 provisions described under “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” below. |

170

| (3) | These RSUs vest based on the satisfaction of both service-based and liquidity-based vesting conditions and will expire if not vested prior to the seventh anniversary of the grant date. The service-based vesting period for these RSU awards is scheduled over four years, with 1/4 of the shares subject to these RSU awards vesting upon the first anniversary of the vesting commencement date and the remaining portion vesting in 36 successive equal monthly installments thereafter, in each case, subject to the NEO’s continued service relationship with Circle through each applicable vesting date. The liquidity-based vesting condition was deemed satisfied in connection with our initial public offering. The awards are also subject to certain acceleration of vesting provisions as described under “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” below. |
