**Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.**

Under the Credit Agreement, dated as of May 23, 2025 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Credit Agreement"), BuzzFeed, Inc. (the "Company"), BuzzFeed Media Enterprises, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and certain of the Company's other domestic and Canadian subsidiaries as borrowers and guarantors (the "Borrowers") were required to repay $5.0 million of principal on February 20, 2026 to the financial institutions party thereto (the "Lenders").

As disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K dated February 20, 2026, on February 20, 2026, the Lenders and Sound Point Agency LLC, as agent for the Lenders (the "Agent"), consented to amend Section 2.05(b)(iii) of the Credit Agreement by deleting "February 20, 2026" as the due date for the repayment of the $5.0 million of principal and inserting instead "February 27, 2026."

On February 27, 2026, the Lenders and the Agent consented to further amend Section 2.05(b)(iii) of the Credit Agreement, by deleting "February 27, 2026" (as previously amended) as the due date of the repayment of the $5.0 million of principal and inserting instead "March 6, 2026" (the "Second Consent Letter").

If the $5.0 million payment is not made when due, and remains unpaid following the expiration of any applicable cure period as defined in the Credit Agreement, an event of default would occur. Such a default, absent a waiver or amendment from the Lender, would permit the Lender to exercise its contractual remedies, subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement. For further information regarding the Credit Agreement's terms, refer to the Current Report filed on Form 8-K dated May 23, 2025.

The foregoing description of the Second Consent Letter does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Second Consent Letter, which is incorporated herein by reference.

**Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.**

The information set forth in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.

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

On March 2, 2026, BuzzFeed, Inc. (the "<u>Company</u>") received a letter (the "<u>Notice</u>") from the Listing Qualifications Department (the "<u>Staff</u>") of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("<u>Nasdaq</u>") notifying the Company that, for the previous 30 consecutive business days, the bid price for the Company's common stock had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the "<u>Bid Price Requirement</u>"). The Notice has no effect at this time on the Company's common stock or warrants, which continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbols "BZFD" and "BZFDW," respectively.

In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has been provided an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until August 31, 2026 (the "<u>Compliance Date</u>"), to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement. If, at any time before the Compliance Date, the bid price for the Company's common stock closes at $1.00 or more for at least 10 consecutive business days, unless the Staff exercises its discretion to extend this 10-day period pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(H), the Staff will provide written notification to the Company that it has regained compliance with the Bid Price Requirement.

If the Company is not in compliance with the Bid Price Requirement by the Compliance Date, the Company may qualify for a second 180 calendar day compliance period. To qualify, the Company would be required, among other things, to meet the continued listing requirement for the market value of publicly held shares, as well as the standards for initial listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market with the exception of the Bid Price Requirement, and would need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the bid price deficiency during the second compliance period. If the Company does not qualify for, or fails to regain compliance during, a second compliance period (assuming it qualifies for a second compliance period), then the Staff will provide written notification to the Company that its common stock will be subject to delisting. At that time, the Company may appeal the Staff's delisting determination to the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel. However, there can be no assurance that, if the Company receives a delisting notice and appeals the delisting determination, such an appeal would be successful.

The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its common stock and may, if appropriate, consider available options to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement.

***Exhibit 10.1***

**Execution Version**

February 20, 2026

BuzzFeed Media Enterprises, Inc. 50 West 23rd Street, 6th Floor New York, New York 10010 Attention: David Arroyo

Re:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Consent Letter (this "Letter")</u>

Reference is hereby made to that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of May 23, 2025 (as amended by that certain Amendment No. 1 to the Credit Agreement dated as of July 31, 2025, as amended by that certain Amendment No. 2 to Credit Agreement dated as of August 25, 2025, and as further amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the "<u>Credit</u> <u>Agreement</u>"), by and among BuzzFeed Media Enterprises, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "<u>Borrower</u> <u>Agent</u>"), the other Borrowers party thereto, the Guarantors from time to time party thereto, the Lenders from time to time party thereto, and Sound Point Agency LLC ("<u>Sound Point</u>"), as administrative agent (together with successors and assigns, the "<u>Administrative Agent</u>"). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Credit Agreement.

**Background**

Under Section 2.05(b)(iii) of the Credit Agreement, the Borrowers are required to repay the Loans on February 20, 2026, in a principal amount equal to $5,000,000. The Loan Parties have requested that the Agent and the Lender defer the payment date set forth in Section 2.05(b)(iii) of the Credit Agreement from February 20, 2026 to March 6, 2026.

**Consent**

Subject to the terms of this Letter and satisfaction of the conditions set forth below, the Agent and the Lender hereby consent to the following amendment to the Credit Agreement: Section 2.05(b)(iii) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the date "February 20, 2026" and inserting "March 6, 2026" in lieu thereof.

**Conditions to Effectiveness**

This consent letter shall become effective upon the date that the Agent has confirmed satisfaction of the following conditions: (i) the Agent's receipt of one or more counterparts of this consent letter executed by the Borrower Agent, each other Borrower and the Lender; and (ii) the entry by the Borrower Agent, the Agent and the Reporting Agent into the Reporting Agent Engagement Letter.

In addition to the foregoing, the Borrower agrees to pay an extension fee (the "<u>Extension Fee</u>") to the Agent in an aggregate amount equal to $20,000 on or prior to March 2, 2026. The failure to pay the Extension Fee on or prior to March 2, 2026 shall constitute an immediate Event of Default under Section 9.01(a) of the Credit Agreement.

**Miscellaneous**

------

This Letter shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York. This Letter may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Letter by facsimile transmission, e-mail delivery of a ".pdf" format data file or other electronic copy (e.g., DocuSign) shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. In case any provision in this Letter shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be severable from the remainder of this Letter, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The provisions of <u>Article 1</u> (Definitions) and <u>Article 11</u> (General Provisions) of the Credit Agreement will apply with like effect to this Letter and any dispute arising hereunder.

The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Letter shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be deemed to be an amendment or modification of, or operate as a waiver of, any provision of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or any right, power or remedy of the Lenders, nor, except as expressly provided herein, constitute a waiver or amendment of any provision of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any other document, instrument and/or agreement executed or delivered in connection therewith or of any Default or Event of Default under any of the foregoing, in each case whether arising before or after the date hereof or as a result of performance thereunder.
