ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS
On October 3, 2002, eBay Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that holders of a majority of the common stock of PayPal, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“PayPal”), approved the proposed merger (the “Merger”) of Vaquita Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, with and into PayPal. The Company also announced that the Merger was completed on October 3, 2002. As a result of the Merger, PayPal became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. In the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of PayPal common stock, par value $0.001 per share, was converted into, and became exchangeable for, 0.39 of a share (the “Exchange Ratio”) of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company. In addition, the Company assumed all options outstanding under the PayPal stock option plans, in a number adjusted to reflect the Exchange Ratio. In connection with the Merger, the Company will issue, or reserve for issuance upon exercise of options, a total of approximately 26.5 million shares of the Company's common stock. A copy of the Company’s press release is attached hereto as an Exhibit.
