("Google"), its wholly-owned subsidiary, for new notes to be issued by Alphabet as described in the table below. A Registration Statement on Form S-4/A (the "Registration Statement") relating to the issuance of the Alphabet Notes (as defined below) was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 29, 2016 but has not yet been declared effective.

_____________

(1)

Consideration per $1,000 principal amount of Google Notes validly tendered and accepted for exchange, subject to any rounding as described in the Prospectus (as defined herein).

(2)

The term "Alphabet Notes" in this press release refers, in each case, to the series of Alphabet Notes corresponding to the series of Google Notes of like tenor and coupon.

(3)

Includes the Early Participation Premium payable for Google Notes validly tendered prior to the Early Consent Date described below and not validly withdrawn.

In connection with the exchange offers, Google is also soliciting consents from holders of the Google Notes to amend (the "Proposed Amendments") the indenture governing the Google Notes (the "Google Indenture") and the Google Notes to eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants in the Google Indenture, including the merger covenant and the reporting covenant, and make certain conforming changes to the Google Indenture to reflect the Proposed Amendments. If the Proposed Amendments are adopted, the Google Notes will be governed by the Google Indenture, as amended by the Proposed Amendments, which will have less restrictive terms and afford reduced protections to the holders of those securities compared to those terms and protections currently in the Google Indenture or applicable to the Alphabet Notes. In order for the Proposed Amendments to the Google Indenture to be adopted with respect to a series of Google Notes, holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Google Notes of such series must consent to them, and those consents must be received and not withdrawn prior to the Expiration Date for the exchange offer relating to such series.

The exchange offers and consent solicitations for each series of the Google Notes (together, the "Exchange Offers") will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on April 25, 2016, unless extended (the "Expiration Date").

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Offers set forth in the Prospectus and Letter of Transmittal (as defined below), in exchange for each $1,000 principal amount of Google Notes that is validly tendered prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on April 11, 2016, unless extended (the "Early Consent Date") and not validly withdrawn, holders will be eligible to receive the total exchange consideration set out in the table above (the "Total Consideration"), which consists of $1,000 principal amount of Alphabet Notes of the applicable series and a cash amount of $2.50. The Total Consideration includes the early participation premium set out in the table above (the "Early Participation Premium"), which consists of $30 principal amount of Alphabet Notes of the applicable series. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Offers set forth in the Prospectus and Letter of Transmittal, in exchange for each $1,000 principal amount of Google Notes that is validly tendered after the Early Consent Date but prior to the Expiration Date, and not validly withdrawn, holders will be eligible to receive only the exchange consideration set out in the table above (the "Exchange Consideration"), which is equal to the Total Consideration less the Early Participation Premium and so consists of $970 principal amount of Alphabet Notes of the applicable series and a cash amount of $2.50.

Each Alphabet Note will accrue interest at the same annual interest rate, have the same interest payment dates, same redemption terms and same maturity date as the Google Note for which it is exchanged. The Alphabet Notes will be unsecured general obligations of Alphabet and will rank equally with all other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of Alphabet from time to time outstanding. The Alphabet Notes offered will also be structurally subordinated to all existing and future liabilities of any of our subsidiaries and any subsidiaries that we may in the future acquire or establish.
