 individual and collective accomplishments and contributions toward these goals. In this assessment, the Compensation Committee decided to align the annualized amounts of the 2024 bonus payouts for all five individuals in recognition of the central and complementary role that each participant has played, both as individuals and as a group, in advancing our initiatives. This resulted in a non-equity incentive plan value of $2.0 million each for Ruth, Prabhakar, Philipp, and Kent. The resulting non-equity incentive plan value is $850,000 for Anat, which is prorated at the maximum opportunity based on her start date of July 31, 2024. On February 28, 2025, the Compensation Committee discontinued the SVP Bonus program. Beginning in 2025, Anat, Ruth, Prabhakar, Philipp, and Kent will no longer be eligible for an annual bonus. For Anat, Ruth, Philipp, and Kent, the Compensation Committee shifted the $2.0 million individual target value of the annual SVP Bonus opportunity to the target value of their annual performance stock unit (PSU) awards. For more information on this shift in value please see the section titled 2025 Equity Awards in Section 4 - Compensation Details. Equity Awards We grant equity awards to our named executive officers to reinforce management’s focus on long-term stockholder value and commitment to the company. The Compensation Committee regularly evaluates the structure of these equity awards to ensure the right balance of time- and performance-based equity that supports the objectives of our compensation philosophy, aligns with our business priorities, and considers the perspectives of our stockholders. The Compensation Committee utilizes a combination of GSUs and PSUs to reward our named executive officers. To determine individual grant values and the proportion of GSUs and PSUs, the Compensation Committee considers the following elements:

| • | Market compensation values and practices for performance-based equity awards, including peers and S&P 100 companies. |
| • | Alphabet’s overall business performance, and the scope of role, impact, and performance of each recipient.           |
| • | Each recipient’s outstanding and unvested equity awards, and the vesting schedules of those awards.                  |
| • | The resulting compensation at target and maximum performance values for each recipient.                              |
