ITEM 1.

CHANGES IN CONTROL OF REGISTRANT.

On October 3, 2002, holders of a majority of the common stock of PayPal, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“PayPal”), approved a proposed merger (the “Merger”) of Vaquita Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of eBay Inc. (“eBay”) with and into PayPal. The Merger was completed later that day. As a result of the Merger, PayPal became a wholly-owned subsidiary of eBay. In the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of PayPal common stock, par value $0.001 per share, was converted into, and became exchangeable for, 0.39 of a share (the “Exchange Ratio”) of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of eBay. In addition, eBay assumed all options outstanding under the PayPal stock option plans, in a number adjusted to reflect the Exchange Ratio. A copy of eBay’s press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
