Zynga has determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the SEC, and therefore it represents sole or shared voting or investment power with respect to Zynga’s securities. In accordance with the rules of the SEC, for purposes of determining beneficial ownership of shares of Zynga common stock for purposes of the following table, Zynga has deemed shares of Zynga common stock subject to stock options currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of March 31, 2022 and to restricted stock units and performance stock units vesting within 60 days of March 31, 2022 to be outstanding and to be beneficially owned by the person holding the option or restricted stock unit, including for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of that person, but has not treated them as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

Zynga has based percentage ownership of Zynga common stock set forth in the tables below on 1,137,275,859 shares of Zynga common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2022, adjusted in accordance with the rules of the SEC.

The information set forth in the tables below is based upon information supplied by our executive officers, directors, and principal stockholders and Schedules 13D and Schedules 13G, if any, filed with the SEC.
