1. Pursuant to Rule 416(a) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), this Registration Statement shall also cover any additional shares of Class A common stock of C3.ai, Inc. (the "Registrant") that become issuable under the Registrant's 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2020 Plan") by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, or other similar transaction effected that results in an increase to the number of outstanding shares of Registrant's Class A common stock, as applicable.

The proposed maximum offering price per unit is estimated in accordance with Rules 457(c) and (h) of the Securities Act solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee on the basis of the average of the high and low prices of the Registrant's Class A common stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") on June 22, 2026.
