EXPLANATORY NOTE

2019 Equity Incentive Plan

The 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2019 Plan") of Fastly, Inc. (the "Registrant") provides that the total number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2019 Plan will automatically increase on January 1st of each calendar year, from January 1, 2020 to January 1, 2029, in an amount equal to 5% of the total number of shares of the Registrant's capital stock outstanding on the last day of the preceding year, or a lesser number of shares determined by the Registrant's Board of Directors. Accordingly, on January 1, 2026, the number of shares of the Registrant's Class A common stock ("Class A Common Stock") that may be issued under the 2019 Plan increased by 7,576,863 shares (or 5% of the outstanding shares of the Registrant's Capital Stock (as defined in the 2019 Plan) as of December 31, 2025).

2019 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The 2019 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "2019 ESPP") of the Registrant provides that the total number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2019 ESPP will automatically increase on January 1st of each calendar year, from January 1, 2020 to January 1, 2029, by the lesser of (i) one percent (1%) of the total number of shares of Capital Stock (as defined in the 2019 ESPP) outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding calendar year, and (ii) 2,500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock; provided that prior to the date of any such increase, the Registrant's Board of Directors may determine that such increase will be less than the amount set forth in clauses (i) and (ii). Accordingly, on January 1, 2026, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock reserved under the 2019 ESPP increased by 1,515,372 shares (or 1% of the outstanding shares of the Registrant's capital stock as of December 31, 2025).

These additional shares of Class A Common Stock are securities of the same class as other securities for which the Registration Statements on Form S-8 were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on May 17, 2019 (File No. 333-231558), on April 13, 2020 (File No. 333-237655), on October 15, 2020 (File No. 333-249504), on March 1, 2021 (File No. 333-253745), on March 2, 2022 (File No. 333-263191), on February 27, 2023 (File No. 333-270026), on February 22, 2024 (File No. 333-277238), and on February 26, 2025 (File No. 333-285243) (together, the "Prior Forms S-8").

This Registration Statement relates to securities of the same class as that to which the Prior Forms S-8 relate and is submitted in accordance with General Instruction E to Form S-8. Pursuant to General Instruction E to Form S-8, the contents of the Prior Forms S-8, to the extent relating to the registration of Class A Common Stock issuable under the 2019 Plan and the 2019 ESPP, are incorporated herein by reference and made part of this Registration Statement, except as amended hereby.
