At the same time, BuzzFeed News’s Editor in Chief announced he was stepping down.

The previous week on March 15, 2022, the New York Times reports 77 former and current BuzzFeed employees have filed claims with the American Arbitration Association seeking compensatory damages in excess of $8.7 million. According to the article, in the days following BuzzFeed’s December IPO through a special purpose acquisition company (or SPAC) called 890 Fifth Avenue Partners, the company’s stock plummeted. Some employees state that they were unable to sell their shares until the price had dropped nearly 60%, while others state that they are still unable to sell their shares to this day. Following this news, BuzzFeed stock price plunged 6.8% on March 23, 2022, causing significant harm to investors.
