+ Google Files With SEC To Offer More Shares of GOOG
5.3 million shares of Google Class A shares to be precise. That's about $2.1 billion based on tonight's closing price. What for?

Proceeds from the offering will be used for general corporate purposes, including working capital and capital expenditures, and possible acquisitions of complementary businesses, technologies or other assets...We have no current agreements or commitments with respect to any material acquisitions. Pending such uses, we plan to invest the net proceeds in highly liquid, investment grade securities."
