Amendment Description	Shutterstock, Inc. (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (this “Amendment”) to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 (the “Original Form 10-K”), which the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 17, 2026. This Amendment is being filed solely to include the information required by Part III of Form 10-K. This information was previously omitted from the Original Form 10-K in reliance on General Instruction G(3) to Form 10-K, which permits the information in Part III to be incorporated in the Form 10-K by reference from the Company’s definitive proxy statement if such statement is filed no later than 120 days after the Company’s fiscal year-end.Pursuant to Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), this Amendment also contains new certifications pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which are being filed as exhibits to this Amendment under Item 15 of Part IV. Because no financial statements have been included in this Form 10-K/A and this Form 10-K/A does not contain or amend any disclosure with respect to Items 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K, paragraphs 3, 4, and 5 of the certifications have been omitted.Except as described above, no other portion of the Original Form 10-K is amended hereby, and the Original Form 10-K continues to speak as of the date of the original filing of the Original Form 10-K. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original Form 10-K and the Company’s filings made with the SEC subsequent to the date of the Original Form 10-K.
