INFORMATION STATEMENT FOR THE 2022 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

July 20, 2022

INFORMATION REGARDING THE MEETING

This information statement is being made available to our stockholders to provide information regarding our 2022 annual meeting of stockholders to be held on Wednesday, July 20, 2022 at 1:00 p.m. Pacific time. The meeting will be held online. The record date for the meeting is June 10, 2022, or the "Record Date." Additional information about the meeting is included below under "Questions and Answers about this Information Statement and the Meeting."

As of the close of business on June 10, 2022, we had 1,386,562,899 shares of Class A common stock, 22,638,471 shares of Class B common stock, and 231,626,943 shares of Class C common stock outstanding. Holders of our Class A common stock are not entitled to vote on any pending matters. Holders of our Class B common stock as of the Record Date are entitled to one vote per share and holders of Class C common stock as of the Record Date are entitled to ten votes per share. Holders of shares of Class B common stock and Class C common stock will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders.

As a result of the Class B common stock and Class C common stock that they hold and have voting power to as of the Record Date, Evan Spiegel, our co-founder and Chief Executive Officer, and Robert Murphy, our co-founder and Chief Technology Officer, will be able to exercise voting rights with respect to over 99.5% of the voting power of our outstanding capital stock entitled to vote. As a result, Mr. Spiegel and Mr. Murphy, or Mr. Spiegel acting alone, have the ability to control the outcome of all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval.

We have been informed that Mr. Spiegel and Mr. Murphy intend to act by written consent to vote their shares of Class C common stock:

  1. "FOR" the election of each of the named nominees for director; and (2) "FOR" ratification of the appointment of our independent public accounting firm for fiscal year 2022. Accordingly, we expect Proposals 1 and 2 to be approved by written consent prior to the meeting.

Because our directors will be elected by written consent, and not at the meeting, our 2022 meeting of stockholders may not be an annual meeting of stockholders under the Delaware General Corporation Law. For all other purposes, we treat the meeting as our annual meeting of stockholders.

Stockholders may submit any questions to management in advance of the meeting by sending them to AnnualMeeting@snap.com on or before July 14, 2022.

PROPOSAL 1

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

As recommended by our nominating and corporate governance committee, our board of directors has nominated, and recommended that our stockholders approve, the re-election of the current directors.

Each of the nominees listed below is currently a director of Snap. Each director to be elected will hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until his or her successor is elected and qualified, or, if sooner, until the director's death, resignation, or removal. Each person nominated for election has agreed to serve if elected. Snap's management has no reason to believe that any nominee will be unable to serve. It is Snap's policy to encourage nominees for directors to attend the annual meeting.

In accordance with Delaware law and our certificate of incorporation, stockholders may act by written consent to elect directors. However, if the consent is less than unanimous, an action by written consent may be in lieu of holding an annual meeting only if all of the directorships to which directors could be elected at an annual meeting held at the effective time of such action are vacant and are filled by that action. As a result, the written consent will first remove each director and then immediately elect the nominated directors.

Nominees

The nominating and corporate governance committee seeks to assemble a board that, as a whole, possesses the appropriate balance of professional and industry knowledge, financial expertise, and high-level management experience necessary to oversee and direct Snap's business. To that end, the committee has identified and evaluated nominees in the broader context of the board's overall composition, with the goal of recruiting members who complement and strengthen the skills of other members and who also exhibit integrity, sound business judgment, and other qualities that the committee views as critical to effective functioning of a board of directors.

The name and age of each nominee for director as of December 31, 2021, his or her position with us, the year in which he or she first became a director, if applicable, and certain biographical information is listed below. For more information about our board of directors, please see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.
