Item 5.01.   Changes in Control of Registrant.

On or about July 24, 2012, Mark Pincus, the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Product Officer of Zynga Inc. (the “Company”), became the beneficial owner of approximately 50.15% of the total voting power of the Company’s outstanding capital stock as of July 24, 2012. Mr. Pincus’ voting power increased to over 50% of the total voting power of the Company as a result of sales and/or transfers by other stockholders of the Company of Class B Common Stock, which pursuant to the terms of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation resulted in the conversion of their shares from Class B Common Stock (which is entitled to seven votes per share) to Class A Common Stock (which is entitled to one vote per share), effectively decreasing the voting power percentages of such other stockholders relative to Mr. Pincus. Such change was not the result of any purchase of our capital stock by Mr. Pincus or any other transaction to which Mr. Pincus was a party. As a result of future sales or issuances of capital stock by the Company, and/or exercises, settlements or conversions of options, warrants or restricted stock units, and additional conversions of Class B common stock into shares of Class A common stock, Mr. Pincus’ voting power will fluctuate and may in the future decrease below, and then back above, 50% of the total voting power of the Company.

There are no arrangements known to the Company, the operation of which may, at a subsequent date, result in a change in control of the Company.
