Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; 
Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(b)(d) On July 30, 2024, Jennifer B. Morgan notified the Board of Directors 
(the "Board") of Bumble Inc. (the "Company" or "Bumble") of her decision to 
resign from the Board, effective as of July 30, 2024. Ms. Morgan was recently 
appointed Chief Executive Officer of UKG, a provider of workforce management 
and human resource management services, and her decision to resign from the 
Company's Board was not the result of any disagreement (i) with the Company, 
the Company's management, or any other member of the Board, or (ii) on any 
matter relating to the Company's operations, policies, or practices.
Bumble and the Board wish to thank Ms. Morgan for her service and 
contributions to the Company.
On August 1, 2024, the Board appointed Martin Brand to the Board, effective as 
of August 1, 2024. Mr. Brand was previously the non-voting observer to the 
Board designated by Blackstone Inc. ("Blackstone") pursuant to the 
Stockholders Agreement, dated February 10, 2021, by and among the Company and 
each of the other persons from time to time party thereto (the "Stockholders 
Agreement"). Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, Blackstone has designated 
Mr. Brand to serve as a director on the Board to fill the vacancy created by 
the resignation of Ms. Morgan. Mr. Brand will serve as a Class I director with 
a term expiring at the Company's annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 
2025. Mr. Brand has not been named to any committees of the Board at this time.

In connection with his appointment, Mr. Brand will enter into the Company's 
standard form indemnification agreement for directors and officers. As a 
director appointed by Blackstone, Mr. Brand will not receive compensation in 
connection with his service as a director on the Board.
Mr. Brand has no family relationship with any director or executive officer of 
the Company, and he has no direct or indirect material interest in any 
transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

                                       2
