EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Registration Statement on Form S-8 is being filed for the purpose of registering an additional 15,655,064 shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”) of Vivint Smart Home, Inc. (the “Company” or the “Registrant”) reserved for issuance under the Vivint Smart Home, Inc. 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2020 Omnibus Plan”). These additional shares of Common Stock are additional securities of the same class as other securities for which an original registration statement on Form S-8 with respect to the 2020 Omnibus Plan was filed by the Registrant with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on March 24, 2020 (File No. 333-237365) and an additional registration statement on Form S-8 with respect to the 2020 Omnibus Plan was filed by the Registrant with the Commission on March 1, 2021 (File No. 333-253740), and the Post-Effective Amendments on Form S-8 to the Registrant’s Registration Statement on Form S-4 with respect to the 2020 Omnibus Plan, were filed by the Registrant with the Commission on March 24, 2020 and April 20, 2020 (File No. 333-233911). These additional shares of Common Stock have become reserved for issuance as a result of the operation of the “evergreen” provision of the 2020 Omnibus Plan, which provides that the total number of shares subject to the 2020 Omnibus Plan will be increased on the first day of each fiscal year pursuant to a specified formula.

Pursuant to General Instruction E to Form S-8, the contents of such earlier registration statements, as amended by the post-effective amendments, where applicable, are incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement, except that the provisions contained in Part II of such earlier registration statements are modified as set forth in this Registration Statement.
