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

(2) The term "Alphabet Notes" in this column 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withdrawn.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 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2016, unless extended (the "Early Consent Date") and not validly withdrawn, holders will be eligible to receive the total exchange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 and a
cash amount of $2.50. The Total Consideration includes the early participation premium set out in the table above (the "Early

principal amount of Google Notes that is validly tendered after the Early Consent Date but prior to the Expiration Date (as defined
below) and not validly withdrawn, holders will be eligible to receive only the exchange consideration set out in the table above (the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 and a cash amount of $2.50. Each Alphabet Note issued in exchange for a Google Note will have an
interest rate and maturity date that are identical to the interest rate and maturity date of such tendered Google Note, as well as identical
interest payment dates and optional redemption prices. No accrued but unpaid interest will be paid on the Google Notes in connection
with the exchange offer. However, the first interest payment for each series of Alphabet Notes issued in the exchange will have accrued
from the most recent interest payment date (or the most recent date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for) for such
tendered Google Note.

The exchange offers will expire immediately following 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on April 25, 2016, unless extended (the "Expiration
Date"). You may withdraw tendered Google Notes at any time prior to the Expiration Date. As of the date of this prospectus, there was
$2,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Google Notes outstanding.

Concurrently with the exchange offers, Google is also soliciting consents (the "consent solicitations") from each holder of the Google Notes, upon the terms
and conditions set forth in this prospectus and the related letter of transmittal and consent, to certain proposed amendments (the "proposed amendments") to
the Indenture, dated as of May 19, 2011 (the "Google Indenture"), between Google and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee.
By tendering your Google Notes for exchange, you will be deemed to have validly delivered your consent to the proposed amendments to the Google
Indenture with respect to that specific series, as further described under "The Proposed Amendments." You may not consent to the proposed amendments to
the Google Indenture and the Google Notes without tendering your Google Notes in the appropriate exchange offer and you may not tender your Google
Notes for exchange without consenting to the applicable proposed amendments. You may revoke your consent at any time prior to the Expiration Date by
withdrawing the Google Notes you have tendered.
The consummation of the exchange offers is subject to, and conditional upon, the satisfaction or, where permitted, waiver of the conditions discussed
under "The Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations--Conditions to the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations," including, among other things,
the receipt of valid consents to the proposed amendments from the holders of a majority of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the applicable
series of Google Notes (the "Requisite Consents"). We may, at our option and in our sole discretion, waive any such conditions except the condition that
the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part has been declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"
or the "Commission"). All conditions to the exchange offers must be satisfied or, where permitted, waived, at or by the Expiration Date. The proposed
amendments may become effective with respect to any series of Google Notes for which the Requisite Consents are received or the Requisite Consent
condition has been waived, if necessary.
We plan to issue the Alphabet Notes promptly on or about the second business day following the Expiration Date (the "Settlement Date"), assuming that the
conditions to the exchange offers are satisfied or, where permitted, waived. The Google Notes are not, and the Alphabet Notes will not be, listed on any
securities exchange.


An investment in the Alphabet Notes involves risks. Prior to participating in any of the exchange offers and consenting to the proposed amendments,
please see the sections entitled "Risk Factors" beginning on page 20 of this prospectus and beginning on page 6 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2015 incorporated by reference herein for a discussion of the risks that you should consider in connection with your
investment in the Alphabet Notes.


Neither the SEC nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or
complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

THE COMPANY
Alphabet is a collection of businesses, the largest of which is Google. Alphabet also includes businesses that we combine as Other Bets
and generally are far afield of our main Internet products such as Verily, Calico, X, Nest, GV, Google Capital and Access/Google Fiber. Our
Alphabet structure is about helping businesses within Alphabet operate as separate Alphabet subsidiaries and prosper through strong leaders
and independence.
At Google, our innovations in search and advertising have made our website widely used and our brand one of the most recognized in
the world. We generate revenues primarily by delivering online advertising that consumers find relevant and that advertisers find cost-
effective. Google's core products such as Search, Android, Maps, Chrome, YouTube, Google Play and Gmail each have over one billion
monthly active users. Google's vision is to remain a place of incredible creativity and innovation that uses our technical expertise to tackle big
problems. Our Other Bets are also making important strides in their industries, and our goal is for them to become thriving, successful
businesses in the long term.
We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in July 2015. In October 2015, we implemented a holding company
reorganization in which we became the successor registrant to our wholly-owned subsidiary, Google. Our headquarters are located at 1600
Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, California 94043, and our telephone number is (650) 253-0000. Our Class C Capital Stock and
Class A Common Stock are listed on The NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbols "GOOG" and "GOOGL" respectively. We
maintain a number of websites, including www.abc.xyz. The information on, or accessible through, our websites is not part of this prospectus.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE EXCHANGE OFFERS AND CONSENT SOLICITATIONS

Q:
Why is Alphabet Making the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations?

A: Alphabet is conducting the exchange offers to simplify its capital structure, centralize its reporting obligations and to give existing
holders of Google Notes the option to obtain securities issued by Alphabet Inc. We are conducting the consent solicitations 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. Although the

proposed amendments would delete the company reporting covenant, Google has ceased reporting pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d)
of the Exchange Act in any case and, accordingly, stand-alone information regarding Google will no longer be publicly available.
Completion of the exchange offers and consent solicitations is expected to ease administration of the Company's consolidated
indebtedness.

Q:
What will I Receive if I Tender my Google Notes in the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations?
http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1652044/000119312516533744/d49534d424b3.htm[4/7/2016 4:03:58 PM]


Prospectus Filed Pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3)

A: Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the exchange offers described in this prospectus and the letter of transmittal and
consent, for each Google Note that is validly tendered prior to 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on April 25, 2016 (the "Expiration
Date"), and not validly withdrawn, you will be eligible to receive an Alphabet Note of the applicable series (as designated in the
table below), which will accrue interest at the same annual interest rate, have the same interest payment dates, same optional
redemption prices and same maturity date as the Google Note for which it was exchanged. Specifically, (i) 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 Consideration, which
consists of $1,000 principal amount of Alphabet Notes and a cash amount of $2.50, and includes the Early Participation Premium,
which consists of $30 principal amount of Alphabet Notes, and (ii) 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
receive only the Exchange Consideration, which consists of $970 principal amount of Alphabet Notes and a cash amount of $2.50.
The Alphabet Notes will be issued under and governed by the terms of the Alphabet Indenture (as defined below) described under
"The Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations." The Alphabet Notes will be issued only in denominations of $2,000 and integral
multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. See "Description of Alphabet Notes--Principal, Maturity and Interest." If Alphabet would be
required to issue an Alphabet Note in a denomination other than $2,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000, Alphabet will, in lieu of
such issuance:


·
issue an Alphabet Note in a principal amount that has been rounded down to the nearest lesser whole multiple of $1,000; and


·
pay a cash amount equal to:

·
the difference between (i) the principal amount of the Alphabet Notes to which the tendering holder would otherwise

be entitled and (ii) the principal amount of the Alphabet Note actually issued in accordance with this paragraph; plus


·
accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount representing such difference to the Settlement Date.
Except as otherwise set forth above: (i) instead of receiving a payment for accrued interest on Google Notes that you exchange, the
Alphabet Notes you receive in exchange for those Google Notes will accrue interest from (and including) the most recent interest
payment date on those Google Notes and (ii) no accrued but unpaid interest will be paid with respect to Google Notes tendered for
exchange.

Table of Contents
By tendering your Google Notes for exchange, you will be deemed to have validly delivered your consent to the proposed
amendments to the Google Indenture with respect to that specific series, as further described under "The Proposed Amendments."
You may not consent to the proposed amendments to the Google Indenture without tendering your Google Notes in the appropriate
exchange offer, and you may not tender your Google Notes for exchange without consenting to the applicable proposed
amendments. The proposed amendments may become effective with respect to any series of Google Notes for which the Requisite
Consents are received or the Requisite Consent condition has been waived, if necessary. You may revoke your consent at any time
prior to the Expiration Date by withdrawing the Google Notes you have tendered.

Q:
What are the Proposed Amendments?

A: The proposed amendments will 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.
With respect to each series of Google Notes, if the Requisite Consents have been received prior to the Expiration Date, assuming

Prospectus Filed Pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3)
all other conditions of the exchange offers and consent solicitations are satisfied or, where permitted, waived, as applicable, all of
the sections or provisions listed below under the Google Indenture for that series of Google Notes will be deleted:


·
Section 6.04 of the Google Indenture--Merger, Consolidation and Sale of Assets


·
Section 10.02 of the Google Indenture--Reports by the Company
Company Reporting Covenant. Although the proposed amendments would delete Section 10.02 of the Google Indenture--Reports
by the Company, Google has ceased reporting pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act in any case and, accordingly, it
will not file periodic reports or information with the SEC, the trustee or any holders of the Google Notes.
Conforming Changes, etc. The proposed amendments would amend the Google Indenture to make certain conforming or other
changes to the Google Indenture, including modification or deletion of certain definitions and cross-references.
The elimination or modification of the restrictive covenants contemplated by the proposed amendments would, among other things,
permit Google and its subsidiaries to take actions that could be adverse to the interests of the holders of the outstanding Google
Notes. See "Description of Differences Between the Alphabet Notes and the Google Notes," "The Exchange Offers and Consent
Solicitations," "The Proposed Amendments" and "Description of Alphabet Notes."

Q:
What are the Consequences of not Participating in the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations Prior to the Early Consent
Date?

A: Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the exchange offers, holders that fail to tender their Google Notes (and thereby
failed to deliver valid and unrevoked consents) prior to the Early Consent Date but who do so prior to the Expiration Date and do

not validly withdraw their Google Notes before the Expiration Date will be eligible to receive the Exchange Consideration, which
consists of $970

principal amount of Alphabet Notes and a cash amount of $2.50, but not the Early Participation Premium, which would consist of

an additional $30 principal amount of Alphabet Notes.

Q:
What are the Consequences of Not Participating in the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations at All?

A: If you do not exchange your Google Notes for Alphabet Notes in the exchange offers, you will not receive the benefit of having
Alphabet Inc. as the obligor of your notes. In addition, if the proposed amendments to the Google Indenture have been adopted with
respect to your Google Notes (because the Requisite Consents have been received prior to the Expiration Date or the Requisite
Consent condition has been met or, where permitted, waived, as applicable), the proposed amendments will apply to the Google
Notes of such series that are not acquired in the exchange offers, even though the holders of those Google Notes did not consent to
the proposed amendments. Thereafter, all such 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, which may adversely affect the
trading price of the unexchanged Google Notes. For example, the proposed amendments to the Google Indenture would, among
other things, eliminate the merger covenant that sets forth certain requirements that must be met for Google to consolidate, merge,
sell all or substantially all of its assets (including the transfer of any assets to Alphabet as part of Alphabet's holding company
structure) and eliminate the reporting covenant.
The trading market for any remaining Google Notes may also be more limited than it is at present, and the smaller outstanding
principal amount may make the trading price of the Google Notes that are not tendered and accepted more volatile. Consequently,
the liquidity, market value and price of Google Notes that remain outstanding may be materially and adversely affected. Therefore,
if your Google Notes are not tendered and accepted in the applicable exchange offer, it may become more difficult for you to sell
or transfer your unexchanged Google Notes. In addition, although the proposed amendments would delete the reporting covenant,
Google has ceased reporting pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act in any case and, accordingly, it will not file
periodic reports or information with the SEC, the trustee or any holders of the Google Notes.

Prospectus Filed Pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3)
See "Risk Factors--Risks Related to the Exchange Offers and the Consent Solicitations--The proposed amendments to the Google
Indenture will afford reduced protection to remaining holders of Google Notes."

Q:
How do the Google Notes Differ from the Alphabet Notes to be Issued in the Exchange Offers?

A: The Google Notes are the obligations solely of Google and are governed by the Google Indenture. The Alphabet Notes will be the
obligations solely of Alphabet and will be governed by the Alphabet Indenture. There are no other differences between the material

terms of the Google Indenture (before giving effect to the proposed amendments) and the Alphabet Indenture. See "Description of
Differences Between the Alphabet Notes and the Google Notes."
Additionally, each Alphabet Note issued in exchange for a Google Note will have an interest rate and maturity date that are
identical to the interest rate and maturity date of such tendered Google Note, as well as identical interest payment dates and
optional redemption prices and will accrue interest from and including the most recent interest payment date of such tendered
Google Note.

Q:
What will be the Ranking of the Alphabet Notes?

A: The Alphabet Notes will be unsecured general obligations of Alphabet and will rank equally with each other and with all other

unsubordinated indebtedness of Alphabet from time to time outstanding. The Alphabet Notes will be effectively subordinated to
any secured indebtedness of Alphabet to the extent

of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. At December 31, 2015, Alphabet Inc. on a standalone basis had no secured
indebtedness outstanding. We intend to align our capital structure so that debt is held at the holding company level. In January
2016, Alphabet's board of directors authorized the company to issue up to $5.0 billion of commercial paper from time to time and

to enter into a $4.0 billion credit facility to replace Google's existing credit facility. For more information, please see
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Capital Resources and Liquidity" in
our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.
The Alphabet Notes offered will also be structurally subordinated to all existing and future liabilities of any of our subsidiaries
(including any Google Notes not exchanged for Alphabet Notes and any other indebtedness or obligations of Google) and any
subsidiaries that we may in the future acquire or establish. As of December 31, 2015, Google had unused letters of credit of
approximately $752 million and no outstanding balance under its credit facility, approximately $3.0 billion in long-term debt
(including the Google Notes and Google's 2.125% Notes due 2016, which mature on May 19, 2016) and $2.2 billion of
commercial paper and capital lease borrowing debts (including $2.0 billion of Google commercial paper that matured at various
dates through February 2016). As of December 31, 2015, the Alphabet Notes would have been structurally subordinated to such
existing third-party debt. See "Risk Factors--Risks Related to the Alphabet Notes--Holders of the Alphabet Notes will be
structurally subordinated to our subsidiaries' third-party indebtedness and obligations" and "Description of Alphabet Notes--
Ranking" in this prospectus and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--
Capital Resources and Liquidity" and Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8 of
Alphabet Inc.'s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, which is incorporated by reference into this
prospectus.

Q:
How do I Exchange my Google Notes if I am a Beneficial Owner of Google Notes Held in Certificated form by a Custodian Bank,
Depositary, Broker, Trust Company or Other Nominee? Will the Record Holder Exchange my Google Notes for me?

A: Currently, all of the Google Notes are held in book-entry form and can only be tendered through the applicable procedures of The
Depository Trust Company ("DTC"). If your Google Notes are held by a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other
nominee, such nominee may take no action with regard to the exchange offers and consent solicitations unless you provide such
nominee with instructions to tender your Google Notes on your behalf. See "The Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations--

Procedures for Consenting and Tendering--Google Notes Held Through a Nominee." However, if any Google Notes are
subsequently issued in certificated form and are held of record by a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other
nominee and you wish to tender the securities in the exchange offers, you should contact that institution promptly and instruct the
institution to tender on your behalf.
Beneficial owners should be aware that their broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee may establish its
own earlier deadlines for participation in the exchange offers and consent solicitations. Accordingly, beneficial owners wishing to
participate in the exchange offers and consent solicitations should contact their broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or
other nominee as soon as possible in order to determine the times by which such owner must take action in order to participate in
the exchange offers and consent solicitations.
