Explanation of Responses:
(1)  In accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission Release No. 34-39538 (January 12, 1998) (the "Release"), this filing reflects the securities beneficially owned by certain operating units (collectively, the "Goldman Sachs Reporting Units") of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, "GSG"). This filing does not reflect securities, if any, beneficially owned by any operating units of GSG whose ownership of securities is disaggregated from that of the Goldman Sachs Reporting Units in accordance with the Release.
(2)  The Goldman Sachs Reporting Units disclaim beneficial ownership of the securities beneficially owned by (i) any client accounts with respect to which the Goldman Sachs Reporting Units or their employees have voting or investment discretion or both, or with respect to which there are limits on their voting or investment authority or both and (ii) certain investment entities of which the Goldman Sachs Reporting Units act as the general partners, managing general partner or other manager, to the extent interests in such entities are held by persons other than the Goldman Sachs Reporting Units.
(3)  This statement is being filed by The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. ("GS Group") and Goldman, Sachs & Co. ("Goldman Sachs", and together with GS Group, the "Reporting Persons"). Goldman Sachs is a wholly-owned subsidiary of GS Group.
(4)  Pursuant to an underwriting agreement, dated May 17, 2012 (the "Underwriting Agreement"), and in connection with the registered public offering (the "Offering") of shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.000006 (the "Common Stock"), of Facebook, Inc. (the "Company"), GS Group sold 5,243,185 shares of Common Stock. The public offering price in the Offering was $38.00 per share of Common Stock and the underwriting discount was $0.418 per share of Common Stock. Accordingly, GS Group sold an aggregate of 5,243,185 shares of Common Stock and received a price per share of $37.582 (which is net of the underwriting discount) for an aggregate amount of $197,049,378.67. Following such sale, GS Group beneficially owns directly 8,971,622 shares of Common Stock.
(5)  The Reporting Persons disclaim beneficial ownership of all shares of Common Stock in excess of their pecuniary interest, if any, and this report shall not be deemed an admission that any such person or entity is the beneficial owner of, or has any pecuniary interest in, such securities for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or for any other purpose.
