PRICE (IN DOLLARS) PER SHARE AT WHICH SHARES ARE BEING TENDERED

(See Instruction 5 to the Letter of Transmittal)

THE UNDERSIGNED IS TENDERING SHARES AS FOLLOWS (CHECK ONLY ONE BOX UNDER (1) OR (2) BELOW):

(1)	SHARES TENDERED AT PRICE DETERMINED UNDER THE OFFER

By checking the box below INSTEAD OF ONE OF THE BOXES UNDER “Shares Tendered At Price Determined By Stockholder,” the undersigned hereby tenders Shares at the purchase price as shall be determined by MicroStrategy in accordance with the terms of the Offer.

☐

The undersigned wishes to maximize the chances of having MicroStrategy purchase all of the Shares the undersigned is tendering (subject to the possibility of proration). Accordingly, by checking this box instead of one of the price boxes below, the undersigned hereby tenders its Shares at, and is willing to accept, the Final Purchase Price as determined by MicroStrategy in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer. The undersigned understands that checking this box will result in its Shares being deemed to have been tendered at $122.00 per Share, which is the low end of the price range in the Offer, for purposes of determining the Final Purchase Price. The undersigned also understands that this may have the effect of lowering the Final Purchase Price and could result in the undersigned receiving a per Share price as low as $122.00, which is the low end of the price range in the Offer, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest.

(2) SHARES TENDERED AT PRICE DETERMINED BY STOCKHOLDER

By checking ONE of the following boxes INSTEAD OF THE BOX UNDER “Shares Tendered At Price Determined Under The Offer,” the undersigned hereby tenders Shares at the price checked. The undersigned understands that this action could result in MicroStrategy purchasing none of the Shares tendered hereby if the Final Purchase Price determined by MicroStrategy in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer is less than the price checked below.


☐ $122.00	☐ $126.00	☐ $130.00	☐ $134.00	☐ $138.00

☐ $123.00	☐ $127.00	☐ $131.00	☐ $135.00	☐ $139.00

☐ $125.00	☐ $129.00	☐ $133.00	☐ $137.00

CHECK ONLY ONE BOX UNDER (1) OR (2) ABOVE. IF MORE THAN ONE BOX IS CHECKED ABOVE, THERE IS NO VALID TENDER OF SHARES.

A STOCKHOLDER DESIRING TO TENDER SHARES AT MORE THAN ONE PRICE MUST COMPLETE A SEPARATE NOTICE OF GUARANTEED DELIVERY FOR EACH PRICE AT WHICH SHARES ARE TENDERED. THE SAME SHARES CANNOT BE TENDERED AT MORE THAN ONE PRICE, UNLESS PREVIOUSLY PROPERLY WITHDRAWN AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 4 OF THE OFFER TO PURCHASE.

CONDITIONAL TENDER

(See Instruction 13 of the Letter of Transmittal)

A stockholder may tender Shares subject to the condition that a specified minimum number of the stockholder’s Shares tendered pursuant to the Letter of Transmittal must be purchased if any Shares tendered are purchased, all as described in the Offer to Purchase, particularly in Section 6 of the Offer to Purchase. Unless at least the minimum number of Shares indicated below is purchased by MicroStrategy pursuant to the terms of the Offer, none of the Shares tendered will be purchased. It is the tendering stockholder’s responsibility to calculate that minimum number of Shares that must be purchased if any are purchased, and MicroStrategy urges stockholders to consult their own financial and tax advisors before completing this section. Unless this box has been checked and a minimum specified, the tender will be deemed unconditional.

The minimum number of Shares that must be purchased, if any are purchased, is: Shares.

If, because of proration, the minimum number of Shares designated will not be purchased, MicroStrategy may accept conditional tenders by random lot, if necessary. However, to be eligible for purchase by random lot, the tendering stockholder must have tendered all of his or her Shares and checked this box:

☐	The tendered Shares represent all Shares held by the undersigned.

ODD LOTS

(See Instruction 14 of the Letter of Transmittal)

As described in Section 1 of the Offer to Purchase, under certain conditions, stockholders holding less than 100 Shares may have their Shares accepted for payment before any proration of other tendered Shares. This preference is not available to partial tenders or to beneficial or record holders of an aggregate of 100 or more Shares, even if such holders have separate accounts or certificates representing fewer than 100 Shares. Accordingly, this section is to be completed ONLY if Shares are being tendered by or on behalf of a person owning, beneficially or of record, an aggregate of fewer than 100 Shares. The undersigned either (check one box):

☐	is the beneficial or record owner of an aggregate of fewer than 100 Shares, all of which are being tendered; or

☐

is a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee that (a) is tendering, on behalf of the beneficial owner(s), Shares with respect to which it is the record holder and (b) believes, based upon representations made to it by the beneficial owner(s) of such Shares, that each such person is the beneficial owner of an aggregate of less than 100 Shares and is tendering all such Shares.
