May I propose actions for
consideration at next years Annual Meeting or nominate individuals to serve as directors?
You may submit proposals for consideration at future
annual stockholder meetings. To be considered for inclusion in the proxy materials for our 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, your proposal (other than a proposal for director nomination) must be received by our Corporate Secretary at our
principal executive office no later than December 17, 2018.
Your proposal must comply with the procedures and requirements set forth in Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Your proposal should be sent via registered, certified or express mail to our Corporate Secretary at our principal executive office (2025 Hamilton Avenue,
San Jose, California 95125); no facsimile submissions will be accepted.
A stockholder proposal or a nomination for director that is received after this date will
not be included in our proxy materials, but will otherwise be considered at the 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders so long as it is submitted to our Corporate Secretary at our principal executive office no earlier than January 30, 2019 and no later
than March 1, 2019 and otherwise in accordance with our Bylaws. Our Bylaws also provide that, under certain circumstances, a stockholder or group of stockholders may include director candidates that they have nominated in the proxy materials for our
annual meetings. These proxy access provisions of our Bylaws provide, among other things, that a stockholder, or a group of up to 20 stockholders, owning 3% or more of the Companys outstanding stock continuously for at least three years, may
nominate, and include in our proxy materials for an annual meeting, two individuals to serve as directors or 20% of the Board, whichever is greater. The nominating stockholder or group of stockholders also must deliver the information required by,
and each nominee must meet the qualifications required by, our Bylaws. Requests to include stockholder-nominated candidates in the Companys proxy materials for the 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders must be received by the Corporate Secretary
at the above address no earlier than January 30, 2019 and no later than March 1, 2019. We advise you to review our Bylaws, which contain these and other requirements with respect to advance notice of stockholder proposals and director nominations
and proxy access nominations, including certain information that must be included concerning the stockholder and each proposal and nominee. Failure to comply with the requirements, procedures and deadlines in our Bylaws may preclude presentation and
consideration of the matter or nomination of the applicable candidate for election at the 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Our Bylaws were filed with the SEC on Form 8-K on March 18, 2016 and can be
viewed by visiting our investor relations website at https://investors.ebayinc.com/annuals.cfm. You may also obtain a copy by writing to our Corporate Secretary
at our principal executive office (2025 Hamilton Avenue, San Jose, California 95125).
