CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The Board is responsible for (1) providing advice and oversight of the strategic and operational direction of the Company and (2) overseeing the Company’s executive management, each to ensure the Company operates in ways that support the long-term interest of our stockholders and the stakeholders we serve. To do this effectively, the Board has adopted clear and specific governance guidelines (“Corporate Governance Guidelines”) that, along with our Bylaws. Board committee charters and our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (“Code of Business Conduct”), provides the framework for the governance of the Company.

The following is a list of governance provisions that demonstrate eBay’s commitment to transparency and accountability:

✓	Strong Board independence (9 of 11 director nominees are independent)		✓	Clawback policy
✓	Declassified Board, with all members standing for annual election		✓	Stock ownership requirements for our executive officers and directors
✓	Majority vote standard for uncontested director elections		✓	Stockholder right to call a special meeting
✓	Separate Chair and CEO roles		✓	Stockholder proxy access
✓	Simple majority vote standard for bylaw/charter amendments and transactions		✓	Strong stockholder engagement practices
✓	Independent Chair with robust responsibilities		✓	Anti-hedging and anti-pledging policies

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines,  the charters of our principal Board committees, and our Code of Business Conduct can be found on our investor relations website at https://investors.ebayinc.com/corporate-governance.cfm. Any changes in these governance documents will be reflected in the same location on our website. Keep in mind that information contained on our investor relations website is not part of this Proxy Statement.

OUR CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES

We believe that strong corporate governance practices that provide meaningful rights to our stockholders and ensure Board accountability are key to our relationship with our stockholders. To help our stockholders understand our commitment to this relationship and our governance practices, the Board has adopted a set of Corporate Governance Guidelines to set a framework within which the Board will conduct its business. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines are summarized below along with certain other of our governance practices.

Independence

Independence. The rules of The NASDAQ Stock Market require listed companies to have a board of directors with at least a majority of independent directors. These rules have both objective tests and a subjective test for determining who is an “independent director.” The objective tests state, for example, that a director is not considered independent if he or she is an employee of the Company, or is a partner in, or a controlling stockholder or executive officer of, an entity to which the Company made, or from which the Company received, payments in the current or any of the past three fiscal years that exceed 5% of the recipient’s consolidated gross revenue for that year. The subjective test requires our Board to affirmatively determine that a director does not have a relationship that would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment in carrying out his or her responsibilities. On a quarterly basis, each member of our Board is required to complete a questionnaire designed to provide information to assist the Board in determining whether the director is independent under the listing standards of The NASDAQ Stock Market and our Corporate Governance Guidelines, and whether members of our Audit Committee and Compensation Committee satisfy additional Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and NASDAQ independence requirements. Our Board has adopted guidelines setting forth certain categories of transactions, relationships, and arrangements that it has deemed immaterial for purposes of making its determination regarding a director’s independence, and does not consider any such transactions, relationships, and arrangements in making its subjective determination.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Our Board has determined that each of the following directors is independent under the listing standards of The NASDAQ Stock Market and under eBay’s Corporate Governance Guidelines: Fred D. Anderson, Edward W. Barnholt, Anthony J. Bates, Bonnie S. Hammer, Kathleen C. Mitic, Pierre M. Omidyar, Paul S. Pressler, Thomas J. Tierney and Perry M. Traquina.

The Board limits membership on the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, and the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee to independent directors. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines require any director who has previously been determined to be independent to inform the Chairman of the Board and our Corporate Secretary of any change in his or her principal occupation or status as a member of the Board of any other public company, or any change in circumstance that may cause his or her status as an independent director to change.

Outside Advisors. The Board may retain outside advisors of its choosing at the Company’s expense without obtaining management’s consent. In addition, each of the principal committees may retain outside advisors of its choosing without obtaining either the Board’s or management’s consent.

Board of Directors

Leadership Structure. In accordance with our Bylaws, our Board elects our Chairman of the Board and our CEO. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines require that the roles of Chairman of the Board and CEO be held by separate individuals and require the appointment of a lead independent director if the Chairman of the Board is not an independent director. Mr. Tierney currently serves as our Chairman of the Board. The Board believes that the separation of the offices of the Chairman of the Board and CEO is appropriate as it aids in the Board’s oversight of management and it allows our CEO to focus primarily on his management responsibilities.

Annual Elections. All directors are elected annually. We do not have a classified board.

Attendance at Annual Meetings. Absent exigent circumstances, all directors are expected to attend eBay’s annual meeting of stockholders in person or by telephone or video call. All of our directors serving on our Board at the time of our last annual meeting of stockholders, which was held in May 2015, attended that meeting.

Executive Sessions among Independent Directors. At least several times a year, the independent directors shall meet in executive session. The Chairman of the Board leads such discussions.

Formal Closed Sessions of Outside Directors. As part of each regularly scheduled Board meeting, the outside directors have the opportunity to meet without our management or the other directors. The Chairman of the Board leads such discussions.

Board Compensation. Board compensation is determined by the Compensation Committee, and consists of a mixture of equity compensation and cash compensation. Board compensation is reviewed annually by the Compensation Committee. A more detailed description of current Board compensation can be found under the heading “Compensation of Directors” below.

Committee Responsibilities. Board committees help the Board run effectively and efficiently, but do not replace the oversight of the Board as a whole. There are currently three principal Board committees: the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, and the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee. Each committee meets regularly and has a written charter that has been approved by the Board. In addition, at each regularly scheduled Board meeting, a member of each committee reports on any significant matters addressed by the committee since the last Board meeting. Each committee performs an annual self-assessment to evaluate its effectiveness in fulfilling its obligations.

Conflicts of Interest. We expect our directors, executive officers, and other employees to conduct themselves with the highest degree of integrity, ethics, and honesty. Our credibility and reputation depend upon the good judgment, ethical standards, and personal integrity of each director, executive officer, and employee. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines prohibit directors from serving on the board, or as an officer, of another company that would create a significant conflict of interest. Our Code

8

---

Table of Contents

of Business Conduct requires that directors, executive officers, and other employees disclose actual or potential conflicts of interest and recuse themselves from related decisions. In order to better protect us and our stockholders, we regularly review our Code of Business Conduct and related policies to ensure that they provide clear guidance to our directors, executive officers, and employees.

The Company also has practices that address potential conflicts in circumstances where a non-employee director is a control person of an investment fund that desires to make an investment in or acquire a company that may compete with one of the Company’s businesses. Under those circumstances, the director is required to notify the Company’s CEO and General Counsel of the proposed transaction, and the Company’s senior management then assesses the nature and degree to which the investee company is competitive with the Company’s businesses, as well as the potential overlaps between the Company and the investee company. If the Company’s senior management determines that the competitive situation and potential overlaps between eBay and the investee company are acceptable, approval of the transaction by the Company would be conditioned upon the director agreeing to certain limitations (including refraining from joining the board of directors of the investee company or conveying any confidential or proprietary material between the Company and the investee company, abstaining from being the primary decision-maker for the investment fund with respect to the investee company, and recusing himself/herself from portions of Company board meetings that contain competitive information reasonably pertinent to the investee company). All transactions by investment funds in which a non-employee director is a control person also remain subject in all respects to the Board’s written policy for the review of related person transactions, discussed under the section entitled “Certain Transactions with Directors and Officers” below.

Board Effectiveness; Director Assessment; Board Education. It is important that the Board and its committees are performing effectively and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. The Board performs an annual self-assessment, led by the Chairman of the Board, to evaluate its effectiveness in fulfilling its obligations. As part of this annual self-assessment, directors are able to provide feedback on the performance of other directors. The Chairman of the Board then follows up on this feedback and takes such further action with directors receiving comments and other directors as needed. In addition, the Company provides membership in the National Association of Corporate Directors to all Board members to assist them in remaining current with exemplary board and committee practices and developments in corporate governance.

Succession Planning. The Board recognizes the importance of effective executive leadership to eBay’s success. We conduct a review process at least annually that includes succession plans for our senior leadership positions. These succession plans are reviewed and approved by our CEO, and details on these succession plans, including potential successors for members of our executive staff (including the CEO), are presented to the Board. In addition, the Board annually reviews and updates our CEO succession plan, which includes formal criteria for the CEO position used to evaluate potential successors and addresses the possibility of an emergency situation. In conducting this review, the Board considers, among other factors, organizational and operational needs, competitive challenges, leadership/management potential and development, and emergency situations.

The Board has also developed a set of guiding principles relating to Board membership. The Board believes that in light of the rapidly changing environment in which the Company’s businesses operate, the Board must add members with highly relevant professional experience. In addition, the Board believes that a certain amount of director turnover is to be expected and desirable, and while it does not have term limits, the Board believes that up to nine to 12 years will generally be the expected time commitment from any individual director.

Risk Oversight

Role in Risk Oversight. Risk is inherent with every business, and how well a business manages risk can ultimately determine its success. We face a number of risks, including economic, financial, legal and regulatory, operational, and other risks, such as the impact of competition. Management is responsible for the day-to-day management of the risks that we face, while the Board, as a whole and through its committees, has responsibility for the oversight of risk management. In its risk oversight role, the Board is responsible for satisfying itself that the risk management framework and supporting processes as implemented by management are adequate and functioning as designed.

Table of Contents

Audit Committee’s Role in Risk Oversight. While the Board is ultimately responsible for risk oversight at eBay, the Board has delegated to the Audit Committee the primary responsibility for the oversight of risks facing our businesses. The Audit Committee’s charter provides that it will discuss our major risk exposures, including financial, operational, privacy, security, competition, legal, and regulatory risks, and the steps we have taken to detect, monitor, and actively manage such exposures. The Audit Committee reviews with our Senior Vice President, Legal Affairs significant legal, compliance, and regulatory matters that could have a material impact on our financial statements or our business, including material notices to or inquiries received from governmental agencies. We also have embedded an enterprise risk management (“ERM”) program across our core businesses, aligned with our Company-wide initiative involving the Audit Committee, management, and other personnel. The ERM framework is designed to identify, assess, prioritize, and manage our major risk exposures which could affect our ability to execute on our corporate strategy and fulfill our business objectives. The ERM program is designed to enable the Audit Committee to establish a mutual understanding with management of the effectiveness of the Company’s risk management practices and capabilities, to review the Company’s risk exposure and risk tolerance, and to elevate certain key risks for oversight at the Board level.

Management’s Role in Risk Oversight. Our Vice President, Internal Audit, is responsible for our internal audit function and our risk governance framework, which includes risk assessment, monitoring, and reporting. The Vice President, Internal Audit reports directly to the Audit Committee, and the Audit Committee reviews and evaluates the compensation, and performance of the Vice President, Internal Audit and provides the Vice President, Internal Audit with direct access to the Audit Committee. The Vice President, Internal Audit facilitates the Audit Committee’s review and approval of the internal audit plan and provides regular reporting on audit activities. In addition, through consultation with management, the Vice President, Internal Audit periodically assesses the major risks facing eBay and coordinates with the executives responsible for such risks through the risk governance process. The Vice President, Internal Audit periodically reviews with the Audit Committee the major risks facing eBay and the steps management has taken to detect, monitor, and manage those risks within the agreed risk tolerance. The executive responsible for managing a particular risk may also report to the Audit Committee on how the risk is being managed and progress towards agreed mitigation goals.

In addition to the general oversight responsibility that has been delegated to the Audit Committee, other committees review the risks within their areas of responsibility and expertise. For example, the Compensation Committee reviews the risks associated with our compensation policies and practices and our succession planning process, and the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee reviews the risks associated with our overall corporate governance.

Risk Assessment of Compensation Policies and Practices. We have assessed the compensation policies and practices for our employees and concluded that they do not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. This analysis was presented to the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee, both of which agreed with this conclusion.

Corporate Hotline. We have established a corporate hotline that is operated by a third party and allows any employee to confidentially and anonymously (where legally permissible) lodge a complaint about any accounting, internal control, auditing, or other matters of concern.

Stockholders

Stockholder Communication. eBay has a practice of regularly engaging with stockholders to seek their feedback. Stockholders may also communicate with the Board or individual directors care of the Corporate Secretary, eBay Inc., 2065 Hamilton Avenue, San Jose, California 95125. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee has delegated responsibility for initial review of stockholder communications to our Corporate Secretary. This process assists the Board in reviewing and responding to stockholder communications in an appropriate manner. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee has instructed our Corporate Secretary to review correspondence directed to the Board and its principal committees and, at her discretion, not to forward items solely related to complaints by users with respect to ordinary course of business customer service and satisfaction issues, or that she deems to be of a commercial or frivolous nature or otherwise inappropriate for the Board’s or its committees’ consideration.

Proxy Access for Director Nominations. In March 2016, our Board adopted a “Proxy Access for Director Nominations” bylaw provision, which permits an eligible stockholder or group of up to 20 stockholders to nominate candidates for election to our Board. Proxy access candidates will be included in our proxy statement and ballot. The proxy access bylaw provision provides that holders of at least 3% of eBay common stock, which can comprise up to 20 stockholders, holding such stock continuously for at least three years, can nominate two individuals or 20% of the Board, whichever is greater, for election at an annual stockholders meeting. Our bylaws provide details regarding the time frames and procedures that must be followed and other requirements that must be met to nominate directors through this process. Prior to adopting the proxy access bylaw, our Board considered feedback from our stockholders gathered during engagement, as well as the non-binding stockholder proposal that passed at our 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Since our 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, we have engaged with stockholders representing over 15% of outstanding eBay common stock, many of whom expressed support for a nominating group limit of 20 stockholders and limiting the number of proxy access nominees to the greater of two nominees or 20% of the Board.

Special Meetings. Stockholders representing 25% or more of outstanding eBay common stock can call a special stockholders meeting.

Compensation

Stock Ownership Guidelines. Our Board has adopted stock ownership guidelines to better align the interests of our directors and executive officers with the interests of our stockholders and further promote our commitment to sound corporate governance. Under these guidelines, our executive officers are required to achieve ownership of eBay common stock valued at three times their annual base salary (five times in the case of our CEO). Our non-employee directors are required to achieve ownership of eBay common stock valued at three times the amount of the annual retainer payable to directors within three years of joining the Board, or in the case of directors serving at the time the guidelines were initially adopted, within three years of the date of adoption of the guidelines. Our stock ownership guidelines can be found on our investor relations website at https://investors.ebayinc.com/corporate-governance.cfm.

The ownership levels of our executive officers and directors as of March 18, 2016 are set forth in the section entitled “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” below.

Hedging and Pledging Policy. The Company’s insider trading policy prohibits directors, executive officers, and other employees from entering into any hedging or monetization transactions relating to our securities or otherwise trading in any instrument relating to the future price of our securities, such as a put or call option, futures contract, short sale, collar, or other derivative security. The policy also prohibits directors and executive officers from pledging eBay common stock as collateral for any loans.

Clawbacks. In 2012, we implemented changes to the eBay Incentive Plan and the Company’s equity incentive plans to provide that awards made under those plans are subject to a clawback provision. In January 2014, the terms of the clawback were adopted by the Compensation Committee subject to amendment to comply with the SEC rules to be issued in accordance with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, or the Dodd-Frank Act.

Auditor Independence

We have taken a number of steps to ensure continued independence of our outside auditors. Our independent auditors report directly to the Audit Committee, and we limit the use of our auditors for non-audit services. The fees for services provided by our auditors in 2015 and 2014 and our policy on pre-approval of non-audit services are described under “Proposal 4 — Ratification of Appointment of Independent Auditors” below.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

BOARD COMMITTEES AND MEETINGS

During 2015, our Board held eight meetings, and each Board member attended at least 75% of the aggregate of all of the Board meetings and committee meetings for committees on which such director served. The Board has three principal committees: the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, and the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee.

Audit Committee

Our Board has a separately-designated standing Audit Committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Our Audit Committee consists of Mr. Anderson, Mr. Pressler and Mr. Traquina, each of whom is independent in accordance with the listing standards of The NASDAQ Stock Market and the rules and regulations of the SEC. Mr. Anderson is the chair of the Audit Committee. Mr. Traquina joined the Audit Committee in July 2015. Ms. Hammer was a member of the Audit Committee for a portion of the year from July 2015 through September 2015. David M. Moffett and Richard T. Schlosberg resigned from the Audit Committee in conjunction with their resignations from the Board in connection with the Spin-Off. Our Board has determined that Mr. Anderson is an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by the SEC. The Audit Committee met thirteen times during 2015. The primary responsibilities of the Audit Committee are to:

(1)	Meet with our independent auditors to review the results of the annual audit and to discuss our financial statements, including the independent auditors’ judgment about the quality of accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments, the clarity of the disclosures in our financial statements, our internal control over financial reporting, and management’s report with respect to internal control over financial reporting;
(2)	Meet with our independent auditors to review the interim financial statements prior to the filing of our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q;
(3)	Decide whether to appoint, retain or terminate our independent auditors, including the sole authority to approve all audit engagement fees and terms;
(4)	Oversee the independence of the independent auditors, evaluate the independent auditors’ performance, and review and approve the fees of the independent auditors; and
(5)	Receive and consider the independent auditors’ comments as to controls, adequacy of staff, and management performance and procedures in connection with audit and financial controls, including our system to monitor and manage business risks and our legal and ethical compliance programs.

Additionally, the Audit Committee approves the compensation of our Vice President, Internal Audit, who meets with the Audit Committee regularly without other members of management present. The Audit Committee also has primary responsibility for the oversight of risks facing our business. See “Corporate Governance – Our Corporate Governance Practices – Risk Oversight – Audit Committee’s Role in Risk Oversight.”

The Audit Committee also prepares the Audit Committee Report for inclusion in our Proxy Statement, approves audit and non-audit services provided to us by our independent auditors, considers conflicts of interest and reviews all transactions with related persons involving executive officers or Board members that are reasonably expected to exceed specified thresholds, and meets with our Senior Vice President, Legal Affairs, to discuss our major risk exposures, including financial, operational, privacy, security, competition, legal, and regulatory risks, and the steps we have taken to detect, monitor and actively manage such exposures and reviews with our Senior Vice President, Legal Affairs, General Counsel and Secretary significant legal, compliance, and regulatory matters that could have a material impact on our financial statements or our business, including material notices to or inquiries received from governmental agencies. You can view our Audit Committee Charter on the corporate governance section of our investor relations website at https://investors.ebayinc.com/corporate-governance.cfm.

Compensation Committee

Our Compensation Committee consists of Mr. Barnholt, Mr. Bates, Ms. Hammer, Ms. Mitic, and Mr. Tierney, each of whom is independent in accordance with the rules and regulations of The NASDAQ Stock Market, the Exchange Act and Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. Mr. Barnholt is the chair of the Compensation Committee. Mr. Bates joined the Compensation

Table of Contents

Committee in July 2015 and Ms. Hammer joined the Compensation Committee in September 2015. David W. Dorman resigned from the Compensation Committee in conjunction with his resignation from the Board in connection with the Spin-Off. William C. Ford Jr. resigned from the Compensation Committee in conjunction with his resignation from the Board in May 2015. The Compensation Committee met nine times during 2015. The primary responsibilities of the Compensation Committee are to:

(1)	Review and approve all compensation programs applicable to directors and executive officers, the overall strategy for employee compensation, and the compensation of our CEO and our other executive officers;
(2)	Oversee and monitor compliance with the Company’s stock ownership guidelines applicable to directors and executive officers;
(3)	Review the Compensation Discussion and Analysis contained in our Proxy Statement and prepare the Compensation Committee Report for inclusion in our Proxy Statement; and
(4)	Review and consider the results of any advisory stockholder votes on executive compensation.

Additionally, the Compensation Committee assesses on an annual basis the independence of its compensation consultants, outside legal counsel, and other compensation advisers. The Compensation Committee Charter permits the Compensation Committee to, in its discretion, delegate all or a portion of its duties and responsibilities to a subcommittee of the Compensation Committee. You can view our Compensation Committee Charter on the corporate governance section of our investor relations website at https://investors.ebayinc.com/corporate-governance.cfm. Additional disclosure regarding the role of the Compensation Committee in compensation matters, including the role of consultants in compensation decisions, can be found under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis — Compensation Decisions for 2015” and “Further Considerations For Setting Executive Compensation — Role of Consultants in Compensation Decisions” below.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation. All members of the Compensation Committee during 2015 were independent directors, and no member was an employee or former employee of eBay. No Compensation Committee member had any relationship requiring disclosure under Item 404 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC. During 2015, none of our executive officers served on the Compensation Committee (or its equivalent) or board of directors of another entity whose executive officer served on our Compensation Committee or Board.

Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee

Our Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee consists of Ms. Mitic, Mr. Pressler, Mr. Tierney and Mr. Traquina. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee met four times during 2015. All members of our Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee are independent under the listing standards of The NASDAQ Stock Market. Ms. Mitic replaced Mr. Tierney as the chair of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee in July 2015. Mr. Traquina joined the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee in July 2015 following the Spin-Off and Mr. Cook and Mr. Schlosberg resigned from the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee in conjunction with their resignations from the Board in connection with the Spin-Off. The primary responsibilities of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee include:

(1)	Making recommendations to the Board as to the appropriate size of the Board or any Board committee;
(2)	Reviewing the qualifications of candidates for the Board; and
(3)	Making recommendations to the Board on potential Board and Board committee members (whether as a result of vacancies, including any vacancy created by an increase in the size of the Board, or as part of the annual election cycle).

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee considers nominee recommendations from a variety of sources, including nominees recommended by stockholders. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee has from time to time retained an executive search firm to help facilitate the screening and interview process of director nominees. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee expects that qualified candidates will have high-level managerial experience in a relatively complex organization or be accustomed to dealing with complex problems, and will be able to represent the interests of the stockholders as a whole rather than special interest groups or constituencies.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Among other factors, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee considers each candidate relative to the following attributes:

Character;

Integrity;

Judgment;

Skills;

Background;

Experience of particular relevance to the Company;

Ability to work with others to solve complex problems; and

Availability and willingness to devote sufficient time to Board activities.

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee also considers the interplay of a candidate’s background and expertise with that of other Board members, and the extent to which a candidate may be a desirable addition to any committee of the Board. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee also values diversity as a factor in selecting nominees to serve on the Board. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee should consider diversity (including gender and race), age, international background, and expertise in evaluating potential board members. When searching for new directors, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee actively seeks out qualified women and individuals from minority groups to include in the pool from which Board nominees are chosen. Finally, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee also takes into account the set of guiding principles relating to Board membership described in “Our Corporate Governance Practices — Succession Planning” above.

In addition to recommending director candidates, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee establishes procedures for the oversight and evaluation of the Board and management, reviews correspondence received from stockholders, and reviews on an annual basis our Corporate Governance Guidelines.

CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS WITH DIRECTORS
AND OFFICERS

Our Audit Committee reviews and approves the Code of Business Conduct, which applies to our directors, officers and employees, and reviews our programs that are designed to ensure compliance with the Code of Business Conduct. The Audit Committee also reviews and approves all transactions with related persons that are required to be disclosed in this section of our Proxy Statement. The charter of our Audit Committee and our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics may be found on our investor relations website at https://investors.ebayinc.com/corporate-governance.cfm.

Our Board has adopted a written policy for the review of related person transactions. For purposes of the policy, a related person transaction includes transactions in which (1) the amount involved is more than $120,000, (2) eBay is a participant, and (3) any related person has a direct or indirect material interest. The policy defines a “related person” to include directors, nominees for director, executive officers, beneficial holders of more than 5 percent of eBay’s outstanding common stock and their respective family members. Pursuant to the policy, all related person transactions must be approved by the Audit Committee or, in the event of an inadvertent failure to bring the transaction to the Audit Committee for pre-approval, ratified by the Audit Committee. In the event that a member of the Audit Committee has an interest in a related person transaction, the transaction must be approved or ratified by the disinterested members of the Audit Committee. In deciding whether to approve or ratify a related person transaction, the Audit Committee will consider the following factors:

Whether the terms of the transaction are (a) fair to eBay and (b) at least as favorable to eBay as would apply if the transaction did not involve a related person;

Whether there are demonstrable business reasons for eBay to enter into the transaction;

Whether the transaction would impair the independence of an outside director under eBay’s director independence standards; and

Whether the transaction would present an improper conflict of interest for any director or executive officer, taking into account the size of the transaction, the overall financial position of the related person, the direct or indirect nature of the related person’s interest in the transaction and the ongoing nature of any proposed relationship, and any other factors the Audit Committee deems relevant.

We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers. These agreements require us to indemnify such individuals, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, for certain liabilities to which they may become subject as a result of their affiliation with eBay.

On January 21, 2015, we entered into a nomination and standstill agreement with Carl C. Icahn, High River Limited Partnership, Icahn Partners Master Fund LP, Icahn Partners LP and certain of their affiliates (collectively, the “Icahn Group”) pursuant to which we expanded our Board from 14 to 17 and, in March 2015, appointed Mr. Christodoro, Managing Director of Icahn Capital LP, to fill one of the resulting vacancies. Mr. Christodoro resigned from our Board and became a member of the PayPal Board in connection with the Spin-Off. A full description of the January 21, 2015 agreement with the Icahn Group is included in our Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 23, 2015. Pursuant to a filing with the SEC on November 16, 2015, the Icahn Group has disposed of all shares of eBay common stock held by it previously held and has ceased to be a related person.

Since the beginning of 2015, there were no other related person transactions, and there are not currently any proposed related person transactions, that would require disclosure under SEC rules.

PROPOSALS REQUIRING YOUR VOTE

PROPOSAL 1 — ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

At the 2016 Annual Meeting, 11 directors will be elected to serve for a one-year term until our 2017 Annual Meeting and until their successors are elected and qualified.

Our Board is currently composed of 11 members, 9 of whom are currently independent directors within the meaning of the listing standards of The NASDAQ Stock Market. Messrs. Swan and Wenig each joined the Board in July 2015 and Mr. Pressler joined the Board in September 2015.

The term of office of each of the nominees standing for election at the Annual Meeting expires at the upcoming Annual Meeting. All of the nominees are currently members of the Board and each of the nominees except Messrs. Pressler, Swan and Wenig has been previously elected by the stockholders. Each of the nominees has consented to serving as a nominee and being named as a nominee in this Proxy Statement and to serving as a director if elected. If elected at the Annual Meeting, each of the nominees will serve a one-year term until our 2017 Annual Meeting and until his or her successor is elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation, or removal.

Majority Vote Standard for Election of Directors. Our Bylaws provide that in the event of an uncontested election, each director shall be elected by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast with respect to such director—i.e., the numbers of shares voted “FOR” a director nominee must exceed the number of votes cast “AGAINST” that nominee. “ABSTAIN” votes will be counted as present for purposes of this vote but are not counted as votes cast. Broker non-votes will not be counted as present and are not entitled to vote on the proposal.

Director Resignation Policy for Uncontested Elections. If a nominee who is serving as a director (an “Incumbent Director”) fails to receive the required number of votes for re-election in accordance with our Bylaws in an uncontested election, under Delaware law the Incumbent Director would continue to serve on the Board as a “holdover director” until his or her successor is elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier resignation or removal pursuant to our Bylaws. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that, in considering whether to nominate any Incumbent Director for re-election, the Board will take into account whether the Incumbent Director has tendered an irrevocable resignation that is effective upon the Board’s acceptance of such resignation in the event the director fails to receive the required vote to be re-elected, as described above. All of our Incumbent Directors have tendered an irrevocable resignation. In the case of a proposed nominee who is not an Incumbent Director, the Board will take into account whether he or she has agreed to tender such a resignation prior to being nominated for re-election.

In the case of an uncontested election, if a nominee who is an Incumbent Director does not receive the required vote for re-election, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee or another committee of the Board will decide whether to accept or reject such director’s resignation (if the director has tendered such a resignation), or whether to take other action, within 90 days after the date of the certification of the election results (subject to an additional 90-day period in certain circumstances). In reaching its decision, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee will review factors it deems relevant, which may include any stated reasons for “AGAINST” votes, whether the underlying cause or causes of the “AGAINST” votes are curable, criteria considered by the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee in evaluating potential candidates for the Board, the length of service of the director, the size and holding period of such director’s stock ownership in the Company, and the director’s contributions to the Company. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee’s decision will be publicly disclosed in a filing with the SEC. If a nominee who was not already serving as a director fails to receive the required votes to be elected at the Annual Meeting, he or she will not become a member of the Board. All of the director nominees are currently serving on the Board and each director nominee has submitted an irrevocable resignation of the type described above.

Background to the Board’s Recommendation in Favor of eBay’s Nominees.

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee considers a number of factors and principles in determining the slate of director nominees for election to the Company’s Board that it recommends to the Board, as discussed in the section titled “Corporate Governance – Board and Committees and Meetings – Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee,” above. In particular, the Board considers the following factors and principles to evaluate and select nominees:

The Board should be composed of directors chosen on the basis of their character, integrity, judgment, skills, background, and experience of particular relevance to the Company.

Directors should have high-level managerial experience in a relatively complex organization or be accustomed to dealing with complex problems.

Directors should also represent the interests of the stockholders as a whole, rather than special interest groups or constituencies.

Each director should be an individual of the highest character and integrity, with the ability to work well with others and with sufficient time available to devote to the affairs of the Company in order to carry out the responsibilities of a director.

In addressing the overall composition of the Board, characteristics such as diversity (including gender and race), age, international background, and expertise should be considered.

The Board should be composed of directors who are highly engaged with our business.

The Board should include individuals with highly relevant professional experience.

eBay’s Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and Board have evaluated each of the director nominees against the factors and principles eBay uses to select director nominees. Based on this evaluation, our Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and the Board have concluded that it is in the best interests of eBay and its stockholders for each of the proposed nominees listed below to serve as a director of eBay. The Board believes that all of these nominees have a strong track record of being responsible stewards of stockholders’ interests and bring extraordinarily valuable insight, perspective and expertise to the Board. Additional reasons that the Board recommends supporting the election of the director nominees include:

All of the nominees have high-level managerial experience in relatively complex organizations.

Each nominee has highly relevant professional experience in the management, technology and innovation fields.

Each nominee is highly engaged and able to commit the time and resources needed to provide active oversight of eBay and its management. None of the nominees sits on the boards of more than three other public companies, and each of our directors attended at least 75% of the aggregate of all of our Board meetings and committee meetings for committees on which such director served during 2015.

The Board believes each nominee is an individual of high character and integrity and is able to contribute to strong board dynamics.

Each of these nominees has experience and expertise that complement the skill sets of the other nominees.

In addition to these attributes, in each individual’s biography set forth below, we have highlighted specific experience, qualifications, and skills that led the Board to conclude that each individual should serve as a director of eBay.

PROPOSAL 2 — ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION

We are asking stockholders to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers as described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the compensation tables, and related narrative discussion included in this proxy statement.

As discussed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the Compensation Committee of the Board is committed to an executive compensation program that serves the long-term interests of our stockholders. We believe that attracting and retaining superior talent — supported by a competitive compensation program that is highly performance-based — is key to delivering long-term stockholder returns.

Our executive compensation program is designed to:

Align compensation with our business objectives, performance and stockholder feedback;

Motivate our executive officers to enhance long-term stockholder value;

Position us competitively among the companies against which we recruit and compete for talent; and

Enable us to attract, retain, and reward executive officers and other key employees who contribute to our long-term success.

To achieve these objectives, our executive compensation program has three principal components: long-term equity compensation, an annual cash incentive, and base salary. The Compensation Committee seeks to have our named executive officers’ total compensation heavily weighted to variable, performance-based compensation by delivering a majority of compensation in the form of performance-based restricted stock units (“PBRSUs”), stock options, and annual cash incentives. PBRSUs are granted based on two-year financial performance. Under our annual cash incentive plan, 75% of each named executive officer’s target bonus for 2015 was based on Company financial performance with the remaining 25% based on individual performance; there is no payout for individual performance unless thresholds for Company performance are met. In 2015, we also granted time-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”), and stock options, the value of which depends on the performance of the Company’s stock.

The Compensation Committee believes that the goals of our executive compensation program are appropriate and that the program is properly structured to achieve those goals. We have engaged in ongoing discussions with our investors, who generally support those goals and the program, and we believe our stockholders as a whole should support them as well.

We are asking our stockholders to indicate their support for the compensation of our named executive officers as described in this Proxy Statement. This proposal, commonly known as a “say-on-pay” proposal, gives our stockholders the opportunity to express their views on the compensation of our named executive officers. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our named executive officers and the philosophy, policies, and practices described in this Proxy Statement. Accordingly, we ask our stockholders to vote “FOR” the following resolution at the Annual Meeting:

“RESOLVED, that the Company’s stockholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the named executive officers, as disclosed in the Company’s Proxy Statement for the 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the 2015 Summary Compensation Table, and the other related tables and disclosures.”

The say-on-pay vote is advisory, and therefore not binding on the Company, the Board, or the Compensation Committee. The Board and the Compensation Committee value the opinions of our stockholders and will take into account the outcome of this vote in considering future compensation arrangements.

The Board of Directors Recommends a Vote FOR Proposal 2.

PROPOSAL 3 — APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT OF OUR 2008 EQUITY INCENTIVE AWARD PLAN

Summary of Amendment and Restatement

We are asking you to approve the amendment and restatement of our 2008 Equity Incentive Award Plan (“2008 Plan”). The purposes of amending and restating the 2008 Plan are to:

●	increase the number of shares available for future issuance under the 2008 Plan by an additional 50,000,000 shares;
●	include a limit on the annual value of awards granted to non-employee directors; and a requirement that stockholder approval must be obtained in order to change this limit;
●	modify the minimum vesting provision under the 2008 Plan, such that the number of shares subject to full value awards that vest earlier than one year after the date of grant will not exceed 5% of the aggregate number of shares available under the 2008 Plan as of the date of the amendment and restatement; and
●	extend the term of the 2008 Plan to the tenth anniversary of stockholder approval of the amendment and restatement of the 2008 Plan.

On March 15, 2016, at the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, the Board adopted the amendment and restatement of the 2008 Plan subject to the approval of our stockholders.

Rationale for the Share Increase

The Board recommends that the Company’s stockholders approve the proposed amendment and restatement of the 2008 Plan to allow us to continue to grant a variety of equity awards. Equity compensation is an integral component of employee compensation in our industry, not only for executive officers but also for a wide cross-section of our employee population. The technology industry is a vibrant sector with an active and mobile talent pool. We utilize equity compensation as an essential compensation tool to attract, motivate, and retain highly talented employees at all levels while actively competing in a dynamic marketplace.

We believe equity has proven to be a highly valuable tool to (1) help attract and retain our employees, non-employee directors, and consultants, (2) closely align award recipients’ interests with our stockholders, and (3) motivate them to increase stockholder value by contributing to the long-term growth and success of our Company.

The Compensation Committee and the Board carefully manage the equity awards and share usage under our equity plans. In addition, the Company actively manages dilution from equity award grants and regularly conducts stock repurchases to limit the dilutive impact of our equity plans upon our stockholders. The requested increase and plan modifications are intended to provide the Company with a moderate pool to fund equity awards for approximately two years, which is aligned with our historical practice. As of March 18, 2016, 64,108,340 shares are available for future grants under the 2008 Plan. We annually grant ongoing awards to approximately 60% of our employees in April of each year as part of our long-term incentive compensation structure and also make grants to certain newly hired employees monthly (“Focal and New Hire Grant Programs”), which will reduce the share reserve as of the annual meeting date. Based on forecasted share usage for our Focal and New Hire Grant Programs, we expect approximately 42,769,489 shares to be available under the 2008 Plan as of the annual meeting date. This additional share request is expected to allow the Company to continue its Focal and New Hire Grant Programs and other regular course grants (such as grants associated with mergers and acquisitions) for the next two years without interruption.

Assuming stockholder approval of the proposed amendment and restatement of the 2008 Plan, we estimate 92,769,489 shares will be available for future grant following the annual meeting and anticipate seeking stockholder approval of a subsequent share increase in 2018.

PROPOSALS REQUIRING YOUR VOTE

Key Features of the Plan

The amended and restated 2008 Plan includes a number of provisions designed to serve stockholders’ interests and facilitate effective corporate governance, including the following:

Limitation on Reuse of Shares. Shares that are delivered to, or withheld by, the Company under an award may not be reissued under the 2008 Plan. Specifically, shares may be delivered or withheld in connection with the exercise of stock options, the settlement of stock appreciation rights or the payment of required withholding taxes; in these circumstances, the shares delivered or withheld will not be available for new grants under the 2008 Plan.

No Repricing or Granting of Discounted Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights. The 2008 Plan does not permit, without stockholder approval, the repricing of options or stock appreciation rights either by amending an existing award or by substituting a new award at a lower price. The 2008 Plan also prohibits the granting of stock options or stock appreciation rights with an exercise price that is less than the fair market value of eBay stock on the date of grant.

No “Evergreen” Provision. The 2008 Plan fixes the number of shares available for future grants and does not provide for any increase based on increases in the number of outstanding shares of common stock.

Clawback. The awards made under the 2008 Plan are subject to clawback, forfeiture, or recovery by the Company pursuant to the terms of the applicable award agreement and the Company’s clawback and recoupment policies, including without limitation, any policy which the Company has adopted to comply with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.

Deductibility of Awards. The 2008 Plan includes provisions that are intended to meet the requirements for deductibility of certain types of awards under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, or the Code, including by qualifying such awards under the 2008 Plan as “performance-based compensation.”

Plan Administration. The 2008 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee, which is composed entirely of “nonemployee directors,” as that term is defined in Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, “outside directors,” as that term is defined in Section 162(m) of the Code, and “independent directors” within the meaning of the Nasdaq independence requirements.

Limitation on Awards to Any One Individual. The number of shares that may be subject to awards granted to any one individual during any calendar year is limited to two million. The amount of cash that may be paid during any calendar year to any one individual with respect to performance-based awards (including performance bonus awards) is limited to $3 million.

Limitation on Awards to Non-Employee Directors. The aggregate amount of awards that may be granted annually to a non-employee director, is limited to $600,000, except that: (i) the limit is multiplied by two in the year in which a non-employee director commences service on the Board, and (ii) the limit does not apply to awards made pursuant to an election to receive an award in lieu of a cash retainer for Board service. This annual limit may not be changed without stockholder approval.

Share Count. The 2008 Plan counts awards against the available plan reserve based on ratios tied to the expected value of the award, with full value awards counting as one share for each share subject to the award, and options and stock appreciation rights counting as 0.5587 shares for each share subject to the award. “Full value awards” are defined as awards denominated in shares of eBay’s common stock other than stock options and stock appreciation rights. This 0.5587 ratio, which has been used in respect of awards granted as stock options and stock appreciation rights under the 2008 Plan since April 26, 2012, equates to approximately one full value award equaling 1.79 options and will not change in connection with the proposed amendment and restatement of the 2008 Plan.

Our Equity Plans

The following table sets forth information regarding our outstanding equity awards as of March 18, 2016 under our existing equity compensation plans, including our 2008 Plan, as well as shares of our common stock that may be issued upon the exercise of outstanding options under our terminated equity compensation plans, or the terminated plans. Awards assumed in connection with our prior acquisitions of other businesses are also included in this table. We collectively refer to all of the foregoing plans as our Equity Compensation Plans. No warrants are outstanding under any of our Equity Compensation Plans.

RSUs and DSUs each represent an unfunded, unsecured right to receive shares of eBay common stock (or, with respect to DSUs granted prior to August 1, 2013, the equivalent value thereof in cash or property). The value of RSUs and DSUs varies directly with the price of our common stock. Does not include the allocated 2015/2016 target PBRSU awards.

As of December 31, 2015, the options under these plans had a weighted average exercise price of $2.5943 per share. We cannot make subsequent grants or awards of our equity securities under these plans.

Summary of Plan Terms

The following is a summary of the key provisions of the 2008 Plan, as amended and restated subject to stockholder approval. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the proposed amended and restated 2008 Plan, which is attached to this proxy statement as Appendix A.

Administration

The Compensation Committee has the exclusive authority to administer the 2008 Plan, including the power to determine eligibility, the types and sizes of awards, the price and timing of awards, the acceleration or waiver of any vesting restriction, and the authority to delegate such administrative responsibilities.

30

---

Table of Contents

The Compensation Committee may delegate to a committee of one or more of our directors or one or more of our officers the authority to grant or amend awards to participants other than our senior executives who are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act or employees who are “covered employees” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code. Pursuant to this provision, our Compensation Committee’s current practice is to delegate to our Chief Executive Officer the authority to determine and make most of the individual grants to our employees below the level of Senior Vice President within guidelines approved by the Compensation Committee. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, the Compensation Committee shall consist solely of two or more members of the Board, each of whom is an “outside director” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, a non-employee director, and an “independent director” under the rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) (or other principal securities market on which shares of our common stock are traded).

Eligibility

Employees of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates (approximately 12,000 individuals) as determined by the Compensation Committee, all non-employee members of our Board (10 individuals), and consultants are eligible to participate in the 2008 Plan. Mr. Omidyar has not received any grants under the 2008 Plan. As of March 18, 2016, the closing price of our common stock on Nasdaq was $23.77 per share.

Limitation on Awards and Shares Available

Subject to stockholder approval of the proposed amendment and restatement of the 2008 Plan, an aggregate of 183.6 million shares of common stock are authorized for issuance pursuant to the 2008 Plan, of which 114.1 million shares remain eligible for future issuance as of March 18, 2016 (this amount will be reduced due to regular course grants by the year’s Annual Meeting). The shares of common stock covered by the 2008 Plan may be treasury shares, authorized but unissued shares, or shares purchased in the open market.

The 2008 Plan counts awards against the available plan reserve based on ratios tied to the expected value of the award, with full value awards counting as one share for each share granted, and options and stock appreciation rights counting as 0.5587 shares for each option or stock appreciation right granted. This 0.5587 ratio, which has been used in respect of awards granted under the 2008 Plan since April 26, 2012, equates to approximately one full value award equaling 1.79 options, and will not change in connection with the proposed amendment and restatement of the 2008 Plan.

To the extent an award granted under the 2008 Plan terminates, expires, or lapses for any reason or is settled in cash without delivery of shares to the participant, any shares subject to that award may be used again for new grants under the 2008 Plan, pursuant to the terms of the 2008 Plan. However, any shares that are tendered or withheld to satisfy the grant, exercise price, or tax withholding obligation pursuant to any award may not be used again for new grants under the 2008 Plan. In connection with the separation of PayPal, shares subject to awards that were cancelled under the 2008 Plan and assumed under the PayPal Holdings, Inc. 2015 Equity Incentive Award Plan became available for new grants under the 2008 Plan.

To the extent permitted by applicable law or any exchange rule, shares issued in the assumption of, or in the substitution for, any outstanding awards of any entity acquired in any form of combination by us or any of our subsidiaries or affiliates will not be counted against shares available for issuance under the 2008 Plan. The payment of cash dividend equivalents in conjunction with outstanding awards will not be counted against the shares available for issuance under the 2008 Plan.

The maximum number of shares of our common stock that may be subject to one or more awards granted to any one participant pursuant to the 2008 Plan during any calendar year is two million shares (with options and stock appreciation rights counting as 0.5587 shares for each option or stock appreciation right granted), and the maximum amount that may be paid in cash to any participant during any calendar year with respect to performance bonus awards is $3 million.

The aggregate amount of awards that may be granted annually to non-employee directors, other than awards granted in lieu of cash retainers, is limited to $600,000, except that this limit is multiplied by two in the year the non-employee director’s service on the Board commences. This annual limit may not be changed without stockholder approval.

Awards

The 2008 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, RSUs, PBRSUs, stock appreciation rights, performance shares, performance stock units, dividend equivalents, stock payments, DSUs, other stock-based awards, and performance-bonus awards. See the description under the “Prior Grants Under the 2008 Plan” heading below and the Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table below for information on prior awards to our named executive officers identified in those tables.

Stock Options. Although, beginning in 2016, a determination was made to cease granting stock options as part of our regular course grant programs, stock options, including incentive stock options as defined under Section 422 of the Code and nonqualified stock options, may be granted pursuant to the 2008 Plan. The option exercise price of all stock options granted pursuant to the 2008 Plan will not be less than 100% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. Stock options may be exercised as determined by the Compensation Committee, but in no event may a stock option have a term extending beyond ten years from the date of grant.

Although we do not currently grant any incentive stock options and do not currently intend to do so, to preserve maximum flexibility, the 2008 Plan allows us to grant incentive stock options. Incentive stock options granted to any person who owns, as of the date of grant, stock possessing more than ten percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of our stock, however, shall have an exercise price that is not less than 110% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant and may not have a term extending beyond the fifth anniversary of the date of grant. The aggregate fair market value of the shares with respect to which options intended to be incentive stock options are exercisable for the first time by an employee in any calendar year may not exceed $100,000, or such other amount as the Code provides.

The Compensation Committee determines the methods by which an option holder may pay the exercise price of an option or the related taxes, including, without limitation: (1) cash, (2) shares of common stock (including, in the case of payment of the exercise price of an award, shares of stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of the award) having a fair market value on the date of delivery equal to the aggregate payments required, or (3) other property acceptable to the Compensation Committee (including through the delivery of a notice that the award holder has placed a market sell order with a broker with respect to shares of common stock then issuable upon exercise or vesting of an award, and that the broker has been directed to pay a sufficient portion of the net proceeds of the sale to us in satisfaction of the aggregate payments required; provided that payment of such proceeds is then made to us upon settlement of that sale). However, no participant who is a member of the Board or an “executive officer” of the Company within the meaning of Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act will be permitted to pay the exercise price of an option in any method which would violate the prohibitions on loans made or arranged by us as set forth in Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act.

Time-Based Restricted Stock Units. RSUs may be granted pursuant to the 2008 Plan. An RSU award provides for the issuance of common stock at a future date subject to continuing employment as set forth in the applicable award agreement. The vesting and maturity dates will be established at the time of grant and may provide for the deferral of receipt of the common stock beyond the vesting date. On the maturity date, we will transfer to the participant one unrestricted, fully transferable share of common stock for each RSU scheduled to be paid out on such date and not previously forfeited (subject to applicable tax withholding requirements).

Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units. PBRSUs may be granted pursuant to the 2008 Plan. A PBRSU award provides for the issuance of common stock at a future date upon the satisfaction of specific performance conditions as set forth in the applicable award agreement. The vesting and maturity dates will be established at the time of grant and may provide for the deferral of receipt of the common stock beyond the vesting date. On the maturity date, we will transfer to the participant one unrestricted, fully transferable share of common stock for each PBRSU scheduled to be paid out on such date and not previously forfeited (subject to applicable tax withholding requirements).

Restricted Stock. Restricted stock may be granted pursuant to the 2008 Plan. A restricted stock award is the grant of shares of common stock at a price determined by the Compensation Committee (including zero), that is nontransferable and may be subject to substantial risk of forfeiture until specific conditions are met. Conditions may be based on continuing employment or achieving performance goals. During the period of restriction, participants holding shares of restricted stock may have full voting and dividend rights with respect to such shares. The restrictions will lapse in accordance with a schedule or other conditions determined by the Compensation Committee.

Additional Awards. The other types of equity awards that may be granted under the 2008 Plan include performance share units, performance shares, DSUs, dividend equivalents, stock appreciation rights (with a term of up to ten years from the date of grant), and other stock-based awards.

Performance Bonus Awards. Performance bonus awards may be granted pursuant to the 2008 Plan. Performance bonus awards are cash bonuses payable upon the attainment of pre-established performance goals based on established performance criteria and are intended to be performance-based awards within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code. The goals are established and evaluated by the Compensation Committee and may relate to performance over any periods as determined by the Compensation Committee.

Performance-Based Awards. The following is a brief discussion of the requirements for awards, including performance bonus awards, to be treated as performance-based awards within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code.

The Compensation Committee may grant awards to employees who are or may be “covered employees,” as defined in Section 162(m) of the Code, that are intended to be performance-based awards within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code in order to preserve the deductibility of these awards for federal income tax purposes. Under the 2008 Plan, these performance-based awards may be either equity awards or performance bonus awards. Participants are entitled to receive payment for a performance-based award for any given performance period only to the extent that pre-established performance goals set by the Compensation Committee for the period are satisfied.

These pre-established performance goals are based on one or more of the following types of performance criteria:

●	volume criteria (including trading volume, gross merchandise volume, and total payment volume)
●	users
●	revenue
●	income criteria (including operating income, EBITDA, net earnings (either before or after interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization), net income (either before or after taxes), earnings per share, and earnings using a non-GAAP measurement)
●	multiples of price-to-earnings
●	multiples of price-to-earnings to growth
●	return criteria (including return on net assets, return on gross assets, return on equity, return on invested capital, stock price appreciation, and total shareholder return)
●	stock price
●	margin criteria (including net margins and operating margins)
●	economic profit
●	employee productivity
●	customer satisfaction metrics
●	market share
●	employee engagement/satisfaction metrics

Any of the above criteria may be measured with respect to us, or any subsidiary, affiliate, or other business unit of ours, either in absolute terms, terms of growth, or as compared to any incremental increase, as compared to results of a peer group and either in accordance with, or not in accordance with, GAAP. The Compensation Committee defines in an objective fashion the manner of calculating the performance criteria it selects to use for such awards. With regard to a particular performance period, the Compensation Committee will have the discretion to select the length of the performance period, the type of performance-based awards to be granted, and the goals that will be used to measure the performance for the period. In determining the actual size of an individual performance-based award for a performance period, the Compensation Committee may reduce or eliminate (but not increase) the initial award. Performance-based awards are subject to the annual per-person limits described above in “Limitation on Awards and Shares Available.” Unless otherwise provided in an award agreement, a participant will have to be employed by or providing services to the Company on the date the performance-based award is paid to be eligible for a performance-based award for any period. Stockholder approval of the proposed amendment and restatement of the 2008 Plan will also be considered approval of the material terms of the performance measures under the 2008 Plan, as described above.

Prohibition on Repricing

Except for adjustments described below in “Adjustment Provisions,” the Compensation Committee will not, without stockholder approval, authorize the amendment of any outstanding award to reduce its purchase price per share, the replacement or substitution of any award for an award having a lesser purchase price per share, or an offer to purchase any previously granted option or stock appreciation right for a payment in cash.

Vesting Limitations on Full Value Awards

Subject to the acceleration of vesting as permitted under the terms of the 2008 Plan or the applicable award agreement, including upon a change in control, full value awards (i.e. stock awards other than stock options and stock appreciation rights) that are granted to employees or consultants will become vested on one or more vesting dates over a period of at least one year, except that awards that result in the issuance to one or more participants of up to 5% of the aggregate number of shares available under the 2008 Plan, as of the date of the amendment and restatement of the 2008 Plan, may be granted without regard to this minimum vesting requirement.

Adjustment Provisions

Certain transactions with our stockholders not involving our receipt of consideration, such as a stock split, spin-off, stock dividend, or certain recapitalizations, may affect the share price of our common stock (which transactions are referred to collectively as “equity restructurings”). In the event that an equity restructuring occurs, the Board will equitably adjust the class of shares issuable and the maximum number of shares of our stock subject to the 2008 Plan, as well as the maximum number of shares that may be issued to an employee during any calendar year, and will equitably adjust outstanding awards as to the class, number of shares, and price per share of our stock. Other types of transactions may also affect our common stock, such as a dividend or other distribution, reorganization, merger, or other changes in corporate structure. In the event that there is such a transaction, which is not an equity restructuring, and the Board determines that an adjustment to the 2008 Plan and any outstanding awards would be appropriate to prevent any dilution or enlargement of benefits under the 2008 Plan, the Board will equitably adjust the 2008 Plan as to the class of shares issuable and the maximum number of shares of our stock subject to the 2008 Plan, as well as the maximum number of shares that may be issued to an employee during any calendar year, and will adjust any outstanding awards as to the class, number of shares, and price per share of our stock in such manner as it may deem equitable.

Effect of Certain Corporate Transactions

Outstanding awards do not automatically terminate in the event of a change in control. A “change in control” generally means a transaction in which any person or group acquires more than 50% of our voting securities, a change in a majority of the Board over a two-year period that is not approved by at least two-thirds of the incumbent Board members, a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of our assets, a merger or consolidation in which we are not the surviving corporation, or a reverse merger in which we are the surviving corporation but the shares of our stock outstanding immediately preceding the merger are converted by virtue of the merger into other property or a liquidation or dissolution of the Company. In the event of a change in control, any

Table of Contents

surviving corporation or acquiring corporation must either assume or continue outstanding awards or substitute similar awards. If it does not do so, then with respect to awards held by participants whose service has not terminated, the vesting of such awards (and, if applicable, the time during which such awards may be exercised) will be accelerated in full and all forfeiture restrictions on such awards shall lapse.

Amendment and Termination

The Compensation Committee, subject to approval of the Board, may terminate, amend, or modify the 2008 Plan at any time; however, stockholder approval will be obtained for any amendment (1) to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with any applicable law, regulation, or stock exchange rule, (2) to increase the number of shares available under the 2008 Plan, (3) to permit the Compensation Committee or the Board to grant options with a price below fair market value on the date of grant, or (4) to extend the exercise period for an option or stock appreciation right beyond ten years from the date of grant. In addition, absent stockholder approval, no option may be amended to reduce the per share exercise price of the shares subject to such option below the per share exercise price as of the date the option was granted and, except to the extent permitted by the 2008 Plan in connection with certain changes in capital structure, no option may be granted in exchange for, or in connection with, the cancellation or surrender of an option having a higher per share exercise price.

In no event may an award be granted pursuant to the 2008 Plan on or after the tenth anniversary of the date the stockholders approve the amended and restated 2008 Plan.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following is a general summary under current law of the material federal income tax consequences to participants in the 2008 Plan. This summary deals with the general tax principles that apply and is provided only for general information. Certain types of taxes, such as state and local income taxes, are not discussed. Tax laws are complex and subject to change and may vary depending on individual circumstances and from locality to locality. The summary does not discuss all aspects of income taxation that may be relevant to a participant in light of his or her personal investment circumstances. This summarized tax information is not tax advice.

With respect to nonqualified stock options, we are generally entitled to deduct and the optionee recognizes taxable income in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the purchased shares at the time of exercise over the option exercise price. A participant receiving incentive stock options will not recognize taxable income upon grant or at the time of exercise. However, the excess of the fair market value of the common stock received over the option price is an item of tax preference income potentially subject to the alternative minimum tax. If stock acquired upon exercise of an incentive stock option is held for a minimum of two years from the date of grant and one year from the date of exercise, the gain or loss (in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value on the date of sale and the exercise price) upon disposition of the stock will be treated as a long-term capital gain or loss, and we will not be entitled to any deduction. If the holding period requirements are not met, the incentive stock option will be treated as one that does not meet the requirements of the Code for incentive stock options, and in the year of the disposition the participant will recognize compensation taxable as ordinary income in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) the actual gain realized upon the disposition (i.e., the sale price minus the exercise price) or (2) the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise over the exercise price, and we generally will be entitled to a corresponding deduction.

The current U.S. federal income tax consequences of other awards authorized under the 2008 Plan generally follow certain basic patterns: stock appreciation rights are taxed and deductible in substantially the same manner as nonqualified stock options; nontransferable restricted stock subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture results in income recognition equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares over the price paid, if any, only at the time the restrictions lapse (unless the recipient elects to accelerate recognition as of the date of grant); and RSUs, stock-based performance awards, dividend equivalents and other types of awards are generally subject to tax at the time of payment. Compensation otherwise effectively deferred is taxed when paid. In each of the foregoing cases, we will generally have a corresponding deduction at the time the participant recognizes income, subject to Section 162(m) of the Code with respect to covered employees.

Table of Contents

PROPOSALS REQUIRING YOUR VOTE

Section 162(m) of the Code denies a deduction to any publicly held corporation for compensation paid to certain “covered employees” in a taxable year to the extent that compensation to such covered employee exceeds $1 million. It is possible that compensation attributable to awards under the 2008 Plan, when combined with all other types of compensation received by a covered employee from us, may cause this limitation to be exceeded in any particular year.

Certain kinds of compensation, including qualified “performance-based compensation,” are disregarded for purposes of the deduction limitation. In accordance with U.S. Treasury Regulations issued under Section 162(m), compensation attributable to stock awards will generally qualify as performance-based compensation if (1) the award is granted by a compensation committee composed solely of two or more “outside directors,” (2) the plan contains a per-employee limitation on the number of awards that may be granted during a specified period, (3) the plan is approved by the stockholders, and (4) under the terms of the award, the amount of compensation an employee could receive is based solely on an increase in the value of the stock after the date of the grant (which requires that the exercise price of the option is not less than the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant), and for awards other than options and stock appreciation rights, established performance criteria that must be met before the award actually will vest or be paid.

The 2008 Plan is intended to meet the requirements of Section 162(m); however, full value awards granted under the 2008 Plan will be treated as qualified performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) only if the full value awards and the procedures associated with them comply with all other requirements of Section 162(m). We cannot assure you that compensation attributable to options and full value awards granted under the 2008 Plan will be treated as qualified performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) and thus be deductible to us.

The tax consequences for equity awards outside of the U.S. may differ from the U.S. federal income tax consequences described above.

Prior Grants Under the 2008 Plan

Awards are subject to the discretion of the Compensation Committee. Therefore, it is not possible to determine the benefits that will be received in the future by participants in the 2008 Plan. The following table sets forth information with respect to equity awards previously granted under the 2008 Plan as of March 18, 2016:

		Number of Stock Options Granted Under the 2008 Plan		Number of Full- Value Awards Granted Under the 2008 Plan *

PROPOSAL 4 — RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Audit Committee is responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the independent auditors retained to audit our consolidated financial statements. We have appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) as our independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016. PwC has audited our historical consolidated financial statements for all annual periods since our incorporation in 1996. In order to assure continuing auditor independence, the Audit Committee periodically considers whether there should be a regular rotation of the independent audit firm. Further, in conjunction with the mandated rotation of the independent audit firm’s lead engagement partner, the Audit Committee will continue to be directly involved in the selection and evaluation of PwC’s lead engagement partner. The Board and the Audit Committee believe that the continued retention of PwC to serve as our independent auditors is in the best interests of eBay and our stockholders. We expect that representatives of PwC will be present at the Annual Meeting, will have an opportunity to make a statement if they wish, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Our bylaws do not require the stockholders to ratify the appointment of PwC as our independent auditors. However, we are submitting the appointment of PwC to the stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. If the stockholders do not ratify the appointment, the Audit Committee will reconsider whether or not to retain PwC. Even if the appointment is ratified, the Audit Committee, in its discretion, may change the appointment at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of eBay and our stockholders.

The Board of Directors and the Audit Committee Recommend a Vote FOR Proposal 4.

Audit and Other Professional Fees

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, fees for services provided by PwC were as follows (in thousands):

	Year Ended December 31,
	2015			2014
Audit Fees (1)	$	15,951		$	12,321
Audit-Related Fees		1,447			1,370
Tax Fees		280			874
All Other Fees (2)		2,360			2,243
Total	$	20,038		$	16,807

(1) Higher in 2015, despite lower base eBay audit fee, due to distribution of PYPL ($4.4 million), sale of Enterprise ($3.1 million) and additional work on eBay discontinued operations ($2.0 million)

(2) For 2015 and 2014, includes approximately $0.5 million and $1.7 million, respectively, of lease payments to PwC Russia for office space in Russia pursuant to a sublease arrangement negotiated on an arm’s-length basis.

“Audit Fees” consist of fees incurred for services rendered for the audit of eBay’s annual financial statements, review of financial statements included in eBay’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, other services normally provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filings, for attestation services related to compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and services rendered in connection with securities offerings. “Audit-Related Fees” consist of fees incurred for due diligence procedures in connection with acquisitions and divestitures and consultation regarding financial accounting and reporting matters. “Tax Fees” consist of fees incurred for transfer pricing consulting services, tax planning and advisory services, and tax compliance services. “All Other Fees” consist of fees incurred for permitted services not included in the category descriptions provided above with respect to “Audit Fees,” “Audit-Related Fees,” and “Tax Fees,” and include fees for consulting services, compliance-related services, and software licenses, as well as the lease payments described above.

The Audit Committee has determined that the non-audit services rendered by PwC were compatible with maintaining its independence. All such non-audit services were pre-approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to the pre-approval policy set forth below.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy

The Audit Committee has adopted a policy requiring the pre-approval of any non-audit engagement of PwC. In the event that we wish to engage PwC to perform accounting, technical, diligence, or other permitted services not related to the services performed by PwC as our independent registered public accounting firm, our internal finance personnel will prepare a summary of the proposed engagement, detailing the nature of the engagement, the reasons why PwC is the preferred provider of such services, and the estimated duration and cost of the engagement. This information will be provided to our Audit Committee or a designated Audit Committee member, who will evaluate whether the proposed engagement will interfere with the independence of PwC in the performance of its auditing services and decide whether the engagement will be permitted.

On an interim basis, any non-audit engagement may be presented to the Chair of the Audit Committee for approval and to the full Audit Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting.

Audit Committee Report

We constitute the Audit Committee of the Board. The Audit Committee’s responsibility is to provide assistance and guidance to the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities to eBay’s stockholders with respect to:

eBay’s corporate accounting and reporting practices;

eBay’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements;

The independent auditors’ qualifications and independence;

The performance of eBay’s internal audit function and independent auditors;

The quality and integrity of eBay’s financial statements and reports;

Reviewing and approving all audit engagement fees and terms, as well as all non-audit engagements with the independent auditors; and

Producing this report.

The Audit Committee members are not professional accountants or auditors and these functions are not intended to replace or duplicate the activities of management or the independent auditors. Management has primary responsibility for preparing the financial statements and designing and assessing the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Management and the internal auditing department are responsible for maintaining appropriate accounting and financial reporting principles and policies and internal controls and procedures that provide for compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. PwC, eBay’s independent auditors, are responsible for planning and carrying out an audit of eBay’s financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and eBay’s internal control over financial reporting, expressing an opinion on the conformity of eBay’s audited financial statements with generally accepted accounting principles as well as the effectiveness of eBay’s internal control over financial reporting, reviewing eBay’s quarterly financial statements prior to the filing of each quarterly report on Form 10-Q, and other procedures.

During 2015 and in early 2016, in connection with the preparation of eBay’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, and in fulfillment of our oversight responsibilities, we did the following, among other things:

Discussed with PwC the overall scope of and plans for their audit;

Reviewed, upon completion of the audit, the financial statements to be included in the Form 10-K and management’s report on internal control over financial reporting and discussed the audited financial statements and eBay’s internal control over financial reporting with management;

Conferred with PwC and with senior management of eBay regarding the scope, adequacy, and effectiveness of internal accounting and financial reporting controls (including eBay’s internal control over financial reporting) in effect;

Instructed PwC that the independent auditors are ultimately accountable to the Board and the Audit Committee, as representatives of the stockholders;

Discussed with PwC both during and after completion of their audit processes, the results of their audit, including PwC’s assessment of the quality and appropriateness, not just acceptability, of the accounting principles applied by eBay, the reasonableness of significant judgments, the nature of significant risks and exposures, the adequacy of the disclosures in the financial statements as well as other matters required to be communicated under generally accepted auditing standards, including the matters required by applicable accounting standards; and

Obtained from PwC, in connection with the audit, a timely report relating to eBay’s annual audited financial statements describing all critical accounting policies and practices to be used, all alternative treatments of financial information within generally accepted accounting principles that were discussed with management, ramifications of the use of such alternative disclosures and treatments, the treatment preferred by PwC, and any material written communications between PwC and management.

Our Audit Committee held 13 meetings in 2015. Throughout the year, we conferred with PwC, eBay’s internal audit team, and senior management in separate executive sessions to discuss any matters that the Audit Committee, PwC, the internal audit team, or senior management believed should be discussed privately with the Audit Committee. We have direct and private access to both the internal and external auditors of eBay.

We have discussed with PwC the matters required to be discussed by the statement on Auditing Standards No. 16 (Communication with Audit Committees). The Audit Committee has also received the written disclosures and the letter from PwC required by the applicable Public Company Accounting Oversight Board requirements for independent accountant communications with audit committees concerning auditor independence, and has discussed the independence of PwC with that firm. We have concluded that PwC’s provision to eBay and its affiliates of the non-audit services reflected under “Audit-Related Fees,” “Tax Fees,” and “All Other Fees” above is compatible with PwC’s obligation to remain independent.

We have also established procedures for the receipt, retention, and treatment of complaints received by eBay regarding accounting, internal accounting controls, or auditing matters and for the confidential anonymous submission by eBay employees of concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters.

After reviewing the qualifications of the current members of the Audit Committee, and any relationships they may have with eBay that might affect their independence from eBay, the Board determined that each member of the Audit Committee meets the independence requirements of The NASDAQ Stock Market and of Section 10A of the Exchange Act, that each member is able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, and that Mr. Anderson qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” under the applicable rules promulgated pursuant to the Exchange Act. The Audit Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board. The current Audit Committee Charter is available on the corporate governance section of eBay’s investor relations website at https://investors.ebayinc.com/corporate-governance.cfm. Any future changes in the Audit Committee charter or key practices will also be reflected on the website.

Based on our reviews and discussions described above, we recommended to the Board, and the Board approved, the inclusion of the audited financial statements in eBay’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, which eBay filed with the SEC on February 2, 2016. We have also approved the appointment of PwC as our independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016.

PROPOSAL 5 — STOCKHOLDER PROPOSAL REGARDING GENDER PAY EQUITY

Arjuna Capital/Baldwin Brothers Inc., whose address is 204 Spring Street, Marion, Massachusetts, on behalf of Dylan Sage, has advised the Company that it intends to present the following stockholder proposal at the 2016 Annual Meeting. Mr. Sage has indicated that he holds more than $2,000 of eBay common stock.

The text of the stockholder proposal and supporting statement appear exactly as received by eBay unless otherwise noted. All statements contained in the stockholder proposal and supporting statement are the sole responsibility of the proponent. The stockholder proposal may contain assertions about the Company or other matters that we believe are incorrect, but we have not attempted to refute all of those assertions.

The stockholder proposal will be voted on at the 2016 Annual Meeting only if properly presented by or on behalf of the proponent. Adoption of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy. Abstentions will be counted as present for purposes of this vote and therefore will have the same effect as a vote against this stockholder proposal. Broker non-votes will not be counted as present and are not entitled to vote on this proposal.

The Board recommends a vote AGAINST the stockholder proposal based on the reasons set forth in eBay’s Statement of Opposition following the stockholder proposal.

PROPOSALS REQUIRING YOUR VOTE

Gender Pay Equity Whereas: The median income for women working full time in the United States is reported to be 78 percent of that of their male counterparts. At the current rate, women will not reach pay parity until 2058. Technology-industry recruiting firm Dice reports men earned nearly 10,000 dollar more than women on average in 2014. Meanwhile, the industry struggles to attract and retain women workers. A large body of evidence suggests that diversity leads to better performance. Women make up just 26 percent of the US tech workforce, forty-five percent of tech companies lack a single female executive, few women hold senior management and board positions, and there are high rates of attrition among women. The Harvard Business Review reports 41 percent of highly qualified scientists, engineers, and technologist in entry level positions are female, yet 56 percent of midcareer women leave the field at mid level positions. At eBay, approximately 42 percent of our Company’s employees are women, and women account for only 28 percent of our firm’s leadership. Mckinsey & Company states “the business case for the advancement and promotion of women is compelling” finding companies with highly diverse executive teams boasted higher returns on equity (+10.7 percent), earnings performance (+91.4 percent), and stock price growth (+36 percent). McKinsey advocated best practices to address this underleveraged opportunity including “tracking and eliminating gender pay gaps.” The National Center for Women and Information Technology reports key benefits of gender diversity include better financial performance, superior team dynamics and productivity, teams that stay on schedule and under budget, and improved employee performance. Regulatory risk exists related to pay parity. The Paycheck Fairness Act of 2014 is pending before Congress to improve company-level transparency and strengthen penalties for equal-pay violations. President Obama signed an executive action requiring companies who do business with the federal government to report pay data by gender and race. The California Senate recently passed the Fair Pay Act, one of the strongest measures yet to close the gender pay gap. The Wall Street Journal reports, “Academic research attributes salary inequalities to several factors – from outright bias to women failing to ask for raises.” Harvard University economist Claudia Goldin concluded the pay gap stems from women making less in the same jobs as their male colleagues. Reuters reports Microsoft’s CEO was criticized for suggesting women in technology should not ask for raises but have faith in the “system.” Resolved: Shareholders request eBay prepare a report by September 2016, omitting proprietary information and prepared at reasonable cost, on the Company’s policies and goals to reduce the gender pay gap. The gender pay gap is defined as the difference between male and female earnings expressed as a percentage of male earnings according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. Supporting Statement: A report adequate for investors to assess eBay’s strategy and performance would include the percentage pay gap between male and female employees, policies to address that gap, and quantitative reduction targets.

eBay’s Statement in Opposition

The Board has carefully considered this proposal and, for the reasons set forth below, does not believe that it is in the best interests of eBay and its stockholders.

As a leader in commerce, we take diversity seriously. Since eBay was founded in 1995, we have believed in the power of technology to democratize commerce and create more opportunities for all. We believe in the same power of inclusion and opportunity inside our company. Enabling talented people to thrive matters. Diversity matters. It makes us stronger, and it makes us better.

While we are committed to fostering all types of diversity, increasing the number of women in leadership roles, in particular, has been a long-standing focus for the Company. In 2010, eBay launched its Women’s Initiative Network (WIN). The mission of WIN is to attract and engage women to build lasting, successful careers at eBay.

Through WIN, we have more than doubled the number of women in leadership roles and increased the share of leadership positions held by women. And we have continued to expand WIN around the world. Supporting our commitment to women, we are a Pioneer Partner of the Anita Borg Institute and a Diamond Sponsor of the 2016 Grace Hopper Conference in the United States. And we leverage research insights from the Clayman Institute for Gender Research at Stanford University, as well as from leading academics. In various leadership forums globally, we provide ongoing diversity and inclusion training, including training focused on supporting gender diversity and the elimination of unconscious bias.

eBay complies with the reporting requirements of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Beginning in 2014, we also committed to publish our global gender diversity and U.S. ethnic diversity workforce data annually, which can be found at https://www.ebayinc.com/stories/news/building-a-more-diverse-ebay-and-paypal/. The 2015 data shows that our continued focus on diversity and inclusion has positioned us as an industry leader, with women representing 43 percent of our global workforce and 29 percent of our global leaders. In addition, women comprise more than 30 percent of our President and CEO’s direct reports and our Board includes two women, Bonnie S. Hammer and Kathleen C. Mitic.

We remain committed to our on-going efforts to promote diversity in the workplace and strongly believe we continue to make demonstrable progress in building a diverse eBay. As such, the Board feels that the proposal would not enhance the Company’s existing commitment to an inclusive culture or meaningfully further its goal and efforts in support of workplace diversity.

For the reasons set forth above, the Board believes that implementation of this proposal is not in the best interests of eBay and its stockholders.

The Board of Directors Recommends a Vote AGAINST Proposal 5.

Unless you specify otherwise, the Board intends the accompanying proxy to be voted against this item.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Dear eBay Stockholder,

During 2015, eBay successfully completed the Spin-Off of PayPal. In nine months, we accomplished what we set out to do, which was to establish two standalone public companies with world-class leadership teams and ensure a seamless transition during the process of separation. Our goal in 2015 was to align the compensation incentives for our executive officers to ensure a smooth and effective separation while setting up both companies for success.

We are proud of the results that the Company achieved in 2015 and by the exemplary leadership demonstrated by both the departing and go-forward leadership teams. Mr. Wenig, in particular, successfully transitioned from his role as a business unit president to a CEO of a large, independent public company with correspondingly greater responsibilities. We believe his compensation package is appropriate and meets the objectives of retaining and motivating him while assuring that he focuses on long-term performance.

As the Compensation Committee of your Board of Directors, we are committed to ensuring that the Company’s executive compensation program serves the long-term interests of our stockholders and is highly performance based. Following the separation of PayPal from eBay, we conducted an extensive review of eBay’s compensation philosophy and executive compensation program to assess whether both continued to be properly aligned with our business goals, culture and, importantly, stockholder feedback and interests. Based upon this review, we determined that our program continues to be appropriate to drive strategy, resonate culturally and align pay with performance. We also made the decision to increase the weight of performance-based restricted stock units for our senior leaders beginning in 2016.

In addition, the Company has established a practice of regularly engaging with investors to solicit their feedback on our executive compensation program, and we believe that our stockholders generally support our executive compensation program and the decisions we have made under the program.

More details about our compensation philosophy, actions and decisions for 2015 are set out in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis. We hope you agree that our programs created the proper incentives and rewards for creating long-term value for our stockholders. We sincerely welcome your feedback and questions and look forward to continuing to serve you in 2016.

The following chart shows the breakdown of reported 2015 compensation for Mr. Wenig. This chart illustrates the predominance of equity incentives and performance-based components in our regular executive compensation program.

WENIG
67% Performance-Based

Certain executive officers who departed the Company in connection with the Spin-Off (the “Former Executives”) are also deemed NEOs under SEC rules. For the sake of clarity, we have created a separate section to discuss the compensation decisions made with respect to the Former Executives titled “Compensation Decisions Related to the Spin-Off – Former Executives”.

Our 2015 Company Performance

For 2015, the Compensation Committee chose to continue to use a mix of equity and cash compensation vehicles to compensate our NEOs, the majority of which were dependent on financial targets that the Compensation Committee believes correlate with the Company’s financial performance over one and multi-year performance periods and long-term stock performance, including FX-neutral revenue, Non-GAAP operating margin dollars, Return on Invested Capital and Non-GAAP net income.

The following charts set forth the Company’s 2015 financial results that impact the Company’s executive compensation programs.

Investor Feedback and 2015 “Say on Pay” Vote

Over the past two years, our stockholders have overwhelmingly approved our executive compensation program through the “say on pay” vote (93% approval in 2014 and 94% approval in 2015). The Company also has established a practice of regularly engaging with stockholders to solicit their feedback on our executive compensation program and other governance matters. After considering the 2015 “say on pay” results as well as the positive feedback received during the Company’s stockholders engagement efforts, the Compensation Committee determined that the Company’s executive compensation philosophy, compensation objectives, and compensation elements continued to be appropriate and did not make any specific changes to the Company’s executive compensation program in response to the 2015 “say on pay” vote.

ELEMENTS OF OUR EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION PROGRAM

Our executive compensation program is designed to:

●	align compensation with our business objectives, performance and stockholder feedback,
●	motivate executive officers to enhance long-term stockholder value,
●	position us competitively among the companies against which we recruit and compete for talent, and
●	enable us to attract, retain, and reward executive officers and other key employees who contribute to our long-term success.

To achieve these objectives, we have three principal components of our executive compensation program: long-term equity compensation, an annual cash incentive, and base salary. The Compensation Committee seeks to ensure that total compensation for our NEOs is heavily weighted to variable, performance-based compensation by delivering a majority of compensation in the form of PBRSUs, stock options, and annual cash incentives.

The Compensation Committee chose a mix of equity and cash compensation vehicles to compensate management based on long-term value drivers of Company performance over one and multi-year periods and individual contributions to the Company. Our executive officers also were eligible to participate in our broad-based retirement savings (which include a 401(k) program open to all employees in the United States and an unmatched deferred compensation program available to vice presidents and above in the United States) and benefit programs and received limited perquisites.

The Compensation Dashboard below provides a snapshot of the key elements of our 2015 executive compensation program and describes why each element is provided. Additional information about these key elements is included in the sections following the dashboard.

Equity Incentive Awards

In 2015, PBRSUs, RSUs, and stock options were the only types of equity incentive awards granted to our NEOs. Once the value of the annual equity incentive awards had been set for each executive officer, a formula was used to allocate the annual equity award as follows:

●	50% PBRSUs,
●	30% time-based RSUs, and
●	20% stock options.

51

Table of Contents

Beginning in 2016, the Compensation Committee decided to increase the weight of performance-based restricted stock units for our senior leaders beginning in 2016. The Compensation Committee decided to make this change in response to feedback from the Company’s shareholders and input from the Compensation Committee’s independent compensation consultant. For 2016, once the value of the annual equity incentive awards is set for each executive officer, the formula used to allocate the annual equity award will be as follows:

●	60% PBRSUs, and
●	40% time-based RSUs.

Annual Equity Awards: Value

The value of annual equity awards is determined within guidelines that the Compensation Committee establishes on an annual basis for each position. These guidelines are based on our desired pay positioning relative to companies with which we compete for talent. The midpoint of the guidelines, or the median target award, reflects the 50th percentile of the competitive market. Individual awards are based on individual performance, potential, and the total value of unvested equity previously granted to each individual executive officer. The individual awards can be higher or lower than the median target award by an amount ranging from zero to three times the median target award. The Compensation Committee limits the use of supplemental equity awards to only extraordinary circumstances.

In 2015, the Compensation Committee set equity award guidelines by position based on the following:

●	equity compensation practices of technology companies in our peer group, as disclosed in their public filings (See page 67 for our 2015 peer group), and
●	equity compensation practices for comparable technology companies that are included in proprietary third-party surveys.

The Compensation Committee also carefully considers share usage each year and sets an upper limit on the number of shares that can be used for equity compensation.

The Compensation Committee may make special equity-related compensation decisions for performance, retention, acquisitions, and/or recruitment purposes (including payments for equity or other compensation awards from a former employer that an executive officer may be required to forfeit or forego by accepting employment with the Company) that cause individual equity compensation in a particular year to differ from the Compensation Committee’s regular stated compensation strategy and guidelines.

PBRSU Program

Design and Performance Periods. Executive officers are eligible to receive awards of PBRSUs that will result in grants of RSUs with additional time-based vesting requirements if the Company exceeds specified financial performance criteria set by the Compensation Committee. The amount and value of the award depend on the Company’s performance relative to the performance goals approved by the Compensation Committee at the beginning of the performance period. The 2014-2015 and 2015-2016 PBRSU cycles each have two-year performance periods.

Under the PBRSU program, assuming above-minimum threshold performance, time-based RSUs will be granted to the executive officers. Beginning with the 2015-2016 performance period, 100% of any PBRSU awards granted to our CEO and CFO will vest, if at all, one year after the grant is made following the end of the two-year performance period. This provision subjects 100% of the CEO and CFO PBRSU awards to a full three years of stock price volatility before the shares vest. For all executive officers other than the CEO and CFO and for Mr. Wenig and Mr. Schenkel for the 2014-2015 PBRSU cycle, one-half of the RSUs vest in March following the end of the performance period and the other half of the award vest in March of the following year, more than one full

year following the completion of the performance period. The Compensation Committee believes that the post-performance period vesting feature of the PBRSUs provides an important mechanism that helps to retain executive officers and align their interests with long-term stockholder value.

PBRSU Timeline

Setting a Target Value of PBRSU Shares. As discussed above, the Compensation Committee establishes a target level of total annual equity compensation for each executive officer, a portion of which will be awarded in PBRSUs. If the Company’s performance meets the target performance goals, the target level of PBRSUs will be issued. If the Company’s performance exceeds or falls short of the target performance goals, the number of PBRSUs granted will be increased or decreased formulaically.

Performance Measures and Rationale. The following table outlines the performance periods and performance measures and the Compensation Committee’s rationale for their selection:

Performance Periods		2014-2015 and 2015-2016
Performance Measures		FX-neutral revenue (1)
		Non-GAAP operating margin dollars (2)
		Return on invested capital (modifier)
Compensation Committee Rationale		The Compensation Committee believes these measures are key drivers of our long-term success and stockholder value, and directly affected by the decisions of the Company’s management.
		Both FX-neutral revenue and non-GAAP operating margin dollars measures are used to help ensure that leaders are accountable for driving profitable growth, and making appropriate tradeoffs between investments that increase operating expense and future growth in revenue.
		The return on invested capital modifier is used to hold leaders accountable for the efficient use of capital.

(1) Calculated on a fixed foreign exchange basis (referred to as FX-neutral).

(2) Non-GAAP operating margin dollars excludes certain items, primarily stock-based compensation expense and related employer payroll taxes, amortization of acquired intangible assets, impairment of goodwill, separation expenses, and certain one-time gains, losses and/or expenses.

PBRSU Mechanics and Targets. The two-year targets are generally set in a manner consistent with the current year budget and the three-year targets provided to the investment community at the Company’s analyst events. To receive a PBRSU grant, at least one of the FX-neutral revenue or non-GAAP operating margin dollars minimum performance thresholds must be met. Each of the minimum performance threshold for FX-neutral revenue and non-GAAP operating margin dollars is independent and, if either

53

---

Table of Contents

minimum threshold is met, the award is funded with respect to that performance measure in accordance with the percentages outlined in the table below. If the minimum performance threshold for either FX-neutral revenue or non-GAAP operating margin dollars is not met, then there is no funding associated with that performance measure.

The following chart shows the minimum, target, and maximum funding levels for FX-neutral revenue and non-GAAP operating margin dollars:

		Minimum		Target		Maximum
FX-neutral revenue		25%		50%		100%
Non-GAAP operating margin dollars		25%		50%		100%

The number of shares awarded is determined by comparing our actual performance for FX-neutral revenue and non-GAAP operating margin dollars over the performance period against the minimum, target, and maximum performance levels and converting the result into a funding percentage. The FX-neutral revenue and non-GAAP operating margin dollars measures are then added together and this total is multiplied by the third measure, return on invested capital, with the modification multiplier determined in accordance with the table below:

		Minimum		Target		Maximum
Return on invested capital (modifier)		80%		100%		120%

The target award is multiplied by the percentage resulting from this calculation to determine the actual number of PBRSUs awarded, subject to Compensation Committee-approved variation due to material events not contemplated at the time the targets were set (such as major acquisitions) and to the Compensation Committee’s negative discretion. Accordingly, PBRSU awards range from 0% to 240% of an executive officer’s target award, based on eBay’s FX-neutral revenue, non-GAAP operating margin dollars, and return on invested capital for the two-year performance period.

Annual Cash Incentive Awards

Performance Period. The cash incentive plan, known as the eBay Incentive Plan (“eIP”), is a short-term incentive plan. The Compensation Committee determines the length of the performance period for the cash incentive plan, which has historically been annual (including for 2015).

Design. The Compensation Committee believes that incentive payouts should be tightly linked to eBay’s performance, with individual compensation differentiated based on individual performance. When defining Company performance, the Compensation Committee focuses primarily on financial performance metrics (FX-neutral revenue and non-GAAP net income).

To support a tight link between Company performance and any incentive payouts, the annual cash incentives payable for 2015 had both a minimum FX-neutral revenue threshold and a minimum non-GAAP net income threshold. Unless both of these thresholds are met, there is no incentive payout. If both thresholds are met, the Company uses total non-GAAP net income as the primary determinant of the payout for the annual cash incentive plan. The amount at which the plan is funded is determined based on the Company’s actual performance as measured against the target set by the Compensation Committee, with 75% of the award for our NEOs based on the Company’s non-GAAP net income financial performance.

To facilitate differentiation based on individual performance, 25% of the award for our NEOs is based on individual performance. In circumstances where the Company’s financial performance is above its threshold goal but below target, a modifier is applied to the individual performance component to reduce it proportionately based on the Company financial performance component. For example, if the Company exceeded the FX-neutral revenue threshold but total non-GAAP net income was 90% of target, then the individual performance component would be calculated as follows: Target incentive amount x 25% x individual performance score x 90%.

54

Table of Contents

Performance Measures and Rationale.

The following table provides information on the primary and individual performance measures set in 2015 for executive officers and rationale for their selection:

Performance Measures (1)		Rationale
Primary Company financial performance measure
FX-neutral revenue (threshold)		The Compensation Committee believes that a minimum revenue threshold should be met before any cash incentive is paid. Once the minimum revenue threshold has been met, the annual cash incentive payment is paid based on results in relation to the Non-GAAP net income goal.
Non-GAAP net income (2)		The Compensation Committee believes non-GAAP net income is the key measure of short- and intermediate-term results for the Company given that it can be directly affected by the decisions of the Company’s management and provides the most widely followed measure of financial performance.
Individual measure
Individual performance		The Compensation Committee believes that a portion of the compensation payable under this plan should be differentiated based on individual performance for which a review is conducted at the end of the year.

(1) Both minimum FX-neutral revenue and minimum non-GAAP net income thresholds must be met in order for there to be any incentive payout based on Company performance or individual performance, with the funding level for Company performance based on the amount of non-GAAP net income.

(2) Non-GAAP net income excludes certain items, primarily stock-based compensation expense and related employer payroll taxes, amortization of acquired intangible assets, impairment of goodwill, separation expenses, certain one-time gains, losses and/or expenses, and income taxes related to these items. Non-GAAP net income is calculated quarterly, is publicly disclosed as part of our quarterly earnings releases, and is a basis of third-party analysts’ estimates of the Company’s results.

Annual Cash Incentive Plan Mechanics, Assessment, and Target Positioning Strategy. Each year, the Compensation Committee establishes (1) Company performance measures based on business criteria and target levels of performance and (2) a formula for calculating a participant’s award based on actual Company performance compared to the pre-established performance measures. Targets are set in the first quarter of the year based primarily on the Company’s Board-approved budget for the year.

After the end of each year, the Company’s actual performance is compared to the approved performance measure targets to determine the funding level of that portion of the annual cash incentive plan, subject to Compensation Committee approved variation due to material events not contemplated at the time the targets were set (such as major acquisitions) and to the Compensation Committee’s negative discretion. With respect to individual performance, our CEO presents the Compensation Committee with his assessment of the individual performance of the executive officers who are his direct reports. The Compensation Committee reviews his assessments and makes a subjective determination of the level of individual performance for each of those executive officers. In addition, the Compensation Committee (with input from the Chairman of the Board and other independent members of the Board) makes a subjective determination of the individual performance of the CEO. In making its determination of the individual performance of each executive officer, the Compensation Committee does not give any specific weighting to individual goals.

The Compensation Committee assesses annual cash incentive award opportunities against data from public filings of our peer group companies and general industry data for comparable technology companies that are included in proprietary third-party surveys, and aims to set target annual cash incentive opportunities for our NEOs at approximately the 50th percentile based on that data.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Base Salary

Assessment and Target Positioning Strategy. At the beginning of each year, the Compensation Committee meets to review market data and to review and approve each executive officer’s base salary for the year. The Compensation Committee assesses competitive market data on base salaries from public filings of our peer group companies and general industry data for comparable technology companies that are included in proprietary third-party surveys. When considering the competitive market data, the Compensation Committee also considers the fact that the data is historical and does not necessarily reflect those companies’ current pay practices. The Compensation Committee assesses each executive officer’s base salary against the 50th percentile of the salaries paid to comparable executives at peer group companies. The Compensation Committee also considers individual performance, levels of responsibility, breadth of knowledge, and prior experience in its evaluation of base salary adjustments.

Perquisites

We provide certain executive officers with perquisites and other personal benefits not available to all employees that the Compensation Committee believes are reasonable and consistent with our overall compensation program and philosophy. These benefits are provided to enable the Company to attract and retain these executive officers. The Compensation Committee periodically reviews the levels of these benefits provided to our executive officers.

In connection with appointing Mr. Wenig as CEO-designee for eBay, the Compensation Committee granted Mr. Wenig access to the corporate airplane for up to 50 hours of personal use, subject to Mr. Wenig fully reimbursing the Company for the costs associated with such use. Beginning in 2016, the Compensation Committee granted Mr. Schenkel access to the corporate airplane for up to 20 hours of personal use, subject to Mr. Schenkel fully reimbursing the Company for the costs associated with such use. The Company does not grant bonuses to cover, reimburse, or otherwise “gross-up” any income tax owed for personal travel on the corporate airplane.

In addition, pursuant to the terms of Mr. Lawton’s offer letter, Mr. Lawton was eligible to receive certain relocation benefits in connection with his relocation to the San Francisco Bay Area. Mr. Lawton’s relocation assistance included assistance with selected costs and expenses related to moving to the San Francisco Bay Area (including temporary housing and transportation) and related tax reimbursements, consistent with the Company’s existing relocation policies. Mr. Lawton’s relocation assistance was negotiated as part of the terms of his offer to join the Company. The Compensation Committee believes it was necessary to offer Mr. Lawton relocation assistance in order to attract him to join the Company.

2015 Review of Elements of Executive Compensation Program

Following the Spin-Off, the Compensation Committee conducted an extensive review of eBay’s compensation philosophy and executive compensation program to assess whether both continued to be properly aligned with our business goals, culture and, importantly, stockholder feedback and interests. Based upon this review, the Compensation Committee determined that the Company’s program continues to be appropriate to drive strategy, resonate culturally and align pay with performance.

COMPENSATION DECISIONS FOR 2015

As we discussed above, in 2015 Devin Wenig became President and CEO of eBay Inc. and we successfully attracted a number of new senior leaders to fill key roles on Mr. Wenig’s management team and transitioned other members of his team to executive officer-level roles. When making compensation decisions for our NEOs, the Compensation Committee evaluated each individual based on his or her leadership, competencies, innovation, and both past and expected future contributions toward eBay’s financial, strategic and other priorities. In addition, the Compensation Committee considered succession planning and retention concerns as well as the total value of each NEO’s unvested equity awards. Based on its assessment, the Compensation Committee determined individual compensation arrangements for each NEO based on the factors and guidelines described above and in this section.

Determining 2015 Target Compensation for our CEO

In September 2014, in connection with Mr. Wenig’s appointment as President and CEO of eBay following the Spin-Off, the Compensation Committee determined it was appropriate that his compensation for 2015 take into account both his transition from being president of a business unit to the CEO of a large, public company as well as the expanded responsibilities associated with his new role as CEO. The Compensation Committee recognized that Mr. Wenig was well-qualified to lead the Company as its next CEO and thought it was important for him to be appropriately compensated as the CEO of a large, public company in the Internet and technology space. Additionally, the Compensation Committee took a multi-year view of Mr. Wenig’s total compensation, with the objectives of retaining and motivating him while providing a strong pay for performance element. In doing so, the Compensation Committee sought to focus Mr. Wenig’s attention on the longer-term performance of the company.

The Compensation Committee considered many factors in setting the various components of the Mr. Wenig’s compensation, including the factors set forth below. In evaluating performance against these factors, the Committee assigned no specific weighting to these factors and it evaluated individual performance in a holistic manner.

Performance against target financial results

Successful establishment of independent eBay

Engagement with current and potential investors

Appointment of a new senior management team

The strategic positioning of the Company for the future

In September 2014, the Compensation Committee put in place a thoughtful transition of Mr. Wenig’s compensation from his role as a business unit president to the Company’s President and CEO following the Spin-Off. The Compensation Committee determined that the increase in base salary and target cash incentive award and grant of equity awards in connection with Mr. Wenig becoming CEO of eBay were necessary in order for Mr. Wenig’s compensation to be competitive with compensation of CEOs of other large, public companies in the Internet and technology space. The following table outlines how Mr. Wenig’s compensation changed over the course of 2015.

		As of September 2014			Spring 2015			In connection with becoming CEO of eBay (July 17, 2015)
Base salary		$900,000			No change			$1,000,000
Target Cash Incentive Award (percentage of base salary)		175	%		No change			200	%
Equity Award		—			$9,000,000	*		$2,000,000	*

* Allocated in accordance with the Company’s standard practice: 50% PBRSUs, 30% RSUs, and 20% stock options. For the PBRSU portion of the award, if performance targets are met and RSUs are granted in 2017 in connection with the 2015-2016 PBRSU cycle, the RSUs will vest 100% in 2018 on the first anniversary of the date of grant.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Breakdown of 2015 Compensation for Mr. Wenig

The following chart shows the breakdown of reported 2015 compensation for Mr. Wenig. This chart illustrates the predominance of equity incentives and performance-based components in our regular executive compensation program.

Summary of Total Target Equity Award, Target Annual Cash Incentive Award, and Salary for other NEOs

The Compensation Committee considered many factors in setting the various components of the other NEOs compensation, including the factors set forth below. In evaluating performance against these factors, the Committee assigned no specific weighting to these factors and it evaluated individual performance in a holistic manner.

Performance against target financial results for the NEO’s business unit or function

Defining business unit or function strategy and executing against it

Organization development, including hiring, developing and retaining the senior leadership team of the business unit or function

Achievement of strategic or operational objectives, including control of costs

Driving innovation and execution for the business unit or function

Mr. Schenkel

In September 2014, the Compensation Committee put in place a thoughtful transition of Mr. Schenkel’s compensation from his role as a business unit chief financial officer to the Company’s CFO following the Spin-Off. The process the Compensation Committee followed in setting Mr. Schenkel’s compensation was similar to the one they used to set Mr. Wenig’s compensation. The Compensation Committee determined that the increase in base salary and target cash incentive award and grant of equity awards in connection with Mr. Schenkel becoming CFO of eBay were necessary in order for Mr. Schenkel’s compensation to be competitive with that of CFOs of other large, public companies in the Internet and technology space. The following table outlines how Mr. Schenkel’s compensation changed over the course of 2015.

		As of September 2014			Spring 2015			In connection with becoming CFO of eBay (July 17, 2015)
Base salary		$600,000			No change			$650,000
Target Cash Incentive Award (percentage of base salary)		75	%		No change			100	%
Equity Award		—			$3,400,000	*		$4,600,000	*

* Allocated in accordance with the Company’s standard practice: 50% PBRSUs, 30% RSUs, and 20% stock options. For the PBRSU portion of the award, if performance targets are met and RSUs are granted in 2017 in connection with the 2015-2016 PBRSU cycle, the RSUs will vest 100% in 2018 on the first anniversary of the date of grant.

Mr. Fisher, Ms. Huber and Mr. Lawton

In connection with hiring Mr. Fisher in 2014 and Ms. Huber and Mr. Lawton in 2015, the Compensation Committee conducted a comprehensive review of pay structures for similar roles at comparable companies, as well as internal pay at the Company. The Compensation Committee concluded that it was important to provide a target total compensation opportunity competitive with the compensation of leaders at other major Internet and technology companies, with an annual compensation structure consistent with the Company’s current pay-for-performance philosophy and weighted heavily in favor of performance-based compensation. In considering the compensation packages for these NEOs, the Compensation Committee was mindful of the competition for talented executives in Internet and technology sectors, existing compensation arrangements with their then-current employer – including equity and incentive compensation that would be forfeited in connection with their departure from their then-current employers.

The Compensation Committee also reviewed and approved the target annual equity award, target annual cash incentive award, and salary for Mr. Fisher based on available market data as well as Company and individual performance.

The following chart shows the compensation arrangements for Mr. Fisher, Ms. Huber and Mr. Lawton:

Name		New Hire Equity Awards		New Hire Cash Payments		Target Value of 2015 Equity Awards Granted on April 1, 2015		Target Percentage of Annual Salary For Annual Cash Incentive Award		Annual Base Salary
Stephen Fisher*		—		$2.7 million		$3.5 million		75%		$625,000
Marie Oh Huber**		$5.0 million		$2.135 million		—		100%		$610,000
Harry Lawton***		$6.0 million		$4.13 million		—		75%		$650,000

* In connection with the commencement of his employment with the Company in 2014, Mr. Fisher received new hire equity awards with an aggregate value of $12.0 million and a $2.0 million cash payment in 2014. In addition, pursuant to the terms of his offer letter, Mr. Fisher is entitled to receive a $200,000 cash payment in each of 2016, 2017 and 2018.

** Ms. Huber was entitled to the cash payment pursuant to the terms of her offer letter, $2.0 million of which are subject to repayment obligations under certain circumstances. In addition, pursuant to the terms of her offer letter, Ms. Huber is entitled to receive a $1.0 million cash payment in 2016.

*** Mr. Lawton was entitled to the cash payment pursuant to the terms of his offer letter, $3.7 million of which is subject to repayment obligations under certain circumstances. In addition, pursuant to the terms of his offer letter, Mr. Lawton is entitled to receive a $300,000 cash payment in each of 2016 and 2017.

2015 BUSINESS RESULTS

The following is a summary of the business results that directly affected 2015 compensation, including performance-based equity awards and annual cash incentive awards.

PBRSUs

2014-2015 PBRSU Award

The following graphs show the goals and results achieved for the 2014-2015 performance period:

Foreign-exchange neutral	Non-GAAP operating margin	Return on Invested Capital (%)
(FX-neutral) revenue ($ billions)	dollars ($ billions)	Modifier

The performance goals for the 2014-2015 performance period were set in early 2014 before the Board decided to spin-off PayPal and divest the Enterprise business, so the goals included results for those business units. Following the decision to spin-off PayPal and divest the Enterprise business and in accordance with the Committee’s authority under the plan, the Committee modified the performance goals for the 2015 component of the 2014-2015 performance period so that the goals were based solely on the performance of the standalone Marketplaces business. Following the end of the performance period, as part of its review of the Company’s financial performance against the PBRSU targets and in accordance with its authority under the plan, the Committee considered whether the impact of any significant corporate events not contemplated at the time the targets were set should lead to an adjustment of any of the performance results. The Committee determined that because the Company’s pre-Spin-Off hedging strategy was based on a combined entity, in connection with the Spin-Off it was appropriate to adjust the Non-GAAP operating margin results to account for the foreign-exchange rate impact and certain costs related to the Spin-Off.

The funding level under the PBRSU plan could range from 0% to 240%. Based on the Company’s financial performance during the 2014-2015 performance period, the PBRSU award was funded at 73% of target and the NEOs received the following awards:

Name		Percentage of Target			Size of Award for 2014-2015 Performance Cycle		Vesting Schedule
Devin Wenig		73	%		144,886		50% on March 1, 2016; 50% on March 1, 2017
Scott Schenkel		73	%		55,011		50% on March 1, 2016; 50% on March 1, 2017
Steve Fisher		73	%		67,637		50% on March 1, 2016; 50% on March 1, 2017
Marie Oh Huber*		—			—		N/A
Harry Lawton*		—			—		N/A

* Based on the dates of the commencement of employment of Ms. Huber and Mr. Lawton, they did not receive PBRSU awards for the 2014-2015 performance cycle.

The Company’s 2015 performance will also impact the 2015-2016 PBRSU awards. When those targets were set and subsequently modified as described above, they were designed to be challenging but achievable over the two-year performance period. Award funding for the 2015-2016 performance period will be determined based on performance against approved targets for FX-neutral revenue, non-GAAP operating margin dollars, and return on invested capital following the completion of the applicable performance period.

Annual Cash Incentive Awards

2015 Annual Cash Incentive Goals and Plan Performance.

The following graphs show the goals and results achieved for the 2015 performance period:

FX-neutral revenue	Non-GAAP net income
($ billions)	($ billions)

In anticipation of the Spin-Off and subsequent sale of the Enterprise business, the Compensation Committee created the performance goals for the 2015 performance period to be based solely on the performance of the standalone Marketplaces business. Following the end of the performance period, as part of its review of the Company’s financial performance against the performance goals, the Compensation Committee considered whether any significant corporate events not contemplated at the time the targets were set should lead to an adjustment of any of the performance results. As part of its review in early 2016, the Compensation Committee determined that adjustments should be made to reduce the Non-GAAP net income amount to offset the impact of certain equity investments, legal settlements and certain Spin-Off related costs.

The funding level under the annual cash incentive plan could range from 0%-200%. Based on the Company’s non-GAAP net income for 2015 (and the achievement of the FX-neutral revenue threshold), the portion of the annual cash incentive plan based on Company performance was funded at 124% of the target opportunity.

In early 2016, the Compensation Committee also reviewed Mr. Wenig’s performance for the purpose of determining his 2015 annual cash incentive award, with input from the entire Board. The Compensation Committee did not assign fixed weightings to specific individual goals or performance criteria. Instead, it took a holistic view of performance during the year and the Company’s positioning for the future. The Compensation Committee considered the Company’s above target financial results, the successful Spin-Off, Mr. Wenig’s engagement with our current and potential investors, the appointment of a new senior management team, and the strategic positioning of the Company for the future. As a result, the individual performance component of Mr. Wenig’s annual cash incentive award was established at 200% of target, and his total earned annual incentive award for 2015 was 143% of target.

Table of Contents

Taking into account both Company and individual performance, total annual cash incentive amounts under the annual cash incentive for 2015 for our NEOs were paid as follows:

Name		Annual Cash Incentive Target as Percentage of Base Salary		Percentage of Target*		Size of annual cash incentive award for 2015
Devin Wenig		200%		143%		$2,695,000
Scott Schenkel		100%		143%		$888,250
Steve Fisher		75%		114%		$535,547
Marie Oh Huber		100%		118%		$459,565
Harry Lawton		75%		114%		$342,750

* The Company performance component (75%) was paid at 124% of target. The individual performance component (25%) was based on each NEO’s individual performance score, which was calculated as a percentage of target.

SEVERANCE AND CHANGE-IN-CONTROL ARRANGEMENTS WITH EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CLAWBACKS

The Compensation Committee’s objective when approving or establishing the severance and change-in-control arrangements described below was to provide fair and reasonable severance that would also serve as a retention incentive for those impacted by a change-in-control or similar transactions. The Compensation Committee believes that these protections help the Company to attract and retain highly talented executive officers.

In connection with the Spin-Off, the Company adopted the eBay Inc. SVP and Above Standard Severance Plan and Summary Plan Description (the “Standard Severance Plan”) and the eBay Inc. Change in Control Severance Plan for Key Employees and Summary Plan Description (the “Change-In-Control Severance Plan”). In considering the protections included in these plans, the Compensation Committee conducted a comprehensive review of protections provided to senior executives of the Company’s peer group and took into account the information about candidates expectations learned in the course of recruiting efforts for talented senior leaders to complete the Company’s leadership team. The Compensation Committee was also mindful that newly recruited executives were either leaving relatively secure employment arrangements or turning down attractive alternative offers. In addition, the Compensation Committee determined that these protections should be extended to current executives in order to maintain alignment of overall compensation internally.

See “Potential Payments upon Termination or Change-in-Control” below for information regarding the value of our payment obligations in the event of termination or a change in control, assuming that their employment was terminated or a change-incontrol occurred on December 31, 2015.

Severance Arrangements

In connection with the Spin-Off, the Company adopted the Standard Severance Plan. Mr. Fisher was selected by the Compensation Committee to participate in the Standard Severance Plan. Employees who are selected to participate in this plan are entitled to receive the following if they are terminated without cause and they sign and do not revoke a waiver of claims against the Company:

●	Cash severance payment equal to the sum of his or her annual salary and target cash incentive award amount;
●	Cash payment equal to two times the cost of 12 months of health insurance coverage;
●	Payment of any unpaid cash “make-good” awards;

Table of Contents

●

Prorated cash incentive award for the fiscal year in which termination occurred based on actual performance with respect to the Company performance element for the full year; and

●

Vesting (or payment of cash in lieu of vesting at the election of the Company) of unvested equity, including the actual amount of shares that would have been granted with respect to PBRSUs for performance periods completing on or before the first anniversary of the date of his or her termination, that would have otherwise vested within 12 months of his or her termination date (where the cash value, if applicable, of such unvested equity is determined using the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the 10 consecutive trading days ending on and including the trading day immediately prior to his or her termination date).

Mr. Wenig and Mr. Schenkel

In connection with being appointed CEO-designee and CFO-designee, respectively, of eBay, Mr. Wenig and Mr. Schenkel were provided severance arrangements in their respective offer letters. Neither Mr. Wenig nor Mr. Schenkel participates in the Standard Severance Plan. Under the arrangements set forth in their respective offer letters, Mr. Wenig and Mr. Schenkel is each entitled to receive the following if he is terminated without cause or resigns for good reason (as defined in his offer letter) not in connection with a change-in-control, and he signs and does not revoke a waiver of claims against the Company:

●	Cash severance payment equal to two times the sum of annual salary and annual bonus calculated as the greater of either (i) 200% of annual salary (in the case of Mr. Wenig) or 100% of annual salary (in the case of Mr. Schenkel) or (ii) target cash incentive award;
●	Prorated cash incentive award for the fiscal year in which termination occurred based on the actual performance with respect to the company performance element for the full year; and
●	A cash payment equal to the value of unvested equity, including the target amount of shares subject to PBRSUs for performance periods for which achievement has not yet been determined, that would have otherwise vested within 12 months of his termination date (where the value of such unvested equity is determined using the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the 10 consecutive trading days ending on and including the trading day immediately prior to his termination date).

In the event Mr. Wenig’s or Mr. Schenkel’s employment terminates due to his death or disability, he or his estate will receive, within 30 days of his termination date, a cash payment equal to the value of any equity awards that would have become vested within the following 24 months.

Ms. Huber and Mr. Lawton

In connection with the commencement of their employment with the Company, Ms. Huber and Mr. Lawton were provided severance arrangements in their respective offer letters. Neither Ms. Huber nor Mr. Lawton participates in the Standard Severance Plan. The Compensation Committee believes it was necessary to provide these severance arrangements in order to attract them to join the Company. Under these arrangements, Ms. Huber and Mr. Lawton is each entitled to receive the following if he or she is terminated without cause or resigns for good reason (as defined in his or her offer letter) not in connection with a change-incontrol, and he or she signs and does not revoke a waiver of claims against the Company:

●	Cash severance payment equal to:

-	two times the sum of his or her annualized salary and annual bonus calculated as the greater of either (i) 75% of annual salary (in the case of Mr. Lawton) or 100% of annual salary (in the case of Ms. Huber) or (ii) target cash incentive award if the termination is on or before the one year anniversary of commencement of employment with the Company;
-	one and a half times the sum of his or her annualized salary and annual bonus calculated as the greater of either (i) 75% of annual salary (in the case of Mr. Lawton) or 100% of annual salary (in the case of Ms. Huber) or (ii) target cash incentive award if the termination is after the one year anniversary but before the second anniversary of commencement of employment with the Company; or
-	the sum of his or her annualized salary and annual bonus calculated as the greater of either (i) 75% of annual salary (in the case of Mr. Lawton) or 100% of annual salary (in the case of Ms. Huber) or (ii) target cash incentive award if the termination is after second anniversary of commencement of employment with the Company;

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

●	All unpaid make-good cash payments;
●	Prorated cash incentive award for the fiscal year in which termination occurred based on the actual performance with respect to the Company performance element for the full year; and
●	A cash payment equal to the value of unvested equity, including the target amount of shares subject to PBRSUs for performance periods for which achievement has not yet been determined, that would have otherwise vested within 12 months of his termination date (where the value of such unvested equity is determined using the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the 10 consecutive trading days ending on and including the trading day immediately prior to his or her termination date).

Change-in-Control Arrangements

The Company has not entered into any arrangements with any of its executive officers to provide “single trigger” severance payments upon a change-in-control. As described above, the Company has put change-in-control protections in place for our go-forward NEOs.

The Company’s equity incentive plans generally provide for the acceleration of vesting of awards granted under the plans upon a change-in-control (as defined in the applicable plan) only if the acquiring entity does not agree to assume or continue the awards. These provisions generally apply to all holders of awards under the equity incentive plans. Under the terms of the equity incentive plans, the Spin-Off did not constitute a change-in-control for purposes of these protections.

In connection with the Spin-Off, the Company adopted the Change-in-Control Severance Plan. Employees who are selected to participate in this plan are entitled to receive the following if, in connection with a change-in-control, they are terminated without cause or resign for good reason and they sign and do not revoke a waiver of claims against the Company:

●	Cash severance payment equal to an amount between one half and two times the sum of his or her annual salary and target cash incentive award amount;
●	Cash payment equal to two times the cost of between six months and 24 months of health insurance coverage;
●	Payment of any unpaid cash “make-good” awards;

●

Target cash incentive award for the fiscal year in which termination occurred; and

●

Vesting (or payment of cash in lieu of vesting at the election of the Company) of all unvested equity, including the target amount of shares subject to PBRSUs for performance periods for which achievement has not yet been determined (where the cash value, if applicable, of such unvested equity is determined using the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the 10 consecutive trading days ending on and including the trading day immediately prior to his or her termination date).

Mr. Fisher was selected by the Compensation Committee to participate in the Change-in-Control Severance Plan. With respect to the cash severance payment and cash payment referred to above, Mr. Fisher is entitled to receive a cash severance payment equal to two times the sum of his annual salary and target cash incentive award amount and a cash payment equal to two times the cost of 24 months of health insurance coverage.

Mr. Wenig and Mr. Schenkel

In connection with becoming CEO-designee and CFO-designee, respectively, of eBay, Mr. Wenig and Mr. Schenkel were provided change-in-control arrangements. These arrangements were entered into before the Company adopted the Change-In-Control Severance Plan and, as a result, neither participates in the Change-In-Control Severance Plan. Under these arrangements, Mr. Wenig and Mr. Schenkel is each entitled to receive the following if he is terminated without cause or resigns for good reason (as defined in his offer letter) in connection with a change-in-control and he signs and does not revoke a waiver of claims against the Company:

●	Cash severance payment equal to two times the sum of (i) his annual salary and (ii) his annual bonus calculated as the greater of either (a) 200% of annual salary (in the case of Mr. Wenig) or 100% of annual salary (in the case of Mr. Schenkel) or (b) target cash incentive award;

●

Prorated cash incentive award based on the actual performance with respect to the Company performance element for the full year; and

●

A cash payment equal to the value of all unvested equity, including the target amount of shares subject to PBRSUs for performance periods for which achievement has not yet been determined (where the value of such unvested equity is determined using the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the 10 consecutive trading days ending on and including the trading day immediately prior to his termination date).

Ms. Huber and Mr. Lawton

In connection with the commencement of their employment with the Company, Ms. Huber and Mr. Lawton were provided change-in-control arrangements. Because these arrangements were negotiated in connection with the commencement of their employment and the terms are set forth in their offer letters, neither participates in the Change-in-Control Severance Plan. The Compensation Committee believes it was necessary to provide these change-in-control arrangements in order to attract them to join the Company. Under these arrangements, Ms. Huber and Mr. Lawton is each entitled to receive the following if he or she is terminated without cause or resigns for good reason (as defined in his or her offer letter) in connection with a change-in-control and he or she signs and does not revoke a waiver of claims against the Company:

●	Cash severance payment equal to two times the sum of (i) his or her annualized salary and (ii) annual bonus calculated as the greater of either (a) 75% of annual salary (in the case of Mr. Lawton) or 100% of annual salary (in the case of Ms. Huber) or (b) target cash incentive award;
●	Prorated cash incentive award based on the actual performance with respect to the Company performance element for the full year;
●	All unpaid cash make-good payments; and
●	A cash payment equal to the value of all unvested equity, including the target amount of shares subject to PBRSUs for performance periods for which achievement has not yet been determined (where the value of such unvested equity is determined using the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the 10 consecutive trading days ending on and including the trading day immediately prior to his or her termination date).

Clawbacks

The Compensation Committee has adopted a clawback policy that covers each officer employed as a vice president or in a more senior position, and applies to incentive compensation, which includes any cash incentive award, equity award, or equity-based award paid or awarded to any covered employee during the period in which he or she is designated as a covered employee. For all covered employees, the occurrence of either of the following events is covered: (a) an action or omission by the covered employee that constitutes a material violation of the Company’s Code of Business Conduct; or (b) an action or omission by the covered employee that results in material financial or reputational harm to the Company. In addition, for covered employees that are employed as a senior vice president or in a more senior position or a vice president who is a member of the finance function, the following event is also covered: a material restatement of all or a portion of the Company’s financial statements that is the result of a supervisory or other failure by the covered employee.

Under the clawback policy, the Compensation Committee has the authority and discretion to determine whether an event covered by the policy has occurred and, depending on the facts and circumstances, may (but need not) require the full or partial forfeiture and/or repayment of any incentive compensation covered by the policy that was paid or awarded to a covered employee. The forfeiture and/or repayment may include all or any portion of the following:

●	Any incentive compensation that is greater than the amount that would have been paid to the covered employee had the covered event been known;
●	Any outstanding or unpaid incentive compensation, whether vested or unvested, that was awarded to the covered employee; and
●	Any incentive compensation that was paid to or received by the covered employee (including gains realized through the exercise

FURTHER CONSIDERATIONS FOR SETTING EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Role of Consultants in Compensation Decisions

Pay Governance serves as the Compensation Committee’s independent compensation consultant. It provides the Compensation Committee with advice and resources to help the Compensation Committee assess the effectiveness of the Company’s executive compensation strategy and programs. Pay Governance reports directly to the Compensation Committee, and the Compensation Committee has the sole power to terminate or replace Pay Governance at any time.

As part of its engagement, the Compensation Committee has directed Pay Governance to work with our Senior Vice President of Human Resources and other members of management to obtain information necessary for Pay Governance to form recommendations and evaluate management’s recommendations to the Compensation Committee. Pay Governance also meets with the Compensation Committee during its regular meetings, in executive session (where no members of management are present), and with the Compensation Committee chair and other members of the Compensation Committee outside of the Compensation Committee’s regular meetings. As part of its engagement in 2015, Pay Governance provided an environmental scan of executive compensation, evaluated the Company’s peer group composition, evaluated compensation levels at the peer group companies, assessed and proposed equity and cash compensation guidelines for various executive job levels, assessed compensation for the Company’s executive officers, advised on the framework for the Company’s long-term incentive awards, evaluated performance-based retention strategies, evaluated clawback policies, and assessed Board compensation. In connection with the Spin-Off, Pay Governance was retained by the Compensation Committee for a special assignment to form recommendations as to the compensation structures for Mr. Wenig as the CEO of the Company after the Spin-Off, as well as the compensation arrangements for the Former Executives who transitioned their responsibilities to Mr. Wenig and Mr. Schenkel and the other new leaders of the Company in connection with the Spin-Off. In connection with this special assignment, Pay Governance also formed recommendations and evaluated management’s recommendations regarding the compensation arrangements for those individuals and the handling of compensation transition for the Company’s plans given an expected Spin-Off date before the end of 2015. Pay Governance’s fees for consulting advice to the Compensation Committee for the year ended December 31, 2015 were $493,886. Pay Governance does not provide any other services to the Company.

In addition, Towers Watson & Co. (now Willis Towers Watson) provides compensation advisory services to management to help it develop and execute the Company’s overall compensation programs, including evaluating competitive compensation levels and programs for positions below executive officer, equity compensation, international compensation, and other issues as requested by eBay Human Resources.

Compensation Consultant Conflict of Interest Assessment

The Compensation Committee recognizes that it is essential to receive objective advice from its compensation advisors. To that end, the Compensation Committee closely examines the procedures and safeguards that its compensation advisor takes to ensure that its services are objective. The Compensation Committee has assessed the independence of Pay Governance pursuant to SEC rules and concluded that Pay Governance’s work for the Compensation Committee does not raise any conflict of interest.

The Compensation Committee also reviewed Towers Watson’s work for management pursuant to the SEC rules and concluded that Towers Watson’s work for management does not raise any conflicts of interest.

Peer Group Considerations

To set total compensation guidelines, the Compensation Committee reviews market data of companies that are comparable to eBay and that it believes compete with eBay for executive talent, business, and capital. The Compensation Committee reviews both specific data from public filings from peer group companies and general industry data for comparable technology companies that are included in proprietary third-party surveys. The Compensation Committee believes that it is necessary to consider this market data in making compensation decisions to attract and retain talent. The Compensation Committee also recognizes that at the executive level, we compete for talent against larger global companies, as well as smaller, non-public companies.

In deciding whether a company should be included in the peer group, the Compensation Committee generally considers the following screening criteria:

●	revenue;
●	market value;
●	historical growth rates;
●	primary line of business;
●	whether the company has a recognizable and well-regarded brand; and
●	whether we compete with the company for talent.

For each member of the peer group, one or more of the factors listed above was relevant to the reason for inclusion in the group, and, similarly, one or more of these factors may not have been relevant to the reason for inclusion in the group.

For 2015, the peer group consisted of the following companies:

Adobe Systems Incorporated	Intel Corporation
Alphabet Inc.	Intuit Inc.
Amazon.com, Inc.	MasterCard Incorporated
American Express Company	Microsoft Corporation
Capital One Financial Corp.	Symantec Corporation
Charles Schwab & Co., Inc.	Visa Inc.
Cisco Systems, Inc.	Yahoo! Inc.
Facebook, Inc.

To assess whether the peer group continues to reflect the markets in which we compete for executive talent, the Compensation Committee reviews the peer group each year with the assistance of its compensation consultant. As part of its annual review following the Spin-Off, the Compensation Committee determined that several financial services companies were no longer relevant peer group companies for eBay as a stand-alone company. In addition, the Compensation Committee added several new companies that the Compensation Committee believed were appropriate based on the peer group selection criteria noted above.

For 2016, the peer group will consist of the following companies:

Adobe Systems Incorporated	Microsoft Corporation
Alphabet Inc.	Netflix, Inc.
Amazon.com, Inc.	PayPal Holdings, Inc.
Cisco Systems, Inc.	salesforce.com, inc.
Electronic Arts Inc.	Symantec Corporation
Facebook, Inc.	The Priceline Group Inc.
Intel Corporation	Twitter, Inc.
Intuit Inc.	Yahoo! Inc.
LinkedIn Corporation

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Impact of Accounting and Tax Requirements on Compensation

We are limited by Section 162(m) of the Code to a deduction for federal income tax purposes of up to $1 million of compensation paid to our CEO and any of our other three most highly compensated executive officers, other than our CFO, in a taxable year. Compensation above $1 million may be deducted if, by meeting certain technical requirements, it can be classified as “performance-based compensation.” The eIP was last approved by our stockholders in 2015. Under the eIP, the portion of the awards attributable to Company performance is intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m). Certain grants under the 2008 Equity Incentive Award Plan, which was initially approved by our stockholders in 2008 and for which we are seeking stockholder approval for an amendment and restatement of the Plan at the 2016 annual meeting, are also intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation.” Although the Compensation Committee uses the requirements of Section 162(m) as a guideline, deductibility is not the sole factor it considers in assessing the appropriate levels and types of executive compensation. The Compensation Committee expressly retains the full discretion to forgo deductibility when the Compensation Committee believes it to be in the interests of the Company and our stockholders.

COMPENSATION DECISIONS RELATED TO THE SPIN-OFF – FORMER EXECUTIVES

During 2015, eBay successfully completed the spin-off of PayPal. In nine months, we accomplished what we set out to do, which was to establish two standalone public companies with world-class leadership teams and ensure a seamless transition during the process of separation. Our goal in 2015 was to align the compensation incentives for our executive officers with these goals. We are proud of the results that the Company achieved in 2015 and by the exemplary leadership demonstrated by former leadership team.

As noted in the introduction to this Compensation Discussion and Analysis, certain executive officers who departed eBay in connection with the Spin-Off are also deemed NEOs under SEC rules. These individuals are:

●	John Donahoe, Former President and CEO
●	Robert Swan, Former Senior Vice President, Finance and CFO
●	Daniel Schulman, President and CEO-designee, PayPal

Compensation Decisions Related to Mr. Donahoe and Mr. Swan

Mr. Donahoe and Mr. Swan led the efforts to execute the Spin-Off and did so in a manner designed to position both eBay and PayPal for success while also delivering business results. In addition, in connection with the Spin-Off announcement, Mr. Donahoe, working closely with the Board and the Compensation Committee, implemented an orderly succession plan whereby Mr. Wenig would become eBay’s CEO and Mr. Schulman would become PayPal’s CEO. In accordance with this plan, following the completion of the Spin-Off, Mr. Donahoe and Mr. Swan (as well as certain other members of Mr. Donahoe’s leadership team) transitioned their responsibilities to the new leaders of each business.

The Compensation Committee made decisions regarding the compensation arrangements for Mr. Donahoe and Mr. Swan that were designed to achieve a successful execution of the Spin-Off and encourage them to continue their employment with the Company through the Spin-Off. The Compensation Committee believed this was critical to driving the greatest value for the Company’s stockholders.

The Compensation Committee did not create any new compensation program or vehicle to achieve this goal. Instead, all of the elements of these arrangements were pursuant to the Company’s existing executive compensation programs; they followed a structure consistent with the Company’s pay-for-performance philosophy; and they were weighted heavily in favor of performance-based payouts. Specifically, Mr. Donahoe and Mr. Swan were:

●	Eligible to participate in ongoing compensation programs, consisting of:

○	An annual cash incentive award with targets and performance periods adjusted to take into account the Spin-Off
○	A grant of PBRSUs, RSUs and stock options (for a reduced amount compared to prior years) with PBRSU targets and performance periods adjusted to take into account the Spin-Off
○	The 2015 vesting opportunity for the 2012 PSUs adjusted to take into account performance through the Spin-Off (the 2016 vesting opportunity was cancelled because the Spin-Off occurred in 2015)

●	Severance arrangements consisting of:

●	A cash payment equal to two times the sum of their annual base salary and the annual cash incentive paid at the target amount
●	Acceleration of all RSU and stock option awards that were outstanding and unvested as of the termination of employment date and an extension of the period during which they could exercise vested stock options (12 months for stock options granted in 2012 and 36 months for stock options granted in 2013, 2014 and 2015)

A more detailed description of the awards, targets, performance periods and actual payouts is below. We also included a description of these arrangements in the Company’s proxy statement for its 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 23, 2015. The Compensation Committee believes Mr. Donahoe and Mr. Swan’s performance enabled a highly effective separation process and smooth management transition while also continuing to successfully oversee the day-to-day management of the Company and exceeded the goals set by the Compensation Committee.

2015 Business Results and Payouts for Mr. Donahoe and Mr. Swan

Annual Cash Incentive Award

2015 Annual Cash Incentive Goals and Plan Performance. In light of the Spin-Off, the Compensation Committee decided that the performance period for this element of compensation would be from the beginning of 2015 through the last completed quarter prior to the Spin-Off (the second quarter of 2015). The following table shows the goals and the Company’s actual performance:

		Minimum		Target		Maximum		Actual
	FX-neutral revenue	$8.47B		—		—		$9.17B
	Non-GAAP net income	$1.68B		$1.76B		$1.91B		$1.87B

The funding level under the plan ranged from 0% to 200% based on non-GAAP net income level (assuming the minimum FX-neutral revenue threshold was also met). Based on the Company’s results through the last completed quarter of 2015 prior to the Spin-Off (which was the second quarter of 2015), the award was funded at 175% of the target opportunity.

PBRSU Awards

For the 2014-2015 performance period under the PBRSU program, the Compensation Committee took a consistent approach and adjusted the performance period to end as of the end of the last completed quarter prior to the Spin-Off (which was the second quarter of 2015). The following table shows the goals and the Company’s actual performance:

			Minimum		Target		Maximum		Actual
	FX-neutral revenue		$26.50B		$28.49B		$31.34B		$27.51B
	Non-GAAP operating margin dollars		$6.87B		$7.23B		$7.81B		$7.00B
	Return on invested capital (modifier)		24.0%		—		—		27.8%

The funding level under the plan ranged from 0%-240%. Based on the Company’s results through the last completed quarter of 2015 prior to the Spin-Off, the award was funded at 84% of the target opportunity and the PBRSUs vested at the time of the Spin-Off.

For the 2015-2016 performance period under the PBRSU plan, the Compensation Committee decided to reduce the size of the target awards (compared to prior grants) to reflect the fact that Mr. Donahoe and Mr. Swan were not expected to be employed by the Company for the full two-year performance period and to select performance measures that were designed to measure the success of the Spin-Off. These performance measures consisted of:

●	Finalizing 2015 budgets for each business unit and securing Board approval of these budgets;
●	Finalizing capital structures for each business unit and securing Audit Committee approval of these capital structures;
●	Designing tax efficient mechanisms to move money as necessary;
●	Finalizing the material terms of the Spin-Off related operating agreement and other documents and securing Board approval of these terms;
●	Ensuring regulatory filings were made within timeframes consistent with public disclosures;
●	Establishing public company-ready leadership teams for both companies;
●	Completing other agreements and tasks necessary for the Spin-Off; and
●	Ensuring dividend is declared and Spin-Off occurs within timeframe consistent with public disclosures.

At the end of the performance period, the Compensation Committee reviewed the results achieved and determined whether each of the measures were met. The Compensation Committee determined that every measure had been met or exceeded, except that two leadership team roles for PayPal were filled by interim leaders as of the Spin-Off. The Compensation Committee did not give any specific weighting to these performance measures and evaluated performance in a holistic manner. Based on this review, the Compensation Committee determined that Mr. Donahoe and Mr. Swan achieved the Spin-Off success measures in an exemplary manner and approved funding this PBRSU plan at 200% of the target opportunity and the PBRSUs vested at the time of the Spin-Off.

PSU Awards

In 2012, Mr. Donahoe and Mr. Swan were granted one-time PSU awards. In light of the pending Spin-Off, the Compensation Committee decided to adjust the 2015 PSU vesting opportunity based on whether total shareholder return exceeded the median of the companies in the Company’s 2012 peer group measured for 2015 either (i) through the date immediately prior to the effective date of the Spin-Off (the “2015 performance test”) or (ii) for the cumulative performance period from 2012 through the date immediately prior to the effective date of the Spin-Off (the “cumulative performance test”). The Compensation Committee also decided to cancel the 2016 vesting opportunity because it was unlikely that Mr. Donahoe and Mr. Swan would continue to be employed by the Company at that time.

As of the end of the performance period, the Company’s total shareholder return exceeded the 2015 performance test, which resulted in the vesting of the 2015 tranche. Mr. Donahoe and Mr. Swan remain subject to the requirement to hold all after-tax stock derived from vested PSUs until December 31, 2017.

Compensation Decisions Related to Mr. Schulman

Mr. Schulman’s 2015 target compensation was determined in 2014 at the time he was hired by the Company to become the CEO-designee of PayPal and were disclosed in the Company’s 2015 Proxy Statement. At that time, the Compensation Committee conducted a comprehensive review of pay structures of CEOs at comparable public companies as well as internal pay at the Company. The Compensation Committee concluded that it was important to provide a total target compensation opportunity

for Mr. Schulman that was competitive with those of leaders at other major Internet and technology companies, with an annual compensation structure consistent with the Company’s pay-for-performance philosophy and weighted heavily in favor of performance-based compensation.

Until July 2015, Mr. Schulman’s annual salary and target cash incentive award remained unchanged. The amounts of his 2015 equity awards were consistent with those amounts determined and disclosed at the time of Mr. Schulman’s hiring by the Company. These awards had an aggregate target grant value of $11 million and followed the Company’s standard allocation of 50% PBRSUs, 30% RSUs and 20% stock options. The vesting schedule for the PBRSU followed the CEO vesting schedule (i.e., if the performance targets are met and the RSUs are granted, 100% would vest on the first anniversary of the grant date). In 2015, the Compensation Committee also decided to adjust the final amount of the payment Mr. Schulman was entitled to under the terms of his offer letter to recognize the full amount of the clawback repayments he was required to make to his former employer, which amount was paid by PayPal following the Spin-Off.

Following the Spin-Off, Mr. Schulman became PayPal’s CEO and PayPal assumed Mr. Schulman’s compensation arrangements. As a result, no payouts were made to Mr. Schulman for 2015 under eBay’s eIP or PBRSU program because Mr. Schulman was not employed by the Company as of the end of the relevant performance periods.

(5) The employment of each of Mr. Donahoe and Mr. Swan with the Company was terminated on July 17, 2015. At the time of the Spin-Off, Mr. Swan commenced service on the Board as a non-employee director. Please see the “Compensation of Directors” section for information regarding fees received by Mr. Swan for such Board service.

(6) Each of Mr. Donahoe’s and Mr. Swan’s 2014 compensation amounts have been revised to reflect the incremental fair value attributable to stock awards and option awards held by each of them that were modified in 2014. As disclosed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis included in the Company’s 2015 proxy statement as well as the Company’s December 18, 2014 Form 8-K, in anticipation of the Spin-Off, the Company adopted the Transition Success and Retention Program which provided for the accelerated vesting of all restricted stock unit and stock option awards that were outstanding and unvested as of the date of the termination of employment of certain departing executives in connection with the Spin-Off and the extension of the post-termination exercise period from 90 days to 36 months for option awards granted in 2013, 2014 and 2015. In addition, under the program, performance under all outstanding performance-based restricted stock unit awards was calculated in accordance with the terms of the plans under which such awards were granted, with the existing performance targets calculated based on the performance as of the quarter most recently completed prior to the Spin-Off, and the time-based vesting elements of any resulting performance-based restricted stock unit awards also accelerated. These modifications resulted in additional stock-based compensation expense for Mr. Donahoe and Mr. Swan of approximately $11.81 million and $6.23 million, respectively, and additional option-based compensation expense for Mr. Donahoe and Mr. Swan of approximately $4.41 million and $1.91 million, respectively.

(7) Mr. Schulman transitioned from President, PayPal and CEO-designee, PayPal to PayPal’s President and CEO on July 17, 2015. In connection with his transition, Mr. Schulman’s employment with the Company was terminated.

Bonus (Column (d))

Pursuant to their offer letters, in 2015, Mr. Fisher and Mr. Lawton received supplemental cash payments of $200,000 and $300,000, respectively.

Stock Awards (Column (e))

The amounts reported in the Stock Awards column represent the aggregate grant date fair value of time-based restricted stock units, or RSUs, and performance-based restricted stock units, or PBRSUs, granted to each of our NEOs in 2015, 2014, and 2013, respectively, calculated in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation. The grant date fair value of RSUs is determined using the fair value of our common stock on the date of grant, and the grant date fair value of PBRSUs is calculated based on the fair value of our common stock on the date of grant and probable outcome of the performance measures for the applicable performance period as of the date on which the PBRSUs are granted for accounting purposes. This estimated fair value for PBRSUs is different from (and lower than) the maximum value of PBRSUs set forth below. The equity incentive awards included in this column were all awarded under the Company’s 2008 Equity Incentive Award Plan, as amended and restated.

RSUs: For 2015, RSU awards were granted to Mr. Wenig, Mr. Schenkel, Mr. Fisher and Mr. Schulman in connection with the Company’s annual equity grant in April with a grant date value of $2,605,357 for Mr. Wenig, $984,236 for Mr. Schenkel, $1,013,201 for Mr. Fisher and $2,605,357 for Mr. Schulman. Further, pursuant to their offer letters, Mr. Wenig, Mr. Schenkel and Mr. Schulman received additional RSU awards in connection with the Spin-Off with a grant date value of $634,594 for Mr. Wenig, $1,459,507 for Mr. Schenkel and $634,594 for Mr. Schulman. Ms. Huber and Mr. Lawton were each granted “new-hire” RSU awards in connection with the commencement of their employment with the Company with a grant date value of $878,820. Further, pursuant to their offer letters, Ms. Huber and Mr. Lawton received a supplemental RSU award with a grant date value of $1,952,880 and $2,929,260, respectively. In January, RSU awards were granted to Mr. Donahoe and Mr. Swan with a grant date value of $2,178,221 and $1,136,166, respectively.

PBRSUs: PBRSUs provide an opportunity for our NEOs to receive grants of time-based RSUs if the performance measures for a particular time period — typically 24 months — are met. For a description of the performance measures for the 2015-2016 PBRSU awards, see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis — Elements of Our Executive Compensation Program — Equity Incentive Awards — PBRSU Program” above.

Table of Contents

For 2015, PBRSU awards were granted for accounting purposes to Mr. Wenig, Mr. Schenkel, Mr. Fisher, Mr. Donahoe, Mr. Swan and Mr. Schulman in connection with the Company’s annual equity grant in March with a grant date value of $4,821,976 for Mr. Wenig, $1,821,675 for Mr. Schenkel, $1,875,220 for Mr. Fisher, $4,078,877 for Mr. Donahoe, $2,127,483 for Mr. Swan and $4,527,667 for Mr. Schulman.

Pursuant to their offer letters, Ms. Huber and Mr. Lawton were each granted for accounting purposes “new-hire” PBRSU awards in connection with the commencement of their employment with the Company with a grant date value of $1,541,664 and $1,516,707, respectively.

Assuming the highest level of performance is achieved under the applicable performance measures for the 2015-2016 PBRSU awards or, in the case of Mr. Donahoe and Mr. Swan, the performance period ending prior to the Spin-Off, the maximum possible value of the PBRSU awards allocated to our NEOs and departing executives for such performance periods using the fair value of our common stock on the date that such awards were granted for accounting purposes is presented below:

Name		Maximum Value of PBRSUs (as of Grant Date for Accounting Purposes)
Mr. Wenig		$13,406,048
Mr. Schenkel		$9,946,217
Mr. Fisher		$4,225,848
Ms. Huber		$3,474,174
Mr. Lawton		$3,417,931
Mr. Donahoe		$8,157,754
Mr. Swan		$4,254,966

2015 GRANTS OF PLAN-BASED AWARDS

Table of Contents

Estimated Future Payouts Under Non-Equity Incentive Plan Awards (Annual Cash Incentive Plan) (Columns (d), (e), and (f))

The amounts reported under these columns relate to the possible awards under the annual cash incentive plan. In 2015, the total annual target incentive amounts under the annual cash incentive plan for the NEOs were as follows:

Mr. Wenig	200	%
Mr. Schenkel	100	%
Mr. Fisher	75	%
Ms. Huber	100	%
Mr. Lawton	75	%
Mr. Donahoe	200	%
Mr. Swan	125	%
Mr. Schulman	175	%

The total 2015 annual target incentive amounts under the annual cash incentive plan for the NEOs were allocated 75% to Company performance and 25% to individual performance. No funding occurs for the individual performance component of the annual cash incentive plan unless the minimum thresholds for both FX-neutral revenue and non-GAAP net income are met; for 2015, these thresholds were met.

Actual payouts to our NEOs under the annual cash incentive plan for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 are reflected in the Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation column in the 2015 Summary Compensation Table above. In connection with the Spin-Off, Mr. Donahoe and Mr. Swan received a payment equal to an annual bonus based on eligible earnings through July 17, 2015, the date their employment with the Company terminated, paid out at 175% of their respective target opportunity. Mr. Schulman did not receive a payout from the Company under the 2015 annual cash incentive plan because he was not employed through the end of the applicable performance period.

eIP - Company Performance: The amounts shown in the rows entitled “eIP – Company performance” reflect estimated payouts for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 under the annual cash incentive plan for the portion of the award payable based on the Company’s performance, as follows:

●	Threshold: The amounts shown in this column reflect the minimum payment levels if the minimum FX-neutral revenue and non-GAAP net income thresholds are met, which are 50% of the amounts shown under the Target column.
●	Target: The amounts shown in this column reflect the target payment levels if target non-GAAP net income is met.
●	Maximum: The amounts shown in this column represent the maximum amounts payable based on Company performance, which are 200% of the amounts shown under the Target column.

eIP - Individual Performance: The amounts shown in the rows entitled “eIP – Individual performance” reflect estimated payouts for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 under the annual cash incentive plan for the portion of the award payable based on individual performance, as follows:

●

Threshold: Although there are no thresholds under the annual cash incentive plan for individual performance, there is no payout for individual performance unless the minimum thresholds for both Company-wide FX-neutral revenue and non-GAAP net income are met. In addition, in circumstances where the Company’s financial performance is above its thresholds but below its targets, a modifier is applied to the individual performance component to reduce it proportionately based on the Company financial performance component.

Estimated Future Payouts Under Equity Incentive Plan Awards (PBRSUs) (Columns (g), (h), and (i))

The amounts shown reflect estimated payouts of PBRSUs for the 2015-2016 performance period, as follows:

●	Threshold: The amounts shown in this column reflect the awards if the minimum FX-neutral revenue and non-GAAP operating margin dollar thresholds are met and the lowest return on invested capital modifier is applied, and are 40% of the amounts shown under the Target column.
●	Target: The amounts shown in this column reflect the awards if the FX-neutral revenue and non-GAAP operating margin dollar amounts are at target, and the target return on invested capital modifier is applied.
●	Maximum: The amounts shown in this column reflect the awards if the maximum FX-neutral revenue and non-GAAP operating margin dollar amounts are met and the maximum return on invested capital modifier is applied, and are 240% of the amounts shown under the Target column for Mr. Wenig, Mr. Schenkel, Mr. Fisher, Ms. Huber and Mr. Lawton and Mr. Schulman and 200% of the amounts shown for Mr. Donahoe and Mr. Swan.

For further discussion of the PBRSUs, including their vesting schedules, see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis — Elements of Our Executive Compensation Program — Equity Incentive Awards — PBRSU Program” above.

Notwithstanding the above, with respect the PBRSUs for the 2015-2016 performance period granted for accounting purposes to Mr. Donahoe and Mr. Swan, the applicable targets and performance periods reflected the then anticipated Spin-Off. For further discussion of Donahoe’s and Mr. Swan’s PBRSUs, see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis - Compensation Decisions Related to the Spin-Off - Former Executives - 2015 Business Results and Payouts for Mr. Donahoe and Mr. Swan - PBRSU Awards” above.

Grant Date Fair Value (Column (m))

The grant date fair value of each option and RSU award was calculated using the fair value of our common stock on the date of grant. The estimated fair value of PBRSUs was calculated based on the fair value of our common stock on the date of grant and the probable outcome of the performance measures for the 2015-2016 performance period as of the date on which those PBRSUs were granted for accounting purposes. The assumptions used by the Company in calculating the grant date fair value of stock option grants are incorporated herein by reference to Note 16 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements in its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.
