Substantial blocks of our total outstanding shares may be sold into the market when “lock-up” or “market standoff” periods end. If there are substantial sales of shares of our common stock, the price of our Class A common stock could decline.



The price of our Class A common stock could decline if there are substantial sales of our common stock, particularly sales by our directors, executive officers, employees, and significant stockholders, or when there is a large number of shares of our common stock available for sale. After our initial public offering, we will have outstanding 598,396,119 shares of our Class A common stock and 1,539,688,918 shares of our Class B common stock, based on the number of shares outstanding as of March 31, 2012. This includes 337,415,352 shares that we and the selling stockholders are selling in our initial public offering, which shares may be resold in the public market immediately following our initial public offering, and assumes no additional exercises of outstanding options (other than the partial exercise of an outstanding stock option to purchase 120,000,000 shares of Class B common stock held by Mr. Zuckerberg, resulting in the issuance of 60,000,000 shares of our Class B common stock as described elsewhere in this prospectus). Shares of our Class B common stock are convertible into an equivalent number of shares of our Class A common stock and generally convert into shares of our Class A common stock upon transfer. The 260,980,767 shares of our Class A common stock and 1,539,688,918 shares of our Class B common stock that are not offered and sold in our initial public offering as well as the shares underlying outstanding RSUs and shares subject to employee stock options will be eligible for sale in the public market in the near future as set forth below.
