Michael Moritz Will Not Seek Re-Election to Google's Board of Directors

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. - March 22, 2007 - Google Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG)
today announced that Michael Moritz has informed the company that he
will not seek re-election to its board of directors at the 2007
stockholder meeting. Moritz, who has been a director since May 1999,
said his decision will allow him to focus more time on his
responsibilities as a general partner of Sequoia Capital.

"Mike's many contributions to Google over the years as investor and
director helped us immensely," said Eric Schmidt, Google's chief
executive officer. "His insights, drive, and determination are part
of Google today and will be so forever."

"Larry and I both have valued Mike's counsel and wisdom from Google's
earliest days," added Sergey Brin, Google's co-founder and president
of technology. "We respect his decision to focus more of his energies
on Sequoia, but will miss him. Sequoia provided crucial advice,
funding and leadership to Google and we look forward to working with
the entire set of distinguished partners at Sequoia in the future."

"Larry and Sergey's originality and the remarkable accomplishments of
Eric and the Google management have generated substantial returns for
Sequoia Capital's limited partners - almost all of which are
charities," said Moritz. "I'm delighted to have played a role in
these achievements and, along with my partners at Sequoia, look
forward to identifying and supporting new businesses, in partnership
with Google and others."

Google will hold its annual election of directors at its stockholder
meeting on May 10, 2007.
