Amendment Description Shopify Inc., a corporation existing under the Canada Business Corporations Act (the "CBCA"), qualifies as a foreign private issuer in the United States ("U.S.") for purposes of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Although, as a foreign private issuer, Shopify Inc. is not required to do so, Shopify Inc. has chosen to file annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") instead of filing the reporting forms available to foreign private issuers.Shopify Inc. prepares and files a management information circular and related material under Canadian requirements. As Shopify Inc.'s management information circular is not filed pursuant to Regulation 14A, Shopify Inc. may not incorporate by reference information required by Part III of its Annual Report on Form 10-K from its management information circular. Shopify Inc. filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (the "Original Filing") with the SEC on February 11, 2025. In reliance upon and as permitted by General Instruction G(3) to Form 10-K, Shopify Inc. is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A in order to include in the Original Filing the Part III information not previously included in the Original Filing. In addition, as required by Rule 12b-15 under the Exchange Act, Item 15 of Part IV of the Original Filing is hereby amended solely to include new certifications by our chief executive officer and chief financial officer pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 as Exhibit 31.1 to this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A.Except as stated herein, no other changes have been made to the Original Filing. The Original Filing continues to speak as of the date of the Original Filing, and, other than the information provided in Parts III and IV hereof, we have not updated the disclosures contained in the Original Filing to reflect any events which occurred at a date subsequent to the filing of the Original Filing.In this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A, the terms "we", "our", "Shopify", and the "Company" refer to Shopify Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless the context requires otherwise. References to our "solutions" means the combination of products and services that we offer to merchants, and references to "our merchants" as of a particular date means the total number of unique shops that are paying for a subscription to our platform. Words importing the singular, where the context requires, include the plural and vice versa and words importing any gender include all genders. "Board of Directors" or "Board" means the Board of Directors of Shopify. All references in this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A to "dollars", "$" and "US$" refer to United States dollars, and all references to "CAD$" refer to Canadian dollars, unless otherwise expressly stated.All references to our websites, and to our Canadian management information circular, dated April 7, 2025 and filed with the SEC on April 29, 2025, as Exhibit 99.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K (the "Circular"), contained herein do not constitute incorporation by reference of information contained on such websites and the Circular and such information should not be considered part of this document.
