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

On June 14, 2023, Fastly, Inc. (“Fastly”) held its 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2023 Annual Meeting”). The following is a brief description of each matter voted upon at the Annual Meeting, as well as the final tally of the number of votes cast: (a) for or withhold with respect to the election of directors; (b) for, against or abstain for the ratification of the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP as Fastly’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023; (c) for, against, or abstain for the approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of Fastly’s named executive officers; and (d) for, against or abstain for the approval of the performance-based nonstatutory stock option to Artur Bergman, Fastly’s founder, Chief Architect, and member of the Board of Directors. Broker non-votes are also reported. A more complete description of each matter is set forth in Fastly’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 28, 2023 (the “Proxy Statement”).

Proposal 1:	Each of the three directors proposed by Fastly for election was elected by the following votes to serve until Fastly’s 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until his or her respective successor has been elected and qualified, or, if sooner, until the director’s death, resignation or removal. The tabulation of votes on this matter was as follows:
		For	Withhold	Broker Non-Votes
	Aida Álvarez	36,766,775	32,627,978	27,482,434
	Richard Daniels	65,565,302	3,829,451	27,482,434
	Todd Nightingale	68,171,014	1,223,739	27,482,434
Proposal 2:	The selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP as Fastly’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023 was ratified. The tabulation of votes on this matter was as follows:
	For	Against	Abstain
	95,609,028	1,160,255	107,904
Proposal 3:	The compensation of Fastly’s named executive officers, as disclosed in the Proxy Statement, was not approved on an advisory basis. The tabulation of votes on this matter was as follows:
	For	Against	Abstain	Broker Non-Votes
	32,708,795	36,529,865	156,093	27,482,434
Proposal 4:	The grant of the performance-based nonstatutory stock option (the “Bergman Performance Award”) to Artur Bergman, Fastly’s Founder, Chief Architect, and member of the Board of Directors was not approved. Approval of the Bergman Performance Award required the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of (1) the shares of our common stock present online or by proxy at the 2023 Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the matter (the “Majority Standard”) and (2) the shares of our common stock present online or by proxy at the 2023 Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the matter that are not owned, directly or indirectly, by Mr. Bergman (the “Disinterested Standard”). The tabulation of votes on this matter was as follows: (1) Pursuant to the Majority Standard, the votes were as follows:
	For	Against	Abstain	Broker Non-Votes
	27,357,284	41,911,222	126,247	27,482,434
	Accordingly, the votes cast in favor of approving the Bergman Performance Award constituted approximately 39.42% of all votes present online or by proxy at the 2023 Annual Meeting (with abstentions having the same effect as “Against” votes and broker non-votes having no effect) pursuant to the Majority Standard. (2) Pursuant to the Disinterested Standard, the votes were as follows:
	For	Against	Abstain	Broker Non-Votes
	18,651,099	41,911,222	126,247	27,482,434
	Accordingly, the votes cast in favor of approving the Bergman Performance Award constituted approximately 30.73% of all votes present online or by proxy at the 2023 Annual Meeting (with abstentions having the same effect as “Against” votes and broker non-votes having no effect) pursuant to the Disinterested Standard.
