EXPLANATORY NOTE

On August 11, 2005, Google Inc. (the “Registrant”) filed a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-127451) (the “Registration Statement”), which registered shares of the Registrant’s Class A common stock, par value $0.001, reserved for issuance under the 2004 Stock Plan. The Registration Statement registered 7,000,000 shares of Class A common stock with respect to the 2004 Stock Plan.

In connection with the Registrant’s Transferable Stock Option (“TSO”) program, all of the 7,000,000 shares of Class A common stock that were originally registered under the Registration Statement will be offered and sold pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the “TSO S-3”). Therefore, the Registrant is filing this post-effective amendment to deregister all of the 7,000,000 shares of its Class A common stock that were registered under the Registration Statement.

The TSO S-3 registers:

 

   

the offer and sale by the Registrant of Class A common stock upon exercise, other than by participating financial institutions, of (1) options currently outstanding and (2) options to be granted under the Registrant’s 2004 Stock Plan to eligible employees, consultants, and directors the Registrant or of any parent or subsidiary of the Registrant;

 

   

the grant by the Registrant of nonstatutory stock options to eligible employees, consultants, and directors of the Registrant or of any parent or subsidiary of the Registrant under the Registrant’s 2004 Stock Plan;

 

   

the offer and sale by the Registrant of Class A common stock in connection with the grant or exercise of incentive stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance units, performance shares and other stock-based awards to eligible employees, consultants, and directors of the Registrant or of any parent or subsidiary of the Registrant under the Registrant’s 2004 Stock Plan; and

 

   

the offer and sale by participating financial institutions in connection with short sales of the Registrant’s Class A common stock to hedge options they purchase under the Registrant’s TSO program.
