(Title of class)
EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Form 8-A registers as a class all options to purchase Googles Class A common stock (the Options) issued or issuable under its stock plans because (i) there are more than 500 holders of the Options outstanding as of the date hereof and (ii) in April 2007, Google established its Transferable Stock Option program, which permits certain employee stock options to be sold to participating financial institutions. The recently adopted Rule 12h-1(g) exemption from registration under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 does not apply to the Options as the financial institutions are not eligible persons under Rule 701(c) of the Securities Act of 1933.
