The following communication was disseminated on November 19, 2009 to holders of On2 common stock identified as of October 20, 2009, the notice record date for the special meeting of On2 stockholders to consider and vote upon the proposed merger with Google Inc.


** *  IMPORTANT NOTICE  ***
 
November 19, 2009

Dear Stockholder:

According to our latest records, we have not yet received your proxy for the important special meeting of stockholders of On2 Technologies, Inc. to be held on December 18, 2009.   Your Board of Directors strongly recommends that stockholders vote FOR the proposed merger.
 
We urge you to vote FOR the merger with Google today.
 
If the merger is approved , you will receive $0.60 worth of Google Class A Common Stock in exchange for each share of On2 common stock that you own, and/or cash payable in lieu of any fractional shares, without interest.
 
On the other hand, if the Google merger is not approved, the value of your On2 investment could be materially impacted.   We urge you to carefully review the section entitled “ Risks Related to On2’s Business if the Merger is Not Consummated ” beginning on page 23 of the proxy statement/prospectus previously mailed to you.  It details a number of risks that we believe you should seriously consider in deciding how to vote.
 
You also should be aware that since approval of the Google merger requires the approval of a majority of On2’s outstanding shares, your vote is important, no matter how many or how few shares you own .  Please vote today—by telephone, via the Internet, or by signing, dating and returning your proxy card in the enclosed envelope.
 
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
 
Very truly yours,
 
The Board of Directors
 
 
 

 
 
 
PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT OF YOUR TIME TO VOTE TODAY!
 
You can vote your shares by telephone or via the Internet--
simply follow the easy instructions on the enclosed proxy card.
 
If you have any questions, or need assistance in voting
your shares, please call our proxy solicitor,
 
INNISFREE M&A INCORPORATED
TOLL-FREE at (877) 456-3488.

Forward-Looking Statement
 
Information set forth in this communication contains forward-looking statements, which involve a number of risks and uncertainties. All statements included in this communication, other than statements of historical fact, that address activities, events or developments that On2 expects, believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. These statements represent On2’s reasonable judgment on the future based on various factors and using numerous assumptions and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual outcomes and/or On2’s financial position to differ materially from those contemplated by the statements. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They use words such as “believe,” “expect,” “will,” “anticipate,” ‘should,” “plans” and other words of similar meaning. On2 cautions readers that any forward-looking information is not a guarantee of future performance and that actual results could differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking information. Investors should not rely on forward-looking statements because they are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from On2’s expectation. Risks and uncertainties include, among others: the extent to which On2 will continue to incur operating losses in the future; the risk that the conditions to merger set forth in the agreement and plan of merger will not be satisfied and the transaction will not be consummated; uncertainties as to the timing of the merger; uncertainties as to whether holders of On2 Common Stock will approve the merger proposal at the On2 special meeting; changes in On2’s business during the period between now and the effective time of the merger that could cause a condition to closing not to be satisfied; as well as other factors detailed in On2’s and Google’s filings with the SEC, including the definitive proxy statement/prospectus, and subsequent SEC filings.
 
Additional information concerning risk factors is contained from time to time in On2’s SEC filings. On2 expressly disclaims any obligation to update the information contained in this communication. The foregoing risks and uncertainties included herein are not exhaustive.
