This Supplement (this &#147;Supplement&#148;) supplements and
amends the Offer to Purchase, dated February&nbsp;10, 2004 (as
amended by Amendment No.&nbsp;1 to the Schedule&nbsp;TO (File
No.&nbsp;005-57113) filed on February&nbsp;19, 2004 and hereby
and as it may be further supplemented or amended from time to
time, the &#147;Offer to Purchase&#148;) and the related Letter
of Transmittal (as amended and restated by Amendment No.&nbsp;2
to the Schedule&nbsp;TO (File No.&nbsp;005-57113) filed on
March&nbsp;10, 2004 (&#147;Amendment No.&nbsp;2 to
Schedule&nbsp;TO&#148;) and as it may be further supplemented or
amended from time to time, the &#147;Letter of Transmittal&#148;
and, together with the Offer to Purchase, the &#147;Offer&#148;)
of Akamai Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (referred
to as &#147;Akamai&#148; or &#147;we&#148;).

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Akamai is amending its previously announced offer to purchase
for cash, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth
in the Offer to Purchase and in the related Letter of
Transmittal, up to $101,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of
its outstanding 5&nbsp;1/2% Convertible Subordinated Notes due
2007 (the &#147;Notes&#148;). As amended by this Supplement,
Akamai is offering to purchase the Notes at price not greater
than $1,012.50 nor less than $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount,
plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including,
the date of payment. Akamai will determine the exact price to be
paid for the Notes purchased in the Offer using the
&#147;Modified Dutch Auction&#148; procedure described in the
Offer to Purchase.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Akamai has extended the Expiration Date of the Offer to 9:00
a.m., Eastern time, on Wednesday, March&nbsp;24, 2004, unless
further extended.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
All references in the Offer to the &#147;Maximum Offer
Price&#148; for the Notes shall mean the highest price in the
price range listed above ($1,012.50). All references in the
Offer to the &#147;Expiration Date&#148; shall mean 9:00 a.m.,
Eastern time, on Wednesday, March&nbsp;24, 2004, unless the
Offer is further extended.

<B>Incorporation by Reference of Annual Report on Form&nbsp;10-K
for the fiscal year ended December&nbsp;31, 2003</B>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
On March&nbsp;10, 2004, Akamai filed with the SEC its Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December&nbsp;31,
2003 (the &#147;2003 Annual Report&#148;). The 2003 Annual
Report has been added as one of the documents that is
incorporated by reference in the Offer to Purchase. We will
provide without charge to each person, including any beneficial
owner of Notes, upon written or oral request of such person, a
copy of the 2003 Annual Report, other than the exhibits to such
document (unless such exhibits are specifically incorporated by
reference in the Offer to Purchase). Requests for such copies
should be directed to the Information Agent at the address below.

<P align="left">
<B>Source and Amount of Funds</B>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Because we have amended the Maximum Offer Price, the maximum
amount of funds required by Akamai to purchase the Notes
pursuant to the Offer has increased from the amount set forth
originally in the Offer and is now estimated to be approximately
$102,262,500 plus approximately $1,388,770 in accrued interest,
assuming payment of the Notes purchased in the Offer is made on
March&nbsp;31, 2004. Akamai expects to fund its purchase of
Notes in the Offer from its cash on hand.

<P align="left">
<B>Amended and Restated Letter of Transmittal</B>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Holders wishing to tender Notes may continue to use the Letter
of Transmittal originally provided by Akamai on
February&nbsp;10, 2004, or the Amended and Restated Letter of
Transmittal filed as an exhibit to Amendment No.&nbsp;2 to
Schedule&nbsp;TO.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Holders that have previously validly tendered (and not
withdrawn) their Notes pursuant to the Offer are not required to
take any further action to receive the Purchase Price for any
such Notes purchased pursuant to the Offer, unless they wish to
withdraw their Notes or they wish to change the Purchase Price
for which their Notes are being tendered. Holders that wish to
withdraw their Notes must follow the procedures set forth in
Section&nbsp;8 of the Offer to Purchase. Holders that wish to
change the Purchase Price for which their Notes are being
tendered must withdraw their Notes following the procedures set
forth in Section&nbsp;8 of the Offer to Purchase and retender
their Notes following one of the procedures set forth in
Section&nbsp;7 of the Offer to Purchase.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Except as set forth in this Supplement, the terms and conditions
of the Offer remain as set forth in the Offer to Purchase and
the Letter of Transmittal. This Supplement should be read in
connection with the Offer to Purchase and the Letter of
Transmittal. Unless otherwise indicated, capitalized terms used
in this Supplement have the same meanings given to them in the

The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the
undersigned has full power and authority to tender, sell, assign
and transfer the Notes tendered hereby, and that when such Notes
are accepted for purchase and payment by Akamai, Akamai will
acquire good title thereto, free and clear of all liens,
restrictions, charges and encumbrances and not subject to any
adverse claim or right. The undersigned will, upon request,
execute and deliver any additional documents deemed by the
Depositary or Akamai to be necessary or desirable to complete
the sale, assignment and transfer of the Notes tendered hereby.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Tenders of Notes pursuant to any of the procedures described in
the Offer to Purchase and in the instructions hereto and
acceptance thereof by Akamai will constitute a binding agreement
between the undersigned and Akamai upon the terms and subject to
the conditions of the Offer.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
For purposes of the Offer, Akamai will be deemed to have
accepted for payment validly tendered Notes if, as and when
Akamai gives oral (confirmed in writing) or written notice
thereof to the Depositary.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Akamai&#146;s obligation to accept for payment, and to pay for,
Notes validly tendered pursuant to the Offer is subject to
satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in Section&nbsp;10
of the Offer to Purchase under the caption &#147;Conditions to
the Offer&#148; which conditions Akamai may, in its sole
discretion waive, subject to applicable law. Any Notes not
accepted for payment will be returned, without expense, to the
tendering holder (or, in the case of Notes tendered by
book-entry transfer, those Notes will be credited to the account
maintained at DTC from which those Notes were delivered) unless
otherwise requested by such holder under &#147;Special Delivery
Instructions&#148; below, promptly following the Expiration Date
or termination of the Offer.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
All authority conferred or agreed to be conferred by this Letter
of Transmittal shall not be affected by, and survive, the death
or incapacity of the undersigned and every obligation of the
undersigned under this Letter of Transmittal shall be binding
upon the undersigned&#146;s heirs, personal representatives,
executors, administrators, successors, assigns, trustees in
bankruptcy and other legal representatives.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
The delivery and surrender of the Notes is not effective, and
the risk of loss of the Notes does not pass to the Depositary
until receipt by the Depositary of this Letter of Transmittal
(or a manually signed facsimile hereof) properly completed and
duly executed, together with all accompanying evidences of
authority and any other required documents in form satisfactory
to Akamai or receipt of an Agent&#146;s Message. All questions
as to the form of all documents and the validity (including time
of receipt) and acceptance of tenders and withdrawals of Notes
will be determined by Akamai, in its sole discretion, which
determination shall be final and binding.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Unless otherwise indicated under &#147;Special Payment
Instructions&#148; below, please issue a check from the
Depositary for the Purchase Price for any Notes tendered hereby
(together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not
including, the date of purchase) that are purchased, and/or
return any certificates representing Notes not tendered or not
accepted for purchase in the name(s) of the holder(s) appearing
under &#147;Description of Notes Tendered.&#148; Similarly,
unless otherwise indicated under &#147;Special Delivery
Instructions,&#148; please mail the check for the Purchase Price
(together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not
including, the date of purchase) and/or return any certificates
representing Notes not tendered or not accepted for purchase
(and accompanying documents, as appropriate) to the address(es)

Tendered.&#148; In the event that both the Special Payment
Instructions and the Special Delivery Instructions are

(together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not

Notes, please credit the account maintained at DTC with any
Notes not tendered or not accepted for purchase. The undersigned
recognizes that Akamai does not have any obligation pursuant to

in the Offer to Purchase.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Requirements of Tender.</I>
This Letter of Transmittal may be completed by holders of Notes
if certificates representing such Notes are to be forwarded
herewith, or if delivery of such certificates is to be made by
book-entry transfer to the account maintained by DTC, pursuant
to the procedures set forth in the Offer to Purchase under
Section&nbsp;7, &#147;Procedures for Tendering Notes.&#148; For
a holder validly to tender Notes pursuant to the Offer, a
properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal (or a
manually signed facsimile thereof), or a properly transmitted
Agent&#146;s Message, together with any signature guarantees and
any other documents required by these Instructions, must be
received by the Depositary at its address set forth herein on or
prior to the Expiration Date and either (a)&nbsp;certificates
representing such Notes must be received by the Depositary at
its address or (b)&nbsp;such Notes must be transferred pursuant
to the procedures for book-entry transfer described in the Offer
to Purchase under Section&nbsp;7, &#147;Procedures for Tendering
Notes&#148; and a Book-Entry Confirmation must be received by
the Depositary, in each case, on or prior to the Expiration Date.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<B>The method of delivery of this Letter of Transmittal, the
Notes and all other required documents, including delivery
through DTC and acceptance of an Agent&#146;s Message
transmitted through ATOP, is at the sole option and risk of the
tendering holder and the delivery will be deemed made only when
actually received by the Depositary. If delivery is by mail,
registered mail with return receipt requested, properly insured,
is recommended. In all cases, sufficient time should be allowed
for such documents to reach the Depositary.</B>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
No alternative, conditional or contingent tenders shall be
accepted. All tendering holders, by execution of this Letter of
Transmittal (or a manually signed facsimile thereof), waive any
right to receive any notice of the acceptance of their Notes for
payment.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Withdrawal of Tenders;
Amendment and Extension.</I> A holder of Notes may withdraw its
tendered Notes at any time prior to the Expiration Date but not
thereafter, except if Akamai has not yet accepted them for
payment, after April 6, 2004, and until such Notes are accepted
for payment. If Akamai terminates the Offer or does not purchase
any Notes in the Offer, Akamai will instruct the Depositary to
return such Notes, at Akamai&#146;s expense, to the tendering
holder (or, in the case of Notes tendered by book-entry
transfer, those Notes will be credited to the account maintained
at DTC from which those Notes were delivered) unless otherwise
requested by such holder under &#147;Special Delivery
Instructions&#148; below, promptly following the Expiration Date
or termination of the Offer.

If, for any reason whatsoever, acceptance for payment of, or
payment for, any Notes tendered pursuant to the Offer is delayed
(whether before or after Akamai&#146;s acceptance for payment of
Notes) or Akamai is unable to accept for payment or pay for the
Notes tendered pursuant to the Offer, Akamai may (without
prejudice to its rights set forth in the Offer to Purchase)
instruct the Depositary to retain tendered Notes, and such Notes
may not be withdrawn except in accordance with Section&nbsp;8,
&#147;Withdrawal of Tenders,&#148; in the Offer to Purchase
(subject to Rule&nbsp;14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act, which
requires that the offeror pay the consideration offered or
return the securities deposited by or on behalf of the investor
promptly after the termination or withdrawal of a tender offer).

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
For a withdrawal of Notes tendered pursuant to the Offer to be
effective, a written or facsimile transmission notice of

    irrevocable proxy that authorizes such person to effect such
    withdrawal on behalf of such holder.</TD>
</TR>

</TABLE>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
The signature on the notice of withdrawal must be guaranteed by
an Eligible Institution unless such Notes have been tendered for
the account of an Eligible Institution. If the Notes to be
withdrawn have been delivered or otherwise identified to the
Depositary, a signed timely and properly completed and presented
notice of withdrawal or a Request Message is effective
immediately upon receipt thereof, even if physical release is
not yet effected.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Any permitted withdrawal of tendered Notes may not be rescinded,
and any Notes properly withdrawn will thereafter be deemed not
validly tendered. However, properly withdrawn Notes may be
re-tendered, by again following one of the procedures described
in Section&nbsp;7, &#147;Procedures for Tendering Notes,&#148;
in the Offer to Purchase, at any time on or prior to the
Expiration Date.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
All questions as to the validity, form and eligibility
(including time of receipt) of notices of withdrawal will be
determined by Akamai, in Akamai&#146;s sole discretion (whose
determination shall be final and binding). None of Akamai, the
Dealer Manager, the Information Agent, the Depositary, nor any
other person will be under any duty to give notification of any
defects or irregularities in any notice of withdrawal or Request
Message, or incur any liability for failure to give any such
notification.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
If Akamai makes a material change in the terms of the Offer or
the information concerning the Offer or waives a material
condition of the Offer, Akamai will disseminate additional
materials relating to the Offer and extend the Offer to the
extent required by law. In addition, Akamai may, if it deems
appropriate, extend the Offer for any other reason. In addition,
if the consideration to be paid in the Offer is increased or
decreased or the principal amount of Notes subject to the Offer
is increased or decreased, that Offer will remain open at least
10 business days from the date Akamai first gives notice of such
increase or decrease to holders of Notes subject to the Offer,
by press release or otherwise.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Partial Tenders.</I> Tenders
of Notes pursuant to the Offer will be accepted only in
principal amounts equal to $1,000 or integral multiples thereof.
If less than the entire principal amount of any Notes evidenced
by a submitted certificate is tendered, the tendering holder
must fill in the principal amount tendered in the appropriate
column of the box entitled &#147;Description of Notes
Tendered&#148; herein. The entire principal amount represented
by the certificates for all Notes delivered to the Depositary
will be deemed to have been tendered

unless otherwise indicated. If the entire principal amount of
all Notes is not tendered or not accepted for purchase,
certificates for the principal amount of Notes not tendered or
not accepted for purchase will be sent (or, if tendered by
book-entry transfer, returned by credit to the account at DTC
designated herein) to the holder unless otherwise provided in
the appropriate box in this Letter of Transmittal (see
Instruction 6) promptly after the Notes are accepted for
purchase.
</DIV>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Signatures on this Letter of
Transmittal, Bond Powers and Endorsement; Guarantee of
Signatures.</I> If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the
registered holder(s) of the Notes tendered hereby, the
signature(s) must correspond with the name(s) as written on the
face of the certificate(s) without alteration, enlargement or
any change whatsoever. If this Letter of Transmittal is signed
by a participant in DTC whose name is shown as the owner of the
Notes tendered hereby, the signature must correspond with the
name shown on the security position listing as the owner of the
Notes.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
If any of the Notes tendered hereby are owned of record by two
or more joint owners, all such owners must sign the Letter of
Transmittal. If any tendered Notes are registered in different
names on several certificates, it will be necessary to complete,
sign and submit as many separate copies of this Letter of
Transmittal and any necessary accompanying documents as there
are different names in which certificates are held.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered
holder, the certificates for any principal amount of Notes not
tendered or accepted for purchase are to be issued (or if any
principal amount of Notes that is not tendered or not accepted
for purchase is to be reissued or returned) to or, if tendered
by book-entry transfer, credited to the account at DTC of the
registered holder, and checks constituting payments for Notes to
be purchased in connection with the Offer are to be issued to
the order of the registered holder, then the registered holder
need not endorse any certificates for tendered Notes, nor
provide a separate bond power. In any other case (including if
this Letter of Transmittal is not signed by the registered
holder), the registered holder must either properly endorse the
certificates for Notes tendered or transmit a separate properly
completed bond power with this Letter of Transmittal (in either
case, executed exactly as the name(s) of the registered
holder(s) appear(s) on such Notes, and, with respect to a
participant in DTC whose name appears on a security position
listing as the owner of Notes, exactly as the name(s) of the
participant(s) appear(s) on such security position listing),
with the signature on the endorsement or bond power guaranteed
by a Medallion Signature Guarantor, unless such certificates or
bond powers are executed by an Eligible Institution. See
Instruction 1.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
If this Letter of Transmittal or any certificates of Notes or
bond powers are signed by trustees, executors, administrators,
guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers of corporations or others
acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, such persons
should so indicate when signing. The proper evidence
satisfactory to Akamai of their authority to so act must be
submitted with this Letter of Transmittal.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Special Payment and Special
Delivery Instructions. </I>Tendering holders should indicate in
the applicable box or boxes the name and address to which Notes
for principal amounts not tendered or not accepted for purchase
or checks constituting payments for Notes to be purchased in
connection with the Offer are to be issued or sent, if different
from the name and address of the registered holder signing this
Letter of Transmittal. In the case of issuance in a different
name, the taxpayer identification or social security number of
the person named must also be indicated. If no instructions are
given, Notes not tendered or not accepted for purchase will be
returned to the registered holder of the Notes tendered. For
holders of Notes tendering by book-entry transfer, Notes not
tendered or not accepted for purchase will be returned by
crediting the account at DTC designated above. The undersigned
recognizes that Akamai does not have any obligation pursuant to
the Special Payment Instructions to transfer any Notes from the
name of the holder thereof if Akamai does not accept for
purchase any of the Notes so tendered and that Akamai does not
have any obligation pursuant to either the Special Payment
Instructions or Special Delivery Instructions to make payments
or deliver Notes pursuant thereto unless any and all taxes
payable by virtue of such Instructions have been paid by the
undersigned.

7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Backup Withholding;
Substitute Form&nbsp;W-9; Form&nbsp;W-8. </I>Each tendering
holder that is not a foreign person is required to provide the
Depositary with the holder&#146;s correct taxpayer
identification number (&#147;TIN&#148;),

<P align="center">11

<!-- PAGEBREAK -->
<P><HR noshade><P>
<H5 align="left" style="page-break-before:always">&nbsp;</H5><P>

<DIV align="left">
generally the holder&#146;s social security or federal employer
identification number, on the Substitute Form&nbsp;W-9, which is
provided under &#147;Important Tax Information&#148; below or,
alternatively, to establish another basis for exemption from
backup withholding. A holder must cross out item (2)&nbsp;in the
Certification box on Substitute Form&nbsp;W-9 if such holder is
subject to backup withholding. Failure to provide the
information on the form may subject the tendering holder to a
$50 penalty imposed by the Internal Revenue Service and to
applicable federal income tax backup withholding (currently at a
28% rate) on the payment made to the holder or other payee with
respect to Notes purchased pursuant to the Offer. &#147;Applied
For&#148; may be written in Part I if the tendering holder has
not been issued a TIN and has applied for a TIN or intends to
apply for a TIN in the near future. If &#147;Applied For&#148;
is written in Part I and the Depositary is not provided with a
TIN, the Depositary will withhold the applicable backup
withholding amount from all such payments with respect to the
Notes to be purchased until a TIN is provided to the Depositary.
In any case, 60&nbsp;days after the Payment Date the Depositary
will remit the withheld amount to the Internal Revenue Service
(&#147;IRS&#148;). Each tendering holder that is a foreign
person, including entities, must submit an appropriate properly
completed IRS Form&nbsp;W-8BEN, W-8ECI, W-8EXP or W-8IMY
(&#147;Form&nbsp;W-8&#148;) certifying, under penalties of
perjury, to such holder&#146;s foreign status in order to
establish an exemption from backup withholding. An appropriate
form W-8 can be obtained from the Information Agent or from the
IRS electronically by means of its home page on the Internet at
&#147;www.irs.gov.&#148;
</DIV>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
8.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Transfer Taxes.</I> Akamai
will pay all transfer taxes applicable to the purchase and
transfer of Notes pursuant to the Offer except in the case of
deliveries of certificates for Notes for principal amounts not
tendered or not accepted for payment that are registered or
issued in the name of any person other than the registered
holder of Notes tendered hereby pursuant to special
instructions. See Instruction 6. Except as provided in this
Instruction 8, it will not be necessary for transfer stamps to
be affixed to the certificates listed in this Letter of
Transmittal.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
9.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Irregularities.</I> All
questions as to the validity, form, eligibility (including time
of receipt) and acceptance for payment of any tendered Notes
pursuant to any of the procedures described above and the form
and validity (including time of receipt of notices of
withdrawal) of all related documents will be determined by
Akamai, in Akamai&#146;s sole discretion, which determination
shall be final and binding. Akamai reserves the absolute right
to reject any or all tenders of any Notes determined by it not
to be in proper form or if the acceptance of or payment for such
Notes may, in the opinion of Akamai&#146;s counsel, be unlawful.
Akamai also reserves the absolute right, in its sole discretion,
to waive any defect or irregularity in any tender with respect
to Notes of any particular holder, whether or not similar
defects or irregularities are waived in the case of other
holders. Akamai&#146;s interpretation of the terms and
conditions of the Offer (including the Letter of Transmittal and
the Instructions thereto) will be final and binding. None of
Akamai, the Dealer Manager, the Information Agent, the
Depositary or any other person will be under any duty to give
notification of any defects or irregularities in tenders or will
incur any liability for failure to give any such notification.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
10.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Waiver of Conditions.</I>
Akamai expressly reserves the absolute right, in its sole
discretion, to waive any of the conditions to the Offer in the
case of any Notes tendered, in whole or in part, at any time and
from time to time. If Akamai chooses to waive one of the
conditions to the Offer discussed in Section&nbsp;10,
&#147;Conditions to the Offer,&#148; in the Offer to Purchase
with respect to one holder of Notes, Akamai will waive that same
condition to the Offer for all holders of Notes.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
11.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<I>Mutilated, Lost, Stolen, or
Destroyed Certificates for Notes.</I> If a holder desires to
tender Notes, but the certificates evidencing such Notes have
been mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, such holder should
contact U.S. Bank National Association, Corporate Trust Services
at 225 Asylum Street, 23rd Floor, Hartford, Connecticut 06103,

<B>IMPORTANT TAX INFORMATION</B>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Under U.S.&nbsp;federal income tax laws, a holder whose tendered
Notes are accepted for payment is required to provide the
Depositary (as payor) with such holder&#146;s correct TIN on
Substitute Form&nbsp;W-9 below and to certify that the TIN
provided on Substitute Form&nbsp;W-9 is correct (or that such
holder is waiting for a TIN to be issued) or otherwise establish
a basis for exemption from backup withholding. If such holder is
an individual, the TIN is his or her social security number or
individual taxpayer identification number, as the case may be.
If the Depositary is not provided with the correct TIN, a $50
penalty may be imposed by the Internal Revenue Service
(&#147;IRS&#148;), and payments made with respect to Notes
purchased pursuant to the Offer may be subject to backup
withholding (currently at a 28% rate). Failure to comply
truthfully with the backup withholding requirements also may
result in the imposition of severe criminal and/or civil fines
and penalties.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Certain holders (including, among others, all corporations and
certain foreign individuals) may not be subject to these backup
withholding requirements. Exempt holders should enter their
name, address, status and TIN, check the &#147;Exempt From
Backup Withholding&#148; box on the Substitute Form&nbsp;W-9,
and sign, date and return the Substitute Form&nbsp;W-9 to the
Depositary. A foreign person (a holder that is not a
U.S.&nbsp;person nor a resident U.S.&nbsp;alien) may qualify as
an exempt recipient by submitting to the Depositary an
appropriate, properly completed Internal Revenue Service
Form&nbsp;W-8 signed under penalties of perjury, certifying to
that holder&#146;s foreign status. An appropriate Form&nbsp;W-8
can be obtained from the Information Agent. Holders are urged to
consult their own tax advisors to determine whether they are
exempt from these backup withholding and reporting requirements.
See the enclosed &#147;Guidelines for Certification of Taxpayer
Identification Number on Substitute Form&nbsp;W-9&#148; for
additional instructions.

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
If backup withholding applies, the Depositary is required to
withhold 28% of the gross amount of any payments made to the
holder or other payee. Backup withholding is not an additional
federal income tax. Rather, the federal income tax liability of
persons subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the
amount of tax withheld. If withholding results in an overpayment
of taxes, a refund may be obtained from the IRS, provided the
required information is furnished to the IRS. The Depositary
cannot refund amounts withheld by reason of backup withholding.

<P align="left">
<B>Purpose of Substitute Form&nbsp;W-9</B>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
To prevent backup withholding on payments made with respect to
Notes purchased pursuant to the Offer, the holder (other than an
exempt or foreign holder subject to the requirements set forth
above) is required to provide the Depositary with the
holder&#146;s correct TIN by completing the Substitute
Form&nbsp;W-9 herein, certifying that (i)&nbsp;the TIN provided
is correct (or that such holder is awaiting a TIN) and that
(ii)&nbsp;the holder is not subject to backup withholding
because (a)&nbsp;the holder is exempt from backup withholding,
(b)&nbsp;the holder has not been notified by the IRS that the
holder is subject to backup withholding as a result of failure
to report all interest or dividends or (c)&nbsp;the IRS has
notified the holder that the holder is no longer subject to
backup withholding; and (iii)&nbsp;the holder is a U.S. Person
(including a resident alien).

<P align="left">
<B>What Number to Give the Depositary</B>

<P align="left">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
The holder (other than an exempt or foreign holder subject to
the requirements set forth above) is required to give the
Depositary the TIN (i.e., social security number, individual
taxpayer identification number or employer identification
number) of the registered holder of the Notes. If the Notes are
held in more than one name or are held not in the name of the
actual owner, consult the enclosed &#147;Guidelines for
Certification of Taxpayer Identification Number on Substitute
Form&nbsp;W-9&#148; for additional guidance on which number to
report. If the holder has not been issued a TIN and has applied
for a number or intends to apply for a number in the near
future, the holder may return a properly completed, signed
Substitute Form&nbsp;W-9 with &#147;Applied For&#148; written in
Part&nbsp;I. If &#147;Applied For&#148; is written in
Part&nbsp;I, the holder must also complete the Certificate of
Awaiting Taxpayer Identification Number in order to avoid backup
withholding. If &#147;Applied For&#148; is written in
Part&nbsp;I and the Depositary is not provided with a TIN within
60&nbsp;days, backup withholding will begin and continue until
the holder furnishes its TIN to the Depositary.

<P align="center" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>AKAMAI AMENDS AND EXTENDS TENDER OFFER<BR>
FOR A PORTION OF ITS 5 1/2% CONVERTIBLE NOTES</B>



<P align="center" style="font-size: 10pt"><B><I>Increases maximum offer price to $1,012.50 per $1,000 principal amount of notes</I></B>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>CAMBRIDGE, MA, March&nbsp;10, 2004 </B>&#150; Akamai Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: AKAM) today
announced that it has amended and extended its &#147;Modified Dutch Auction&#148; tender
offer (the &#147;Offer&#148;) to purchase for cash up to $101&nbsp;million aggregate principal
amount (the &#147;Offer Amount&#148;) of its 5 1/2% Convertible Subordinated Notes due
2007 (the &#147;Notes&#148;).


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Under the &#147;Modified Dutch Auction&#148; procedure, Akamai will now determine a
single purchase price between $1,000 and $1,012.50 per $1,000 principal amount
of Notes, that, subject to the terms and conditions of the Offer, Akamai will
pay for Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer.
Originally, the maximum offer price had been $1,005 per $1,000 principal amount
of Notes.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">The Offer, proration period and withdrawal rights will now expire at 9:00 a.m.,
Eastern time, on Wednesday, March&nbsp;24, 2004, unless the Offer is further
extended.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Subject to the terms and conditions of the Offer, Akamai will select the single
lowest price within the range of $1,000 to $1,012.50 per $1,000 principal
amount of Notes (the &#147;Purchase Price&#148;) that will enable it to purchase the
Offer Amount (or, if less than the Offer Amount is validly tendered, all Notes
so tendered). Akamai will pay the same price for all Notes that are tendered at
or below the Purchase Price, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of
the Offer, including the proration terms. Akamai will also pay accrued and
unpaid interest on purchased Notes up to, but not including, the date of
payment. If the principal amount of Notes validly tendered on or prior to the
expiration date for the Offer at or below the Purchase Price exceeds the Offer
Amount then, subject to the terms and conditions of the Offer, Akamai will
accept for payment such Notes that are tendered at or below the Purchase Price
on a pro rata basis from among the tendered Notes. Akamai will return all Notes
that are not purchased in the Offer promptly after the Offer is completed.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">The terms and conditions of the Offer are set forth in Akamai&#146;s Offer to
Purchase dated February&nbsp;10, 2004, as amended on February&nbsp;19, 2004, the
Supplement to Offer to Purchase dated March&nbsp;10, 2004 (the &#147;Supplement&#148;) and the
related Amended and Restated Letter of Transmittal. Holders of the Notes are
urged to carefully read the Offer to Purchase, the Supplement, the Amended and
Restated Letter of Transmittal and the related documents as they contain
important information regarding the Offer. Subject to applicable law, Akamai
may, in its sole discretion, waive any condition applicable to the Offer or
extend or terminate or otherwise amend the Offer.
