Vote Your Proxy

Beneficial Stockholders: You are a beneficial stockholder if you own Google stock through a bank or a brokerage firm. If you are a beneficial stockholder, you may vote your proxy online through Broadridge Financial Solutions.

Registered Stockholders: You are a registered stockholder if you own Google stock directly in your name through Computershare Trust Company, N.A. If you are a registered stockholder, you may vote your proxy online through Computershare.

Submit Questions for the Annual Meeting

This year we are using Google Moderator to make it very easy for stockholders to participate in the question-and-answer portion of the Annual Meeting. This year you will be able to use Google Moderator to help us pick the questions most relevant to our Annual Meeting. You may vote for the questions you care about and submit your own.

During the question and answer period at the Annual Meeting, we will alternate between answering the questions asked by attendees at the Annual Meeting and the questions in the lead on Google Moderator at the time of the meeting (we will arrange for stockholders who are at the meeting in person to read these questions). We will answer as many questions as time permits. If you are a stockholder, you may submit your questions and vote on our 2009 Annual Meeting questions page.

Note: All questions and votes must be submitted before May 6, 2009 5:00 pm Pacific Time.

Meeting begins at 2:00 PM PT

If You Plan to Attend the Annual Meeting:

  • It is important that you let us know in advance by marking the appropriate box on your proxy card if you requested to receive printed proxy materials, or, if you vote by telephone or Internet, indicating your plans when prompted.
  • Please note that space limitations make it necessary for us to limit attendance to our stockholders-Google stockholders as of the close of business on March 10, 2009 are entitled to attend our Annual Meeting.
  • Admission will be on a first-come, first-served basis. Please note that check-in and registration begins at 12:30 pm. Google will be serving lunch to attendees.
  • Each stockholder should be prepared to present:
    1. Valid photo identification, such as a driver's license or passport; and
    2. Stockholders holding their shares through a broker, bank, trustee or nominee will need to bring proof of beneficial ownership as of the Record Date, such as their most recent account statement reflecting their stock ownership prior to March 10, 2009 or a copy of the voting instruction card provided by their broker, bank, trustee or nominee or similar evidence of ownership.
  • Cameras, recording devices and other electronic devices will not be permitted at the meeting.
  • Please allow ample time for check-in. For security reasons, you and your bags will be subject to search prior to your admittance to the meeting.
  • You must be registered to be admitted to the meeting. Registration will take place at the Shoreline Amphitheatre.
  • If you are a beneficial owner, like a vast majority of our stockholders, you may not vote your shares in person at the Annual Meeting unless you obtain a "legal proxy" from the broker, bank, trustee or nominee that holds your shares giving you the right to vote the shares at the meeting. Even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we recommend that you also submit your proxy or voting instructions as described in the proxy statement so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the meeting.

Directions to Shoreline Amphitheatre from either San Jose or San Francisco:

  1. Follow Route 101 to the Rengstorff/Amphitheatre Parkway exit.
  2. Follow the signs to the Amphitheatre (cross back over 101 if you are coming from the north/just stay right if you are coming from the south).
  3. Go through the signal at Charleston Road and continue on Amphitheatre Parkway. You will pass Google on your right.
  4. Turn left at Bill Graham Parkway and follow the signs to Lot C.

A shuttle bus will be available to take you to our headquarters for the Annual Meeting.
