AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO FORM 8-A

We hereby amend the following items, exhibits or other portions of our Form 8-A filed on July 15, 2015 related to our Rights Agreement, as set forth below.

Item 1. Description of Registrant’s Securities to be Registered.

On August 18, 2015, Synacor, Inc. (“Synacor”) entered into the First Amendment to the Rights Agreement (the “Amendment”) with American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC (the “Rights Agent”). The Amendment amends, effective as of August 18, 2015, that certain Rights Agreement (the “Rights Agreement”) dated as of July 14, 2014 between Synacor and the Rights Agent to provide that (i) issuances of securities under plans, contracts or arrangements approved by Synacor’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) or its compensation committee as compensation for service as a director, employee or consultant of Synacor or any of its subsidiaries will not trigger the exercisability of rights or other provisions of the Rights Agreement and (ii) issuances of securities in consideration for the acquisition of assets or a business in a transaction approved by the Board will not trigger the exercisability of rights or other provisions of the Rights Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning assigned thereto in the Rights Agreement. Section 27 of the Rights Agreement provides that Synacor may supplement or amend the Rights Agreement without the approval of the holders of Right Certificates; provided, however, that, from and after such time as any person becomes an Acquiring Person, the Rights Agreement shall not be amended in any manner which would adversely affect the interests of the holders of Rights.

The Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.3 and is incorporated herein by reference. The description of the Amendment contained herein does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibit.

Item 2. Exhibits.
