("eBay" or the "Company") held on April 26, 2012 (the "2012 Annual Meeting"), the Company's stockholders, upon the recommendation of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board of Directors"), approved the amendment and restatement of the eBay Inc. 2008 Equity Incentive Award Plan (as amended, the "2008 Plan"), including an amendment to increase the aggregate number of shares authorized for issuance under the 2008 Plan by 16.5 million shares.
A brief summary of the 2008 Plan was included as part of Proposal 3 in the Company's definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 19, 2012.

At the 2012 Annual Meeting, the Company's stockholders approved amendments to
the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to
(a) declassify the Board of Directors and provide for the annual election of
directors (the "Declassification Charter Amendment") and (b) provide
stockholders who have held at least a 25% "net long position" in the Company's
outstanding common stock for at least 30 days with the right to call a special
meeting of stockholders, subject to certain notice, information and other
requirements set forth in the Company's bylaws (the "Special Meeting Charter
Amendment," and together with the Declassification Charter Amendment, the
"Charter Amendments").
The Board of Directors previously approved amendments to the Company's Amended and Restated Bylaws to (a) subject to stockholder approval of the Declassification Charter Amendment, implement the proposed declassification of the Board of Directors and (b) subject to stockholder approval of the Special Meeting Charter Amendment, allow stockholders to call a special meeting of stockholders upon receipt by the Company's Secretary of a written request from one or more stockholders of record who have continuously held at least a 25% "net long position" of the Company's outstanding common stock for at least 30 days prior to the date such request is delivered to the Company's Secretary, subject to (i) certain notice, information and other requirements set forth therein and (ii) various exceptions and timing mechanisms intended to avoid the cost and disruption that would result from multiple stockholder meetings being held in a short time period.

Certificate of Incorporation and the Company's Amended and Restated Bylaws
relating to the Declassification Charter Amendment and the Special Meeting
Charter Amendment were included as part of Proposal 5 and Proposal 6,
respectively, in eBay's definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and
