</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On February&nbsp;2, 2007, Akamai Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (&#147;Akamai&#148; or the
&#147;Registrant&#148;), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the &#147;Merger Agreement&#148;), by and among
Akamai, Lode Star Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Akamai
(the &#147;Merger Sub&#148;), Netli, Inc., a Delaware corporation (&#147;Netli&#148;), the Non-competition Parties
named therein and the Principal Stockholders named therein. A copy of the press release announcing
completion of the acquisition is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit&nbsp;99.1.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The acquisition contemplated by the Merger Agreement closed on March&nbsp;13, 2007. Upon closing,
Netli, a provider of services for the delivery of applications and content over the Internet,
became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Akamai. Shares of Netli capital stock issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the closing were canceled and converted into the right to receive shares of
Akamai common stock. Each outstanding option to purchase shares of Netli capital stock
was assumed by Akamai and converted into an option to purchase shares of
Akamai common stock.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Akamai issued approximately 2.8&nbsp;million shares of its
common stock to the holders of Netli capital stock and assumed Netli&#146;s outstanding options, which
became options to purchase approximately 400,000 shares of Akamai common stock. Approximately 1.1
million of the shares issued at closing were placed in escrow primarily to secure the
indemnification obligations of Netli&#146;s former stockholders. The Akamai securities were issued
without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &#147;Securities Act&#148;), pursuant
to the exemptions set forth in Section&nbsp;4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule&nbsp;506 of Regulation&nbsp;D.
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Akamai has agreed to register with the Securities and
Exchange Commission the shares of its common stock issued to former Netli stockholders in the
merger. The terms of the issuance of Akamai securities are more fully described in Item&nbsp;5 of Part
II of the Registrant&#146;s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
on March&nbsp;1, 2007.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The terms of the Merger Agreement were determined on the basis of arms-length negotiations.
Prior to the execution of the Merger Agreement, none of Akamai, any of its affiliates, any director
or officer of Akamai or any associate of any such director or officer, had any material
relationship with Netli.

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>CAMBRIDGE, MA </B>&#151; <B>March&nbsp;14, 2007 </B>&#151; Akamai Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: AKAM) today announced it
has completed its acquisition of Netli, Inc., a privately held company based in Mountain View,
California. Akamai announced a definitive agreement on February&nbsp;5, 2007 to acquire Netli in a
merger transaction.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Akamai acquired Netli in an effort to enhance its application acceleration solutions, which are
designed to improve the performance of Web- and other Internet-based applications. By combining
Netli&#146;s high performance communications protocol with Akamai&#146;s worldwide network of servers and
unique capabilities to route Internet traffic around points of congestion, Akamai expects to offer
businesses the most effective managed services for accelerating online applications.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&#147;We believe the majority of today&#146;s successful enterprises doing business online require both
content and application acceleration,&#148; said Paul Sagan, president and CEO of Akamai. &#147;With our
acquisition of Netli now complete, we are excited to add more value to our portfolio of managed
services. Netli has developed important technology and operational expertise in the area of
application acceleration, and by combining our efforts we expect to offer a compelling and
comprehensive set of solutions.&#148;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Under terms of the agreement, Akamai acquired all of the outstanding equity of Netli by issuing
approximately 3.2&nbsp;million shares of Akamai common stock in a private placement. The merger
transaction will be accounted for by Akamai under the purchase method of accounting.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Akamai expects to provide an update on its integration plans for Netli during Akamai&#146;s next
quarterly investor call.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The release contains information about future expectations, plans and prospects of Akamai&#146;s
management that constitute forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor provisions
under The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements regarding the
expected benefits of the acquisition of Netli and Akamai&#146;s expected timing for an integration
update. Actual results may differ materially from those indicated by these forward-looking
statements as a result of various important factors including, but not limited to, expectations
regarding the performance of the combined business, difficulty in integrating Netli&#146;s operations
with Akamai&#146;s, failure of Akamai&#146;s network infrastructure, continuing market acceptance of our
services and those provided by Netli and other factors that are discussed in the Company&#146;s Annual
Report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and other documents periodically filed with
the SEC.
