 to govern
the grant of awards with respect to shares of Class A common stock on and after the Redomiciliation.

The terms of the 2024 Plan are substantially the same as those
described above under the 2013 Scheme, except that references to Scheme Shares were replaced with references to shares of Class A common stock of Circle Internet Group, Inc. (“Plan Shares”). In addition, the 2024 Plan is governed by
Delaware, not Irish, law and therefore removes certain provisions which were applicable only under Irish law, including those relating to a compulsory acquisition or reconstruction of the Company under Irish law.

As of the effectiveness of the Circle Internet Group, Inc. 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan (described under “—2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan” below), no further
equity awards will be granted under the 2024 Plan. Awards that are outstanding under the 2024 Plan as of the effectiveness of the Omnibus Incentive Plan will remain outstanding under, and subject to the terms and conditions of, the 2024 Plan.

The maximum number of Plan Shares which may be the subject of awards under the 2024 Plan may not exceed (i) 73,313,680 less (ii) the number of Scheme Shares which were
subject to awards outstanding under the 2013 Scheme as of immediately prior to the adoption of the 2024 Plan (which, as of such time, was 42,333,762). The board of directors may delegate some or all of its authority under the 2024 Plan, including
the authority to grant awards (except that such authority will not apply to any award held by a person covered by Section 16 of the Exchange Act) as permitted under applicable law, including Section 157(c) of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

As of March 31, 2025, options to purchase 21,648,694 shares of Class A common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $8.79 per share plus 25,329,947
RSUs were outstanding under the 2024 Plan and 4,355,629 shares remained available for future issuance under the 2024 Plan.
