eBay Completes Acquisition of Skype

San Jose, Calif., October 14, 2005 eBay (Nasdaq: EBAY; www.ebay.com) today completed its previously announced acquisition of Skype, the global Internet communications company. In accordance with the terms of the acquisition agreement as announced on September 12, 2005, eBay acquired all of the outstanding shares of privately-held Skype for a total up-front consideration of approximately 2.1 billion, or approximately $2.5 billion, plus potential performance-based consideration. The up-front consideration is comprised of approximately $1.3 billion in cash and the value of 32.8 million shares of eBay stock, which are subject to certain restrictions on resale.
The maximum amount potentially payable under the performance-based earn-out is approximately 1.2 billion, or approximately $1.4 billion, and would be payable in cash or eBay stock, at eBay's discretion, with expected payment to occur in 2008 and/or 2009. Skype shareholders were offered the choice between several consideration options for their shares. Shareholders representing approximately 42% of the Skype shares ultimately chose to receive a single payment in cash and eBay stock at the close of the transaction. Shareholders representing the remaining approximate 58% of the Skype shares chose to receive a reduced up-front payment in cash and eBay stock at the close plus potential future earn-out payments which are based on performance-based goals for active users, gross profit and revenue.
