Cash Flow is an important measure since we use third-party infrastructure partners to host our services and therefore we do not incur significant capital expenditures to support revenue generating activities. Free Cash Flow is useful to investors as a liquidity measure because it measures our ability to generate or use cash. Once our business needs and obligations are met, cash can be used to maintain a strong balance sheet and invest in future growth. We use the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as net income (loss); excluding interest income; interest expense; other income (expense), net; income tax benefit (expense); depreciation and amortization; stock-based compensation expense and other payroll related tax expense; and certain other non-cash or non-recurring items impacting net income (loss) from time to time. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA helps identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the expenses that we exclude in Adjusted EBITDA. We use the non-GAAP financial measure of non-GAAP net income (loss), which is defined as net income (loss); excluding amortization of intangible assets; stock-based compensation expense and other payroll related tax expense; certain other non- cash or non-recurring items impacting net income (loss) from time to time; and related income tax adjustments. Non-GAAP net income (loss) and weighted average diluted shares are then used to calculate non-GAAP diluted net income (loss) per share. Similar to Adjusted EBITDA, we believe these measures help identify underlying trends in our business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the expenses we exclude in the measure. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information about our financial performance, enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by our management for financial and operational decision-making. We are presenting these non-GAAP measures to assist investors in seeing our financial performance through the eyes of management, and because we believe that these measures provide an additional tool for investors to use in comparing our core financial performance over multiple periods with other companies in our industry. For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, please see “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” included as an Appendix to this letter.

We define Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, reduced by purchases of property and equipment.
