Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

In connection with a purchase agreement for software technology related to network connections, entered into on December 4, 2015, Square, Inc. (“Square”) issued 667,133 shares of its Class A Common Stock to a company on December 15, 2015 as a portion of the consideration for the purchase and license of certain assets of the company. Square’s offer, sale, and issuance of these shares were made in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the purchase agreement and were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), pursuant to the private offering exemption provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The offer, sale, and issuance qualified for this exemption based on the following factors, among others: (i) the absence of general solicitation, (ii) the investment representations made by the target company, (iii) the provision of appropriate disclosure to the target company, and (iv) the placement of restrictive legends on the relevant securities.
