In the event that any nominee becomes unavailable or unwilling to serve as a member of our Board, the proxy holders will vote in their discretion for a substitute nominee. The term of office of each person elected as a director will continue until the next annual meeting or until a successor has been elected and qualified, or until the director’s earlier death, resignation, or removal. The sections titled “Directors and Executive Officers” and “Director Selection Process and Qualifications” on pages 16 and 30of this proxy statement contain more information about the leadership skills and other experiences that caused the Governance Committee and our Board to determine that these nominees should serve as directors of Alphabet.

Unless marked to the contrary, proxies received will be voted FOR these nominees. Our Board expects a director to tender his or her resignation if he or she fails
