CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED BY CIRCLE INTERNET GROUP, INC. PURSUANT TO 17 C.F.R. § 200.83 Shares eligible for future sale Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our common stock. Future sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market could adversely affect market prices prevailing from time to time. Furthermore, because only a limited number of shares of common stock will be available for sale shortly after this offering due to existing contractual and legal restrictions on resale as described below, there may be sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market after the restrictions lapse. This may adversely affect the prevailing market price and our ability to raise equity capital in the future. Upon completion of this offering, we will have shares of common stock outstanding (or shares of common stock if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares in full). All shares sold in this offering will be freely transferable without restriction or registration under the Securities Act, except for any shares purchased by one of our “affiliates,” as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. The remaining outstanding shares will be “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144. Restricted securities may be sold in the public market only if registered or if they qualify for an exemption from registration under Rule 144 or 701 of the Securities Act. After the expiration of the contractual lock-upperiod described below, to the extent applicable, these shares may be sold in the public market only if registered or pursuant to an exemption under Rule 144 or 701, each of which is summarized below. Rule 144 In general, a person who has beneficially owned shares of common stock that are restricted securities for at least six months would be entitled to sell such shares, providedthat (i) such person is not deemed to have been one of our affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the 90 days preceding, the sale and (ii) we are subject to, and in compliance with certain of, the Exchange Act periodic reporting requirements for at least 90 days before the sale, but this clause (ii) will not apply
