(ii) each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, represents and agrees that, without the prior consent of the Company and the Representatives, other than one or more term sheets relating to the Securities containing customary information and conveyed to purchasers of securities or any Permitted General Solicitation Material, it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Securities that, if the offering of the Securities contemplated by this Agreement were conducted as a public offering pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Act with the Commission, would constitute a “free writing prospectus”, as defined in Rule 405 under the Act (any such offer (other than any such term sheets and any Permitted General Solicitation Material), is hereinafter referred to as a “Purchaser Supplemental Disclosure Document”); and

(iii) any Company Supplemental Disclosure Document, Purchaser Supplemental Disclosure Document or Permitted General Solicitation Material, the use of which has been consented to by the Company and the Representatives, is listed as applicable on Schedule II(b), Schedule II(c) or Schedule II(d) hereto, respectively.

7. The Company covenants and agrees with the several Purchasers that the Company will pay or cause to be paid the following: (i) the fees, disbursements and expenses of the Company’s counsel and accountants in connection with the issue of the Securities and the Underlying Securities and all other expenses in connection with the preparation, printing, reproduction and filing of the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Offering Memorandum and any amendments and supplements thereto and the mailing and delivering of copies thereof to the Purchasers and dealers; (ii) the cost of printing or producing any Agreement among Purchasers, this Agreement, the Indenture, the Securities, closing documents (including any compilations thereof), Permitted General Solicitation Materials and any other documents in connection with the offering, purchase, sale and delivery of the Securities; (iii) all expenses in connection with the qualification of the Securities and the Underlying Securities for offering and sale under state securities laws as provided in Section 5(b) hereof, including the reasonably documented fees and disbursements of one counsel in each jurisdiction for the Purchasers in connection with such qualification and in connection with the Blue Sky and legal investment surveys (such fees not to exceed $10,000); (iv) any fees charged by securities rating services for rating the Securities; (v) the cost of preparing the Securities; (vi) the fees and expenses of the Trustee and any agent of the Trustee and the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Trustee in connection with the Indenture and the Securities; (vii) any cost incurred in connection with the listing of the Underlying Securities; (viii) any other costs and expenses related to the transfer and delivery of the Securities to the Purchasers, including any transfer taxes or other taxes payable thereon; and (ix) all other costs and expenses incident to the performance of its obligations hereunder which are not otherwise specifically provided for in this Section.

8. The obligations of the Purchasers hereunder shall be subject, in their discretion, to the condition that all representations and warranties and other statements of the Company herein are, at and as of each Time of Delivery, true and correct, the condition that the Company shall have performed all of its obligations hereunder theretofore to be performed, and the following additional conditions:

(e) On or after the Applicable Time there shall not have occurred any of the following: (i) a suspension or material limitation in trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange; (ii) a suspension or material limitation in trading in the Company’s securities on the New York Stock Exchange; (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities declared by either Federal, New York State or California State authorities or a material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States; (iv) the outbreak or escalation of hostilities involving the United States or the declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war or (v) the occurrence of any other calamity or crisis or any change in financial, political or economic conditions in the United States or elsewhere, if the effect of any such event specified in clause (iv) or (v) in the Representatives’ judgment makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or the delivery of the Securities being delivered at such Time of Delivery on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Offering Memorandum;

The officer(s) signing and furnishing such certificate(s) may rely on his or her knowledge as to proceedings threatened.

9. (a) The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Purchaser may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Memorandum, the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Offering Memorandum, or any amendment or supplement thereto, any Company Supplemental Disclosure Document, any Permitted General Solicitation Material or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse each Purchaser for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Purchaser in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Memorandum, the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Offering Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto, any Company Supplemental Disclosure Document or any Permitted General Solicitation Material, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Purchaser through the Representatives expressly for use therein.

(b) Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Memorandum, the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Offering Memorandum, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Company Supplemental Disclosure Document, any Permitted General Solicitation Material or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in any Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Memorandum, the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Offering

Memorandum or any such amendment or supplement, any Company Supplemental Disclosure Document or any Permitted General Solicitation Material, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Purchaser through the Representatives expressly for use therein; and each Purchaser will reimburse the Company for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under such subsection unless and to the extent it has been materially prejudiced through the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Purchasers on the other from the offering of the Securities. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law or if the indemnified party failed to give the notice required under subsection (c) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Purchasers on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one

hand and the Purchasers on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total discounts and commissions received by the Purchasers, in each case as set forth in the Offering Memorandum. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or the Purchasers on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Purchasers were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), no Purchaser shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities purchased by it pursuant to this Agreement and distributed to investors were offered to investors exceeds the amount of any damages which such Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. The Purchasers’ obligations in this subsection (d) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations and not joint.

(e) The obligations of the Company under this Section 9 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and director of each Purchaser and each person, if any, who controls any Purchaser within the meaning of the Act and each broker-dealer affiliate of each Purchaser; and the obligations of the Purchasers under this Section 9 shall be in addition to any liability which the respective Purchasers may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and director of the Company and to each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act.

10. (a) If any Purchaser shall default in its obligation to purchase the Securities which it has agreed to purchase hereunder, the Representatives may in their discretion arrange for another party or other parties to purchase such Securities on the terms contained herein at the applicable Time of Delivery. If within thirty-six hours after such default by any Purchaser the Representatives do not arrange for the purchase of such Securities, then the Company shall be entitled to a further period of thirty-six hours within which to procure another party or other parties reasonably satisfactory to the Representatives to purchase such Securities on such terms. In the event that, within the respective prescribed periods, the Representatives notify the Company that they have so arranged for the purchase of such Securities, or the Company notifies the Representatives that it has so arranged for the purchase of such Securities, the Representatives or the Company shall have the right to postpone such Time of Delivery for a period of not more than five days (provided, that any Subsequent Time of Delivery must occur during the Option Period (after giving effect to any such postponement)) in order to effect whatever changes may thereby be made necessary in the Offering Memorandum, or in any other documents or arrangements, and the Company agrees to prepare promptly any amendments or supplements to the Offering Memorandum which in the opinion of the Representatives may thereby be made necessary. The term “Purchaser” as used in this Agreement shall include any person substituted under this Section with like effect as if such person had originally been a party to this Agreement with respect to such Securities.

(b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting Purchaser or Purchasers by the Representatives and the Company as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of such Securities which remains unpurchased does not exceed one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Securities to be purchased at such Time of Delivery, then the Company shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Purchaser to purchase the principal amount of Securities which such Purchaser agreed to purchase hereunder at such Time of Delivery and, in addition, to require each non-defaulting Purchaser to purchase its pro rata share (based on the principal amount of Securities which such Purchaser agreed to purchase hereunder) of the Securities of such defaulting Purchaser or Purchasers for which such arrangements have not been made; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Purchaser from liability for its default.

(c) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting Purchaser or Purchasers by the Representatives and the Company as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate principal amount of Securities which remains unpurchased exceeds one-eleventh of the aggregate principal amount of all the Securities to be purchased at such Time of Delivery, or if the Company shall not exercise the right described in subsection (b) above to require non-defaulting Purchasers to purchase Securities of a defaulting Purchaser or Purchasers, then this Agreement (or, with respect to a Subsequent Time of Delivery, the obligation of the Purchasers to purchase and of the Company to sell the Optional Securities) shall thereupon terminate, without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Purchaser or the Company, except for the expenses to be borne by the Company and the Purchasers as provided in Section 7 hereof and the indemnity and contribution agreements in Section 9 hereof; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Purchaser from liability for its default.

11. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company and the several Purchasers, as set forth in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation (or any statement as to the results thereof) made by or on behalf of any Purchaser or any controlling person of any Purchaser, or the Company, or any officer or director or controlling person of the Company, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Securities.

12. If this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Section 10 hereof, the Company shall not then be under any liability to any Purchaser except as provided in Sections 7 and 9 hereof; but, if for any other reason (other than those set forth in clauses (i), (iii), (iv) or (v) of Section 8(e)), the Securities are not delivered by or on behalf of the Company as provided herein, the Company will reimburse the Purchasers through the Representatives for all documented out-of-pocket expenses approved in writing by the Representatives, including fees and disbursements of counsel, reasonably incurred by the Purchasers in making preparations for the purchase, sale and delivery of the Securities, but the Company shall then be under no further liability to any Purchaser except as provided in Sections 7 and 9 hereof.

13. In all dealings hereunder, the Representatives shall act on behalf of each of the Purchasers, and the parties hereto shall be entitled to act and rely upon any statement, request, notice or agreement on behalf of any Purchaser made or given by the Representatives.

All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in writing, and if to the Purchasers shall be delivered or sent by mail or facsimile transmission to the Representatives at Xxxxxxx Xxxxx & Co. LLC, 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000-0000, Attention: Registration Department; X.X. Xxxxxx Securities LLC, 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000 (fax: (000) 000-0000), Attention: Equity Syndicate Desk; and Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co. LLC, 0000 Xxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, Attention: Convertible Debt Syndicate Desk, with a copy to the Legal Department and if to the Company shall be delivered or sent by mail or facsimile transmission to the address of the Company set forth in the Offering Memorandum, Attention: General Counsel; and if to any stockholder that has delivered a lock-up letter described in Section 8(g) hereof shall be delivered or sent by mail to his, her or its respective address provided in Section III hereto or such other address as such stockholder provides in writing to the Company; provided, however, that any notice to a Purchaser pursuant to Section 9 hereof shall be delivered or sent by mail or facsimile transmission to such Purchaser at its address set forth in its Purchasers’ Questionnaire, which address will be supplied to the Company by the Representatives upon request. Any such statements, requests, notices or agreements shall take effect upon receipt thereof.

In accordance with the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), the Purchasers are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies their respective clients, including the Company, which information may include the name and address of their respective clients, as well as other information that will allow the Purchasers to properly identify their respective clients.

14. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure solely to the benefit of, the Purchasers, the Company and, to the extent provided in Sections 9 and 11 hereof, the officers and directors of the Company and each person who controls the Company or any Purchaser, and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, and no other person shall acquire or have any right under or by virtue of this Agreement. No purchaser of any of the Securities from any Purchaser shall be deemed a successor or assign by reason merely of such purchase.

15. Time shall be of the essence of this Agreement.

16. The Company acknowledges and agrees that (i) the purchase and sale of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company, on the one hand, and the several Purchasers, on the other, (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading to such transaction each Purchaser is acting solely as a principal and not the agent or fiduciary of the Company, (iii) no Purchaser has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company with respect to the offering contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Purchaser has advised or is currently advising the Company on other matters) or any other obligation to the Company except the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement and (iv) the Company has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate. The Company agrees that it will not claim that the Purchasers, or any of them, has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to the Company, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto. None of the activities of any of the Purchasers in connection with the transactions contemplated herein shall constitute a recommendation, investment advice, or solicitation of any action by any of the Purchasers with respect to any entity or natural person.

17. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) between the Company and the Purchasers, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

18. THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY MATTERS RELATED TO THIS TRANSACTION SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF ANY LAW OTHER THAN THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. The Company agrees that any suit or proceeding arising in respect of this agreement or our engagement will be tried exclusively in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York or, if that court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, in any state court located in the City and County of New York and the Company agrees to submit to the jurisdiction of, and to venue in, such courts.

20. This Agreement may be executed by any one or more of the parties hereto in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such respective counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument. Counterparts may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail (including any electronic signature covered by the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, the Electronic Signatures and Records Act or other applicable law, e.g., xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx) or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.

However, any information relating to the tax treatment and tax structure shall remain confidential (and the foregoing sentence shall not apply) to the extent necessary to enable any person to comply with securities laws. For this purpose, “tax treatment” means U.S. federal and state income tax treatment, and “tax structure” is limited to any facts that may be relevant to that treatment.

22. Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes.

(a) In the event that any Purchaser that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Purchaser of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

(b) In the event that any Purchaser that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Purchaser becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Purchaser are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

“BHC Act Affiliate” has the meaning assigned to the term “affiliate” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. § 1841(k).

“Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.

“U.S. Special Resolution Regime” means each of (i) the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder and (ii) Title II of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

The information in this pricing term sheet supplements Twitter, Inc.’s preliminary offering memorandum, dated March 1, 2021 (the “Preliminary Offering Memorandum”), and supersedes the information in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum to the extent inconsistent with the information in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum. In all other respects, this term sheet is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, including all other documents incorporated by reference therein. References to “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Twitter, Inc. and not to its consolidated subsidiaries. Terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings as set forth in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum. All references to dollar amounts are references to U.S. dollars.


Issuer:		Twitter, Inc.

Ticker/Exchange for Common Stock:		“TWTR”/The New York Stock Exchange.

Securities:		0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “notes”).

Principal Amount:		$1,250,000,000.

Denominations:		$1,000 and multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

Ranking:		Senior unsecured.

Maturity:		March 15, 2026, unless earlier repurchased or converted.

No Redemption at Our Option:		We may not redeem the notes at our option prior to the relevant maturity date, and no “sinking fund” is provided for the notes.

No Regular Interest; Special Interest:		The notes will not accrue interest, and the principal amount of the notes will not accrete. We will pay special interest, if any, at our election as the sole remedy relating to the failure to comply with our reporting obligations as described under “Description of Notes—Events of Default” and under the circumstances described in “Description of Notes—No Registration Rights; Additional Interest” in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum. In no event shall special interest accrue at a rate in excess of 0.50% per annum pursuant to the indenture governing the notes, regardless of the number of events or circumstances giving rise to the requirement to pay such special interest.



Fundamental Change:		If a “fundamental change” (as defined in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum under the caption “Description of Notes—Fundamental Change Permits Holders to Require Us to Repurchase Notes”) occurs at any time prior to the relevant maturity date, subject to certain conditions, holders will have the right, at their option, to require us to repurchase for cash all of their notes, or any portion of the principal amounts thereof that is equal to $1,000 or a multiple of $1,000. The fundamental change repurchase price we are required to pay will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid special interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.

Listing:		None.

Convertible Note Hedge and Warrant Transactions:		In connection with the pricing of the notes, we entered into convertible note hedge transactions with certain of the initial purchasers or their affiliates or other financial institutions, whom we refer to as the option counterparties. The convertible note hedge transactions are expected to reduce the potential dilution to our common stock upon conversion of the notes and/or offset any cash payments we are required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted notes, as the case may be. We also entered into warrant transactions with the option counterparties. However, the warrant transactions could separately have a dilutive effect to the extent that the market value per share of our common stock exceeds the applicable strike price of the warrants. If the initial


		purchasers exercise their over-allotment option to purchase additional notes, we may enter into additional convertible note hedge transactions and additional warrant transactions. See “Description of Convertible Note Hedge and Warrant Transactions” in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum.

Net Proceeds:		We estimate that the net proceeds from this offering will be approximately $1,235.4 million ($1,420.7 million if the initial purchasers exercise their over-allotment option to purchase additional notes in full), after deducting the initial purchasers’ discount and estimated offering expenses.

Use of Proceeds:		We entered into convertible note hedge transactions with the option counterparties as described above. We also entered into warrant transactions with the option counterparties. We intend to use $45.5 million of the net proceeds from this offering to pay the cost of the convertible note hedge transactions (after such cost is partially offset by the sale of warrants pursuant to the warrant transactions). We expect to use the remaining net proceeds to pay any amounts due upon conversion or at maturity of the 2021 Notes, for potential repurchases of shares of our common stock under our share repurchase program and for general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures, working capital and potential acquisitions. If the initial purchasers exercise their over-allotment option to purchase additional notes, we may sell additional warrants and use a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of such additional notes, together with the proceeds from the sale of the additional warrants, to enter into additional convertible note hedge transactions relating to the notes. We expect to use the remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes. See “Use of Proceeds” in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum.

Description of Notes—Conversion Rights—Increase in Conversion Rate upon Conversion upon a Make-Whole Fundamental Change

Holders who convert their notes in connection with a make-whole fundamental change occurring prior to the maturity date of the notes may be entitled to an increase in the conversion rate for the notes so surrendered for conversion.

The following table sets forth the number of additional shares by which the conversion rate for the notes will be increased per $1,000 principal amount of notes for each stock price and effective date set forth below:


	Stock Price
Effective Date	$77.63		$100.00		$130.03		$200.00		$250.00		$300.00		$350.00		$400.00		$450.00		$500.00		$600.00		$700.00

March 15, 2026		5.1911		2.3095		0.0000		0.0000		0.0000		0.0000		0.0000		0.0000		0.0000		0.0000		0.0000		0.0000

The exact stock prices and effective dates may not be set forth in the table above, in which case:

•

If the stock price is between two stock prices in the table or the effective date is between two effective dates in the table, the number of additional shares by which the conversion rate for the notes will be increased will be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of additional shares set forth for the higher and lower stock prices and the earlier and later effective dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year.

•

If the stock price is greater than $700.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the stock prices set forth in the column headings of the table above), no additional shares will be added to the conversion rate.

•

If the stock price is less than $77.63 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the stock prices set forth in the column headings of the table above), no additional shares will be added to the conversion rate.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the conversion rate per $1,000 principal amount of notes exceed 12.8816 shares of common stock, subject to adjustment in the same manner as the conversion rate as set forth in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum under the caption “Description of Notes—Conversion Rights —Conversion Rate Adjustments.”

Our obligation to increase the conversion rate for notes converted in connection with a make-whole fundamental change could be considered a penalty, in which case the enforceability thereof would be subject to general principles of reasonableness and equitable remedies.

Re:

Twitter, Inc. – Lock-Up Agreement

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned understands that you propose to enter into a Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) on behalf of the several purchasers named in Schedule I to such agreement (collectively, the “Purchasers”), with Twitter, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), providing for the placement of the Company’s Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Securities”) in a transaction not requiring registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Securities will be convertible into cash, shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.000005 per share (the “Common Stock”), or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock at the Company’s election.

In consideration of the agreement by the Purchasers to offer and sell the Securities, and of other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the undersigned agrees that, during the period beginning from the date hereof and continuing to and including the date 60 days after the date of the Purchase Agreement (the “Lock-Up Period”), the undersigned will not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase, make any short

sale or otherwise dispose of any shares of Common Stock, or any options or warrants to purchase any shares of Common Stock, or any securities convertible into, exchangeable for or that represent the right to receive shares of Common Stock, whether now owned or hereinafter acquired, owned directly by the undersigned (including holding as a custodian) or with respect to which the undersigned has beneficial ownership within the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (collectively the “Undersigned’s Shares”).

The foregoing restriction is expressly agreed to preclude the undersigned from engaging in any hedging or other transaction which is designed to or which reasonably could be expected to lead to or result in a sale or disposition of the Undersigned’s Shares even if such shares would be disposed of by someone other than the undersigned. Such prohibited hedging or other transactions would include without limitation any short sale or any purchase, sale or grant of any right (including without limitation any put or call option) with respect to any of the Undersigned’s Shares or with respect to any security that includes, relates to, or derives any significant part of its value from such shares.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the undersigned may:

(a)

transfer the Undersigned’s Shares:

(i)

as a bona fide gift or gifts,

(ii)

to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned or, if the undersigned is a trust, to a trustor or beneficiary of the trust or to the estate of a beneficiary of such trust,

(iii)

by will or the laws of descent,

(iv)

in connection with the sale of the Undersigned’s Shares acquired in open market transactions after the date of the Purchase Agreement,

(v)

if the undersigned is a corporation, partnership or other business entity, (A) to another corporation, partnership or other business entity that controls, is controlled by or managed by or is under common control with such stockholder or (B) as part of a distribution to an equityholder of the undersigned or to the estate of any such equityholder,

(vi)

to the Company, as forfeitures to satisfy any income, employment or social tax withholding and remittance obligations of the undersigned or the employer of the undersigned in connection with the vesting of restricted stock units (including PRSUs) held by the undersigned and outstanding as of the date of the final Offering Memorandum relating to the Securities and described therein,

(vii)

if (A) the undersigned is an employee of the Company as of the date of transfer and (B) the Company does not elect to settle income tax withholding and remittance obligations of the undersigned (or the employer of the undersigned) in connection with the vesting of restricted stock units (including PRSUs) held by the undersigned by withholding shares of Common Stock as forfeitures pursuant to

subclause (vi) above, then the undersigned may transfer up to that number of shares of the Common Stock underlying restricted stock units (including PRSUs) held by the undersigned that are vested and settled and necessary to satisfy income tax withholding and remittance obligations in connection with the vesting of restricted stock units (including PRSUs) outstanding as of the date of the final Offering Memorandum relating to the Securities and described therein (for avoidance of doubt, this right to transfer shares of Common Stock will apply on a particular date only with respect to Common Stock underlying restricted stock units (including PRSUs) held by the undersigned that are vested and settled on or before such date),

(viii)

to the Company, in connection with the receipt of shares of Common Stock upon the “net” or “cashless” exercise of options to purchase shares of Common Stock for purposes of exercising such options, including the payment of taxes due as a result of such exercise, with respect to stock options outstanding as of the date of the final Offering Memorandum and described therein, provided that any such shares of Common Stock received upon such exercise shall be subject to the terms of this Lock-Up Agreement,

(ix)

to the Company, in connection with the repurchase of shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to an employee benefit plan disclosed in the final Offering Memorandum or pursuant to the agreements pursuant to which such shares were issued,

(x)

pursuant to a bona fide third-party tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction made to all holders of the Company’s capital stock involving a change of control of the Company, provided that in the event that such tender offer, merger, consolidation or other such transaction is not completed, the Undersigned’s Shares shall remain subject to the provisions of this Lock-Up Agreement,

(xi)

by operation of law, such as pursuant to a qualified domestic order or in connection with a divorce settlement,

(xii)

pursuant to a written plan of which you are aware meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act entered into prior to the date of this letter agreement relating to the sale of the Undersigned’s Shares, or

(xiii)

with the prior written consent of the Representatives on behalf of the Purchasers;

provided, however, that in the case of subclauses (i), (ii), (iii), (v) and (xi) above, it shall be a condition to the transfer or distribution that each transferee, donee or distributee shall execute an agreement stating that such transferee, donee or distributee is receiving and holding such capital stock subject to the provisions of this Lock-Up Agreement and there shall be no further transfer of such capital stock except in accordance with this letter agreement; provided, further, that in the case of subclauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v), it shall be a condition to the transfer or distribution that no filing under Section 16 of the Securities

Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), shall be required or voluntarily made during the Lock-Up Period in connection with such transfer or distribution; provided further, that in the case of subclauses (vii) and (viii), any filing under Section 16 of the Exchange Act required in connection therewith indicates that such transfer is to satisfy income tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of restricted stock units or the “net” or “cashless” exercise of options to purchase shares of Common Stock, as applicable; and provided, further, that in the case of subclause (xii), any filing under Section 16 of the Exchange Act required in connection therewith indicates that such transfer is pursuant to such written plan.

(b)

enter into a written plan meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act after the date of this letter agreement relating to the sale of the Undersigned’s Shares, if then permitted by the Company, provided that the securities subject to such plan may not be sold until after the expiration of the Lock-Up Period and no public announcement or filing under the Exchange Act regarding the establishment of such plan shall be required or voluntarily made during the Lock-Up Period.

For purposes of this Lock-Up Agreement, “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin. The undersigned now has, and, except as contemplated by clause (a) above, for the duration of this Lock-Up Agreement will have, good and marketable title to the Undersigned’s Shares, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, and claims whatsoever. The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of the Undersigned’s Shares except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions.

In addition, the undersigned agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Representatives on behalf of the Purchasers, he or she will not, during the Lock-Up Period, make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of any shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock. The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of the Undersigned’s Shares except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions.

The undersigned hereby consents to receipt of this Lock-Up Agreement in electronic form and understands and agrees that this Lock-Up Agreement may be signed electronically. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, electronic mail, or otherwise by electronic transmission evidencing an intent to sign this Lock-Up Agreement, such facsimile transmission, electronic mail or other electronic transmission shall create a valid and binding obligation of the undersigned with the same force and effect as if such signature were an original. Execution and delivery of this Lock-Up Agreement by facsimile transmission, electronic mail or other electronic transmission is legal, valid and binding for all purposes.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Lock-Up Agreement will automatically terminate and the undersigned will be released from all of his, her or its obligations hereunder upon the earliest to occur, if any, of (i) the Company advising the Representatives in writing prior to entry into the Purchase Agreement that it does not intend to proceed with the offering of the Securities; (ii) the Purchase Agreement (other than the provisions thereof which survive termination) terminates or is terminated prior to payment for and delivery of the Securities to be sold thereunder; or (iii) March 31, 2021, in the event that the Purchase Agreement has not been executed by such date.

The undersigned understands that the Company and the Purchasers are relying upon this Lock-Up Agreement in proceeding toward consummation of the offering. The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that the Purchasers have not provided any recommendation or investment advice nor have the Purchasers solicited any action from the undersigned with respect to the offering of the Securities and the undersigned has consulted their own legal, accounting, financial, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent deemed appropriate. The undersigned further understands that this Lock-Up Agreement is irrevocable and shall be binding upon the undersigned’s heirs, legal representatives, successors, and assigns. This Lock-Up Agreement and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related to this Lock-Up Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof.

If one or more provisions of this Lock-Up Agreement are held to be unenforceable under applicable law, such provision(s) shall be excluded from this Lock-Up Agreement and the balance of this Lock-Up Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision(s) were so excluded and shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.
