2025 Proxy Statement

Letter to Our Stockholders

Dear Fellow Stockholders:

eBay’s shared values of transparency, responsibility, and business performance have supported our mission to empower people and create economic opportunity for all throughout 2024. As your Board of Directors, we are focused on creating long-term, sustainable value for stockholders. Drawing on your input, we are supporting our leadership team in realizing its vision and strategy for eBay, a marketplace that will continue to connect people and build communities to create economic opportunity for all. You are cordially invited to attend our 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of eBay Inc. (the “Annual Meeting”) to be held on June 25, 2025, at 8:00 a.m. Pacific Time. The matters expected to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting are described in detail in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and Proxy Statement.

Board Election

We are soliciting proxies for the election at our Annual Meeting of 11 individuals to serve as directors of eBay until the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Board Refreshment

Our Board is guided by the principles that our outside directors should have an average tenure of ten years or less and that the addition of new directors over time to “refresh” our Board is desirable. Of our 10 current non-employee directors, six joined our Board in 2020 or later and two joined in 2024, Bill Nash and Zane Rowe.

Engaging Virtually

This year will be our sixth virtual annual meeting. We believe hosting the meeting virtually improves your ability to attend and participate while saving you the time and expense of travel. In our virtual meeting, participants join via a website where they can listen to the speakers, view any presentations, submit questions and comments, hear the Company’s responses, and vote their shares electronically. We recommend that participants log in at least 15 minutes prior to the start of the meeting.

Thank you for your continued investment in eBay. We are proud to represent stockholder interests in this great Company and look forward to meeting with you at our Annual Meeting.

Sincerely,

Your Board of Directors

Executive Compensation Highlights

The objectives of our executive compensation program are to:

Align compensation with
our business objectives,
performance and
stockholder interests

Motivate executive officers
to enhance short-term
results and long-term
stockholder value

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

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

The following is a selection of notable highlights of our executive compensation program.

	How We Pay Our CEO			This graphic illustrates the predominance of equity incentives and performance-based components in Mr. Iannone’s 2024 target pay mix. Mr. Iannone’s compensation is highly weighted to Company performance. Over 95% of his 2024 target pay mix is based on Company performance goals or is otherwise subject to Company stock price performance.
	Compensation Practices			We align executive compensation with the interests of our stockholders by emphasizing pay-for-performance and weighting equity more heavily than cash in our total compensation mix, maintaining meaningful stock ownership requirements, and providing a majority of total compensation in the form of performance-based compensation. Our target pay mix significantly favors equity, including for Mr. Iannone, whose 2024 target pay mix consists of 86% equity and 14% salary and annual cash incentive.
				We promote a balance of short-term and long-term motivations through the design and administration of our compensation programs, including by having multiple performance measures, caps on incentive payments, overlapping long-term performance periods for performance-based restricted stock unit (“PBRSU”) awards and clawback policies that exceed Nasdaq and SEC requirements. We adhere to compensation best practices, with compensation benchmarked at or around the 50th percentile of our peer group, the engagement of an independent compensation consultant and limited perquisites for executive officers that are not available to all employees.

WHAT WE DO			WHAT WE DON’T DO
Align executive compensation with the interests of our stockholders • Pay-for-performance emphasized • Majority of total compensation comprises performance-based compensation • Equity/cash compensation mix significantly favors equity • Stock ownership guidelines			No tax gross-ups for change in control benefits No automatic “single trigger” acceleration of equity awards upon a change in control No repricing or buyout of underwater stock options without stockholder approval No hedging and pledging transactions for the Board or executive officers
Avoid excessive risk-taking • Multiple performance measures, caps on incentive payments, and overlapping long-term performance periods for PBRSU awards • Clawback policies that exceed Nasdaq and SEC requirements
Adhere to compensation best practices • Target compensation at or around the 50th percentile of peer group • Independent compensation committee and compensation consultant • Limited perquisites for executive officers that are not available to all employees

TABLE OF CONTENTS

2025 Proxy Statement 7

Proposal 1: Election
of Directors

Board of Directors

At the Annual Meeting, 11 directors will be elected to serve for a one-year term.

We are seeking the election of 11 directors to our Board. Each of the nominees is currently a member of the Board, and each of the nominees has been elected previously by stockholders, except for Bill Nash, who joined the Board on September 18, 2024. Mr. Nash further enhances the Board’s composition with his significant experience in retail, ecommerce, and technology development. His experience as the CEO of CarMax deepens the knowledge and experience of our Board and will aid its focus on eBay’s sustainable long-term growth.

Each of the nominees has consented to serving and being named as a nominee in this Proxy Statement and to serving as a director if elected. 10 of the 11 nominees are currently independent directors under the listing standards of Nasdaq and our Governance Guidelines of the Board (the “Governance Guidelines”). If elected at the Annual Meeting, each of the nominees will serve a one-year term until our 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and will hold office until their successor is elected and qualified, or until their earlier death, resignation, retirement, or removal.

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 number of shares voted “FOR” a director nominee must exceed the number of votes cast “AGAINST” that nominee. The Company has a resignation policy and bylaw provision that would apply to any nominee who does not receive the vote required for election. For more details, please see “Corporate Governance—Governance Policies and Practices—Majority Vote Standard for Election of Directors and—Director Resignation Provisions for Uncontested Elections.”

Nomination Process

Our Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee (“CGNC”) reviews potential director nominees from several sources, such as management and stockholder recommendations, and is authorized to retain consultants or search firms to identify potential director candidates. In 2024, our CGNC engaged a third-party search firm, Spencer Stuart, to assist in identifying and evaluating potential director candidates. Our CGNC and Board have evaluated each of the director nominees recommended by our Board against the factors and principles eBay uses to select director nominees. Based on this evaluation, our CGNC and Board have concluded that it is in the best interests of eBay and its stockholders for each of the proposed nominees to serve as a director of eBay. The Board believes that each of these nominees possesses the key experience and skills that the Board desires for eBay, has a strong track record of being responsible stewards of stockholders’ interests and brings 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 complex organizations.

•

Each nominee has highly relevant professional experience as managers and leaders and across a variety of innovative fields relevant to eBay, such as the technology, ecommerce, finance, products and media fields.

•

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

•

Each nominee has experience and expertise that complements the skill sets of the other nominees.

•

Each nominee is highly engaged and able to commit the time and resources needed to provide active oversight of eBay and its management. During 2024 our Board held five meetings, and each then-serving Board member attended at least 75% of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board and the committees on which that member served.

•

All of our nominees serve on two or fewer other public company boards except for one nominee who serves on three. None of our nominees who is currently an executive officer of a publicly-traded company serves on any other public company boards beyond eBay and the publicly-traded company where they serve as an executive officer.

In addition to these attributes, in each nominee’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. For additional information regarding the CGNC’s approach to Board refreshment and nominations, please see “Corporate Governance—Board Composition and Independence—Ongoing Assessment of Composition—Nominating Process.”

Corporate Governance

Highlights

eBay is committed to transparency and accountability, as demonstrated by the following governance features:

Stockholder Rights

Our Board is committed to good corporate governance and believes in maintaining policies and practices that serve the interests of all stockholders, including governance provisions that protect and empower stockholders.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

2025 Proxy Statement 15

Board Composition and Independence

The Board has developed a set of guiding principles relating to Board membership, which are set forth in our Governance Guidelines. The Board believes that in light of the rapidly changing environment in which the Company operates, the Board must be comprised of members with highly relevant professional experience. In addition, although the Board does not have term limits, the Board believes that a certain amount of director turnover is to be expected and is desirable.

Ongoing Assessment of Composition

Commitment to Board Refreshment

The Board is guided by the principles that our outside directors should have an average tenure of ten years or less and that the addition of new directors over time to “refresh” our Board is desirable. Our Board has shown an ongoing commitment to Board refreshment and to having highly qualified, independent perspectives in the boardroom. Of our 10 current non-employee directors, six joined the Board in 2020 or later. In February 2024 and September 2024, we recruited two additional independent directors, Zane Rowe and Bill Nash, respectively. Mr. Rowe brings extensive experience in business strategy, corporate finance and technology development, having worked with some of today’s leading global technology organizations. His expertise helps eBay further its strategy and aid in its focus on delivering long-term stockholder value. Mr. Nash further strengthens the Board with his significant experience in retail, ecommerce, and technology development. His experience as the CEO of CarMax deepens the knowledge and experience of our Board and will contribute to eBay’s focus on sustainable long-term growth.

Our Board members have an average tenure of 5.4 years, which shows a balance between the institutional knowledge of our longer-tenured directors and the fresh perspectives brought by our newer directors. While the Board does not have formal term limits for its directors, it generally seeks to maintain an average tenure of ten years or less for its non-employee directors. Our Board believes that, in addition to strategic succession planning, refreshment enhances the breadth of skills and experience of the Board and helps align Board skills and experience with our long-term strategy.

Nominating Process

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

Director Selection Principles

The CGNC considers a number of factors in determining director nominees that it recommends to the Board, both in connection with the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders and to fill Board vacancies. The CGNC reviews each candidate relative to the following principles, as set forth in our Governance Guidelines.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

16 2025 Proxy Statement

The Board then determines whether to appoint recommended director nominees, in the case of Board vacancies, and whether to present recommended director nominees to the Company’s stockholders for election, in the case of the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders.

Breadth of Skills and Experience

In planning for succession, the CGNC considers the overall mix of skills and experience of the Board and the types of skills and experience desirable for future Board members, in light of the Company’s business and long-term strategy. Experiences, qualifications, skills and attributes prioritized by the CGNC include the following:

				Technology industry experience						Entrepreneurship
				Retail and e-commerce industry experience						Transactional experience, including mergers and acquisitions
				Strategy experience in either established or growth markets						Management experience, including talent and culture development
				Investment and finance experience, including expertise gained as a chief financial officer or other sophisticated experience						Product, marketing and media experience
				Leadership experience, including public company governane						Cybersecurity experience, including technical expertise or other relevant experience

Board Background

In addition to skills and experience, our CGNC considers a broad range of competencies, viewpoints, experience and characteristics in evaluating potential Board members, including age, national origin, gender and race. When searching for new directors, as set forth in our Governance Guidelines, the CGNC takes a holistic approach to evaluating potential Board members and actively seeks out candidates with a range of perspectives and backgrounds to include in the pool from which Board nominees are chosen. Our current Board composition includes four women and four directors who self-identify as members of racial or ethnic minority groups. The average age of our Board members is 55.9 years.

Stockholder Nominations and Proxy Access

Stockholders wishing to submit recommendations or director nominations pursuant to the advance notice procedures set forth in our bylaws for our 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders should submit their recommendations or nominations to the CGNC in care of our Corporate Secretary. Such nominations should be in accordance with the time limitations, procedures, and requirements described under “Questions and Answers About the Proxy Materials and Our 2025 Annual Meeting—May I propose actions for consideration at next year’s Annual Meeting or nominate individuals to serve as directors?” below.

Our “Proxy Access” bylaw provision 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 holders of at least 3% of eBay common stock, which can consist of up to 20 stockholders, holding such stock continuously for at least three years, with the right to nominate two individuals or 20% of the Board, whichever is greater, for election at an annual meeting of stockholders. Our bylaws provide details regarding the timeframes and procedures that must be followed and other requirements that must be met to nominate directors through this process.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

2025 Proxy Statement 17

Director Independence

The rules of Nasdaq require listed companies to have a board of directors with at least a majority of independent directors. In addition, in accordance with the rules of Nasdaq, the Board limits membership on all of its committees, including the Audit Committee, the CHCC, and the CGNC, to independent directors.

Our Board has determined that 10 of our 11 director nominees are independent under the listing standards of Nasdaq and under eBay’s Governance Guidelines. Jamie Iannone, who joined the Board on and has served as our President and Chief Executive Officer since April 27, 2020, is not an independent director.

In making this determination, our Board considered the current and prior relationships that each director has with eBay and other facts and circumstances the Board deemed relevant in determining their independence, including the information each of our directors is required to provide each year regarding those relationships, as well as relevant family relationships, that may impact independence. There are no family relationships among any of the director nominees, directors or any of our executive officers. Our Governance Guidelines require any director who has previously been determined to be independent to inform the Chair of the Board and our Corporate Secretary of any change in circumstance that may cause their status as an independent director to change. Each member of our Board is required to provide information to supplement the Company’s own due diligence to assist the Board in determining whether the director is independent under the listing standards of Nasdaq and our Governance Guidelines, and whether members of our Audit Committee and our CHCC satisfy additional 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.

Board Leadership Structure and Effectiveness

Board Leadership

In accordance with our bylaws and our Governance Guidelines, our Board appoints our CEO, and our non-employee directors elect our Chair of the Board. The Chair of the Board is elected annually. Reflecting the Board’s longstanding policy, our Governance Guidelines require that the roles of Chair of the Board and CEO be held by separate individuals. Key considerations for this policy are the Board’s belief that the separation of the offices of the Chair of the Board and CEO has been appropriate to aid in the Board’s oversight of management, while also allowing our CEO to focus primarily on management responsibilities. Under our bylaws, the Chair of the Board presides over all meetings of the Board, and, where a chair of the meeting is not designated by the Board, meetings of stockholders, and has the power to request eBay to call special meetings of the Board and stockholders. As the elected leader of our Board, the Chair of the Board is influential in setting Board meeting agendas, long-term planning of Board discussions, director succession plans and the allocation of risk oversight among the Board and its standing committees. In most instances, our Chair is the independent director who engages with stockholders, when such direct engagement is deemed appropriate. Mr. Pressler has served as our Chair of the Board since June 2020.

Any change from the current structure of having a Chair separate from the CEO would be at the discretion of the Board, though the Board may seek input from stockholders if a change is contemplated in the future. Any such change would be disclosed publicly, including on our investor relations website and in our annual proxy statement. In the event that the Board determines it to be more effective to have a single individual act as both Chair and CEO, our Governance Guidelines require the appointment of a lead independent director, with the responsibilities set forth in our Governance Guidelines.

Committee Structure

Our Board has five principal committees: the Audit Committee, the CHCC, the CGNC, the Risk Committee and the Technology Committee.

The purpose of our Board committees is to help the Board effectively and efficiently fulfill its responsibilities without eliminating the oversight responsibilities of our Board as a whole. Each committee meets regularly and has a written charter that has been approved by the Board. In addition, a member of each committee periodically reports to the Board on any significant matters discussed by the committee. The Board and each of its committees may retain outside advisors of its choosing at the Company’s expense. Neither the Board nor any committee is required to obtain management’s consent to retain outside advisors.

Board and Committee Effectiveness

We believe in strong corporate governance practices that provide meaningful rights to our stockholders and ensure Board accountability.

Principal features of our Governance Guidelines are summarized below along with certain other of our governance practices.

Board Annual Self-Evaluations

It is important that our Board and its committees are performing effectively and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. The Board and each committee annually evaluate their effectiveness in fulfilling their obligations. As part of this annual self-evaluation, directors can provide feedback on the performance of other directors. The chair of the Board leads the Board in its review of the results of the annual self-evaluations.

Board Oversight

Strategy Oversight

One of the Board’s key responsibilities is overseeing the Company’s strategy, and the Board has deep experience and expertise in the area of strategy development and insights into the most important issues facing the Company. Setting the strategic course of the Company involves a high level of constructive engagement between management and the Board.

The Board regularly discusses eBay’s key priorities, taking into consideration and adjusting the Company’s long-term strategy with global economic, customer and other significant trends, as well as changes in the e-commerce industry and the regulatory landscape.

•

At least annually, the Board conducts a review with management of the Company’s long-term strategic plans, its annual operating plan and capital structure.

•

Throughout the year and at Board meetings, the Board receives information and updates from management and engages with senior leaders with respect to the Company’s strategy, including the strategic plans for our businesses and the competitive environment.

•

eBay’s independent directors also hold regularly scheduled executive sessions for both Board and committee meetings without Company management present, at which strategy is discussed.

•

The Board, CGNC or CHCC, as applicable, also regularly discuss and review investor and proxy advisory firm feedback on strategy.

Management Succession Planning and Workplace Culture

The Board recognizes the importance of effective executive leadership to eBay’s success. The Board conducts a review of management at least annually that includes succession plans for our senior leadership positions. In conducting its review, the Board considers, among other factors, organizational and operational needs, competitive challenges, leadership/management potential and development and interim successors for emergency situations.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

2025 Proxy Statement 23

Board Connection to eBay Workplace Culture

The Board is intently focused on fostering a culture of leadership, development and excellence.

Our workplace culture is linked to eBay’s mission of empowering people and creating economic opportunity for all. This shared purpose has influenced our culture for 30 years and motivates our employees every day. We are committed to our eBay DNA of empowering our community, innovating boldly, delivering with impact, being for everyone and acting with integrity. The Board views eBay’s workplace culture as an asset and oversees eBay’s employee engagement and other workforce development programs.

Enterprise Risk Oversight

eBay faces economic, financial, legal and regulatory, operational and other risks, such as the impact of competition and sustainability risks, including social, environmental and reputational factors that are integral to the strength of our brands. The Board recognizes that our ability to manage risk can influence whether we achieve our strategic and operating objectives. The Board, as a whole and through its committees, has responsibility for the oversight of risk management, while management is responsible for the day-to-day management of the risks that we face. 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. The Board also influences risk management by fostering a corporate culture of integrity and risk awareness.

Risk Management

Risk management is embedded across our businesses, with oversight of our company-wide initiatives by the Board and its committees as illustrated above. Our approach to risk management is designed to identify, assess, prioritize and manage risk exposures that could affect our ability to execute our corporate strategy and fulfill our business objectives. Our ERM program enables the Board to establish a mutual understanding with management on the effectiveness of the Company’s risk management practices and capabilities, including with division of responsibilities for reviewing the Company’s risk exposure and risk tolerance, tracking emerging risks and ensuring proper escalation of certain key risks for periodic review by the Board and its committees.

Management collaborates internally, periodically engages independent advisors to update risk assessments and works across the organization to help our business groups and functions identify emerging risks and trends. Short- and long-term risks are evaluated regularly, and senior management is responsible for prioritizing risks and developing a culture of risk-aware practices to identify and manage the appropriate level of risk consistent with the Company’s business strategy. Risks are mapped based on probability, immediacy and potential magnitude, and eBay’s risk management strategies and Board oversight processes are designed accordingly. Examples of key risks encompassed by the ERM program include, without limitation, geopolitics, fraud and transaction losses, and regulatory compliance.

On a regular basis, the Board and its committees engage with our senior management and other members of management on risk as part of broad strategic and operational discussions that encompass interrelated risks, as well as on a risk-by-risk basis. Our Board and its committees engage on various risk topics encompassed by our ERM program, as well as other relevant risks eBay faces. In 2024, the Board formed a Technology Committee that will assist the Board in its oversight and review and discuss with management risk exposures related to cybersecurity, data management and site availability, which are topics that were previously overseen by our Risk Committee. Our Chief Compliance Officer periodically reviews with the Risk Committee the major risks under its oversight and the steps management has taken to detect, monitor and actively manage those risks within the agreed risk tolerance. Likewise, our Chief Sustainability Officer shares with the CGNC emerging trends, risks and strategies relating to sustainability. Our Audit Committee has an annual cadence to review the risks included in its remit, including quarterly meetings regarding ethics programs with our Chief Ethics Officer. The CHCC engages with our Chief People Officer several times per year regarding the most relevant risks and opportunities concerning our workforce, including an annual review of the Company’s risk assessment of its compensation policies and practices for its employees, assesses whether such policies and practices encourage excessive risk-taking and evaluates policies and practices that could mitigate such risks. The executives responsible for managing a particular risk (in the case of cybersecurity risks, our Chief Technology Officer and Chief Information Security Officer) may also report to the full Board or its committees, as appropriate, on how the risk is being managed and progress towards agreed mitigation goals.

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures, including within our cybersecurity incident response plans, designed for analysis of potentially material events covered by our risk management framework, including cybersecurity incidents or threats.

At eBay, our core value—“Be for Everyone”—fuels our commitment to diversity, inclusion, and belonging. We strive to create a workplace where every employee feels valued, empowered, and able to bring their best, most innovative selves to work. We believe this commitment fosters creativity, strengthens engagement, and cultivates a deep sense of belonging, which we believe is essential for driving corporate performance, achieving business goals, and delivering stockholder value. As a global marketplace connecting millions of buyers and sellers, our purpose is to build communities and create economic opportunity for all. By pursuing a holistic strategy, we are not just embracing diverse perspectives and fostering an inclusive culture, but also aiming to enhance innovation, deepening our understanding of customers, and strengthening the connections that drive our business. We believe that fostering belonging and reflecting the diversity of our global community helps us attract and retain consumers, expand the breadth of inventory on our Marketplace platforms, and create long-term value for our stockholders. We believe transparency about our journey, progress and lessons learned are important.

eBay Impact: Our Focus on Sustainable Commerce and Economic Empowerment

eBay is a global commerce leader that connects people and builds communities to create economic opportunity for all. eBay’s Impact team supports this goal by focusing its efforts on several key areas identified in our sustainability materiality assessment, including Economic Opportunity, Sustainable Commerce, Culture & Workforce and maintaining a Trusted Marketplace. Our materiality assessment is facilitated by an outside advisor and updated every three years to ensure that our Impact programs continue to reflect the issues we believe to be the most important for eBay and its business. As noted above, the CGNC receives periodic updates on eBay sustainability initiatives, reporting, investor feedback and third-party ratings.

Many of our Impact initiatives involve cross-company collaboration on goal setting, impact measurement and reporting, which is published annually on the eBay Impact section of our Company website. eBay formed the ESG Disclosure Steering Committee to oversee our disclosure strategies, to comply with existing and expected ESG regulations in the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union and other locations, and to manage ESG risks and capitalize on opportunities. This committee is composed of key members of our Finance and Legal teams. Additionally, eBay formed the Climate and Sustainability Committee to better align on workstreams supporting our transition to a low-carbon economy. This committee includes members of teams such as Core Technology, Enterprise Management Resources, Procurement, Shipping, Sustainability and more. Both committees are chaired by our Chief Sustainability Officer. We are currently focusing our efforts on preparing for the transition to regulatory ESG reporting required by some jurisdictions in which we operate, and coordinating our net-zero strategy.

Through the combination of the ERM program and our Impact initiatives, we believe eBay appropriately addresses the spectrum of risks facing our businesses, including material issues identified by the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board industry standards as being applicable to companies in our industry.

The table below provides a brief overview of the eBay Impact initiatives as well as recent highlights.

Empowering communities through thoughtful commerce

EBAY IMPACT INITIATIVE	OVERVIEW	PROGRESS
Economic Opportunity	As champions of inclusive entrepreneurship for everyone, eBay helps small businesses grow and thrive globally.	In 2024, small businesses contributed approximately 70% of GMV in our three largest markets by demand (U.S., U.K. and Germany).
eBay for Charity	eBay for Charity empowers buyers and sellers to support charities around the world. We enable buyers to purchase from or donate to their favorite organizations and sellers to contribute a portion of their sales to selected non-profits. eBay for Charity partners with charity organizations globally to help them reach their fundraising goals.	In 2024, eBay for Charity partnered with GLIDE, Elton John AIDS Foundation, World Central Kitchen, 6 Degrees, Deckaid, and Homes for Our Troops, amongst others. In 2024, more than $192 million was raised by buyers and sellers to support charities via eBay for Charity.
eBay Foundation	eBay Foundation helps to support economically vibrant and thriving communities, including by partnering with nonprofit organizations that are addressing and removing barriers to entrepreneurship for people who identify with historically excluded groups. We also support our employees with meaningful giving and volunteering opportunities.	Since 1998, eBay Foundation has provided nearly $140 million in total giving, which has supported over 1,800 unique nonprofit organizations. In 2024, eBay Foundation granted nearly $18 million to support historically excluded entrepreneurs and our employee gift-matching program.
Sustainable Commerce	As a pioneer of recommerce and circular commerce, we strive to sustain the future of our customers, our company and our planet by promoting the buying and selling of pre-loved or refurbished items as well as other sustainable commerce initiates. We help lead the way forward as partners with our global community. We also continue to embrace best practices at our facilities to reduce our environmental footprint and reinforce our commitment to operating with integrity.	Through selling pre-loved and refurbished items on our Marketplace in 2024, eBay helped avoid nearly 1.6 million metric tons of carbon emissions that would have been expected to result from the production of comparable new goods. eBay remains committed to our target of reducing 90% of carbon emissions from our operations (scope 1 & 2) by 2030 from a 2019 baseline, and have increased our target to reducing 27.5% from our value chain (scope 3) in the same timeframe to be in line with our net-zero target for 2045. eBay also achieved its 100% renewable energy goal for eBay-controlled data centers and offices in 2024, one year early.
Trusted Marketplace	eBay has created a trusted, transparent marketplace that is based on the strong ethical values we strive to follow as a business.	Since 2020, eBay has regularly published a Global Transparency Report in order to openly communicate its trust and safety policies and enforcement of those policies.

Stockholder Engagement

Why We Engage

Our directors and management are committed to maintaining a robust dialogue with stockholders. We routinely engage with stockholders throughout the year in order to:

•

Provide transparency into our business, our performance and our governance and compensation practices

•

Discuss with our stockholders the issues that are important to them, hear their expectations for us and share our views

How We Engage with Stockholders

Governance Policies and Practices

Contacting the Board or Individual Directors

Stockholders may contact the Board, individual directors or groups of directors (such as all of our independent directors) at the following address:


				c/o Corporate Secretary, eBay Inc., 2025 Hamilton Avenue, San Jose, California 95125

TABLE OF CONTENTS

28 2025 Proxy Statement

The CGNC 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 CGNC has instructed our Corporate Secretary to review correspondence directed to the Board and its principal committees. It is at the Corporate Secretary’s discretion to determine whether to forward items solely related to complaints by users with respect to ordinary course of business, customer service and satisfaction issues, or matters the Corporate Secretary deems to be of a commercial or frivolous nature or otherwise inappropriate for the Board’s or its committees’ consideration.

Governance Documents

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

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. This means that the numbers of shares voted “FOR” a director nominee must exceed the number of votes cast “AGAINST” that nominee. “ABSTAIN” votes and broker non-votes will be counted as present for purposes of this vote but are not counted as votes cast. As a result, abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the vote for Proposal 1: Election of Directors.

Director Resignation Provisions for Uncontested Elections

If a nominee who is serving as a director (an “Incumbent Director”) fails to receive the required number of votes for election in accordance with our bylaws in an uncontested election, then the Incumbent Director would, in accordance with Delaware law, continue to serve on the Board as a “holdover director” until (i) their successor is elected and qualified, (ii) they are re-nominated after consideration by the CGNC as described further below, or (iii) their earlier death, resignation, retirement, or removal pursuant to our bylaws.

Pursuant to our Governance Guidelines, in nominating any Incumbent Director for election, our Board considers whether that director has tendered an irrevocable resignation effective upon the Board’s acceptance in the event the director fails to receive the required vote to be elected. Similarly, our Board also considers whether any nominee who is not an Incumbent Director has agreed to tender such a resignation prior to being nominated for election. Each of our 10 independent director nominees currently serving on the Board has submitted such an irrevocable resignation.

Under our bylaws, in an uncontested election, if an Incumbent Director does not receive the required vote for election, within 90 days after the date of the certification of the election results (subject to an additional 90-day period in certain circumstances) the CGNC, or another committee of the Board consisting solely of independent directors, 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. In reaching its decision, the CGNC or applicable other 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, the criteria considered by the CGNC in evaluating potential director candidates, the director’s contributions and length of service to eBay, and the size and holding period of director’s stock ownership in the Company. The CGNC’s or applicable other 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, then they will not become a member of the Board.

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 (which for executive officers includes unvested RSUs) valued at three times their annual base salary (six times in the case of our CEO). For the executive officers, these guidelines are initially calculated using the executive officer’s annual base salary as of the date the person is first appointed as an executive officer. These guidelines are then recalculated each January 1st immediately following the third anniversary of the most recent calculation. In addition, these guidelines will also be recalculated as of the date on which an executive officer’s pay grade changes. Our non-employee directors are required to achieve ownership of eBay common stock valued at five times the value of the annual retainer for service on the Board (not including any additional retainers for committee service). For the non-employee directors, these guidelines are initially calculated as of the director’s election to the Board and are then recalculated each June 1st thereafter.

Each of our executive officers is required to retain 50% of any shares of eBay common stock received (net of any shares sold or withheld to pay any applicable exercise price or satisfy tax withholding obligations) as the result of the exercise, vesting or payment of any eBay equity awards granted to the executive officer, until the stock ownership guidelines are met. Each of our non-employee directors is required to retain 25% of the shares received (net of any shares sold or withheld to pay any applicable exercise price or satisfy tax obligations) as the result of the exercise, vesting or payment of any eBay equity awards granted to the non-employee director, until the stock ownership guidelines are met. As of December 31, 2024, all of our executive officers and directors were in compliance with the stock ownership guidelines.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

2025 Proxy Statement 29

Our stock ownership guidelines can be found on our investor relations website at https://investors.ebayinc.com/corporate-governance/governance-documents.

The stock ownership levels of our executive officers and directors as of April 15, 2025, calculated in accordance with the rules of the SEC, are set forth in the section entitled “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management” below.

Insider Trading Policy

We have adopted an Insider Trading Policy governing the purchase, sale and other dispositions of our securities that applies to our directors, officers, employees, consultants and contractors. We also follow procedures for the repurchase of our own securities. Our insider trading policy prohibits the trading of our securities while in possession of material non-public information, establishes blackout periods and, in some cases, pre-clearance procedures, wherein certain designated employees who are or may be regularly exposed to material non-public information are prohibited from trading in our securities, and requires that all Rule 10b5-1 trading plans comply with applicable law. We believe that our Insider Trading Policy and repurchase procedures are reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and listing standards applicable to us. A copy of our Insider Trading Policy was filed as Exhibit 19.01 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

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.

Option Granting

We have a longstanding practice of granting all annual equity awards on April 1st of every year, which is generally during a trading blackout period, and typically granting any new hire awards on the 15th of the month following the eligible employee’s start date. There were no stock option grants during the 2024 calendar year. The CHCC may consider whether or not to use stock options as part of the long-term equity incentive component of the executive compensation program in the future but has determined not to include stock options at this time. We may consider adopting an official option granting policy if we decide to grant additional options in the future.

Our executive officers are not permitted to choose the grant date for their individual equity awards. In prior years when we granted stock options or similar awards, we followed our practice of granting annual awards on April 1st each year and typically granting new hire awards on the 15th of the month following an eligible employee’s start date. Our practice is to not time the grant of stock options or similar awards based on the release of material nonpublic information that is likely to result in changes to the price of our common stock, such as a significant positive or negative earnings announcement, and to not time the public release of such information based on stock option grant dates. During the 2024 calendar year, we did not time the disclosure of material nonpublic information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation.

Clawback Policies

In 2012, we implemented changes to the eBay Incentive Plan and the Company’s equity incentive award plans to provide that awards made under those plans are subject to a clawback provision.

In 2014, the CHCC adopted a clawback policy applicable to employees with a title of Vice President or above.

In 2023, the CHCC adopted a supplemental clawback policy applicable to our executive officers that complies with the new SEC rules issued in accordance with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) and applicable Nasdaq listing rules that took effect in December 2023.

Our 2014 clawback policy and supplemental clawback policy are discussed in further detail under the section entitled “Severance and Change in Control Arrangements with Executive Officers and Clawbacks—Clawbacks” below.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

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 on the good judgment, ethical standards, and personal integrity of each director, executive officer, and employee. Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics requires that directors, executive officers, and other employees disclose actual or potential conflicts of interest and recuse themselves from related decisions. To better protect us and our stockholders, we regularly review our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and related policies to ensure that they provide clear guidance to our directors, executive officers, and employees. Our Audit Committee reviews and approves the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, as well as our programs that are designed to ensure compliance therewith. Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics may be found on our investor relations website at https://investors.ebayinc.com/corporate-governance/governance-documents/.

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

TABLE OF CONTENTS

30 2025 Proxy Statement

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. 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 “Governance Policies and Practices—Certain Transactions with Directors and Officers” below.

Corporate Hotline

We have established a corporate hotline that is operated by a third party and allows any employee, business partner, vendor and others to confidentially and anonymously (where legally permissible) submit a complaint about any accounting, internal control, auditing, or other matters of concern. Anyone can email askethics@ebay.com; or submit an anonymous inquiry by calling the eBay Integrity Helpline at 844-945-0216.

Certain Transactions with Directors and Officers

Our Audit Committee reviews and approves all transactions with related persons that are required to be disclosed in this section of our Proxy Statement.

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% 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. Since January 1, 2024, there were no related person transactions, and we are not aware of any currently proposed related person transactions, that would require disclosure under SEC rules.

2025 Proxy Statement 31

Compensation of Directors

The CHCC is responsible for reviewing and making recommendations to the Board regarding compensation paid to all directors who are not employees of eBay, or any parent, subsidiary, or affiliate of eBay, for their Board and committee services. Pay Governance LLC (“Pay Governance”) serves as the CHCC’s independent compensation consultant. In connection with its engagement, Pay Governance assists the CHCC in conducting annual peer benchmarking and assessment of market trends and best practices, to ensure that eBay’s director compensation program is in line with the market and that pay levels are comparable to peers. Our most recent benchmarking indicates that our compensation is benchmarked at or around the 50th percentile of our peer group.

Annual Cash Retainers

The following table sets forth annual cash retainers paid to our non-employee directors who served as Chair of the Board and the Chairs of the Audit, Compensation and Human Capital, Corporate Governance and Nominating, Risk and Technology Committees, respectively, and as members of those Committees, pursuant to our 2024 director compensation program. Our directors do not receive additional compensation for attending meetings of committees on which they do not serve or for meeting with members of management and other eBay employees.

ANNUAL RETAINER FOR BOARD MEMBERSHIP	AMOUNT
All Independent Directors		$	80,000
Board Chair		$	100,000
Lead Independent Director (if applicable)		$	25,000
Annual Retainer For Committee Chairs
Audit		$	25,000
Compensation and Human Capital		$	15,000
Corporate Governance & Nominating		$	15,000
Risk		$	15,000
Technology		$	15,000*
Annual Retainer For Committee Members
Audit		$	18,000
Compensation and Human Capital		$	15,000
Corporate Governance & Nominating		$	10,000
Risk		$	10,000
Technology		$	10,000
Annual RSU Grant
Board Chair		$	350,000
All Independent Directors		$	250,000

The Technology Committee was created and authorized in November 2024. Accordingly, the Chair and members of the Technology Committee received a prorated portion of their annual retainer based on the portion of 2024 during which they served in their Technology Committee roles.

Annual compensation to continuing non-employee directors pursuant to our 2024 director compensation program consisted of (a) Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”), granted on the date of the annual meeting with a grant date value equal to $250,000 or, for the non-employee director serving as the Chair of the Board, $350,000, in each case, the number of RSUs being determined by dividing the grant date value by the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, rounded up to the nearest whole share and (b) an annual cash retainer of $80,000, or, for a non-employee director serving as Chair of the Board, $100,000, plus additional cash fees for chair and committee service paid in quarterly installments (or, at the non-employee director’s discretion, paid in additional shares of the Company’s common stock of an equivalent value, calculated in the same manner as the annual equity award, rounded up to the nearest whole share).

The annual equity award and Board and committee retainers are pro-rated in the event that a non-employee director serves for a portion of a year. For newly appointed non-employee directors, the annual equity award is granted shortly following the date of the director’s appointment, with the number of RSUs being determined by dividing the grant date value (pro-rated based on the remaining portion of a year) by the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock on the date of the Company’s most recent annual meeting. Following Mr. Rowe’s commencement of Board service on February 16, 2024, he received an RSU award on March 15, 2024, with a pro-rated value of $101,894 on such date, pursuant to our 2024 director compensation program. However, if a non-employee director is appointed more than nine months since the last annual meeting, the director will receive cash in lieu of any equity award grant. RSUs become fully vested upon the earlier of (i) the first anniversary of the grant date, and (ii) the first annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company that occurs after the grant date. In the event of a change in control of eBay, any unvested RSU awards granted to our non-employee directors will accelerate and become fully vested.

Our Equity Incentive Award Plan, as amended and restated includes a maximum annual limit of $600,000 (increased by two times for the year in which the non-employee director commences service on the Board) on the value of equity awards that may be paid, issued, or granted to a non-employee director in any fiscal year (excluding any equity issued in lieu of cash). For purposes of this limitation, the value of equity awards is based on the accounting grant date fair value.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

32 2025 Proxy Statement

We previously issued Deferred Stock Units (“DSUs”) as equity compensation for our non-employee directors. Since January 1, 2017, RSUs have been granted in lieu of DSUs as compensation for non-employee directors. DSUs granted prior to August 1, 2013 are payable in Company common stock or cash (at our election) following the termination of a non-employee director’s service on the Board. DSUs granted on or after August 1, 2013 are payable solely in Company common stock following the termination of a non-employee director’s service on the Board.

For more information regarding the accounting for and assumptions we used to calculate the grant date fair values for RSUs, see the heading “Stock Based Compensation” in Notes 1 and 14 to our financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, which was filed with the SEC on February 27, 2025. Each non-employee director providing service as a director through June 20, 2024, the date of our 2024 Annual Meeting, was granted 4,644 RSUs with a value of $250,000 on such date (or, in the case of (a) Mr. Pressler, our Chair of the Board, 6,501 RSUs with a value of $350,000 on such date and (b) Bill Nash, director who was appointed on September 18, 2024, 3,499 RSUs with a pro-rated value of $234,398 on such date).

Proposal 2: Ratification of Appointment of Independent Auditors

Audit Matters

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, 2025. PwC has served as our auditors since 1997.

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. Our lead engagement partner was rotated out in January 2025, and we have a new lead engagement partner for our fiscal year 2025 audit.

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 our 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 and the Audit Committee recommend a vote [MISSING IMAGE: ic_thumbsup-pn.gif]

Audit-Related Fees for 2024 relate to system implementation audit-related procedures and the U.K. Safeguarding audit requirement.

“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, and for attestation services related to compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. “Audit-Related Fees” consist of fees incurred for other attestation engagements and consultations regarding financial accounting and reporting matters. “Tax Fees” consist of fees incurred for tax planning and advisory services, and tax compliance services and projects. “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.

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 policy provides that our internal finance personnel will prepare a summary of the proposed engagement that details 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, which information will then be provided to our Audit Committee for review and pre-approval. In making any pre-approval decision, our Audit Committee evaluates whether such engagement will interfere with the independence of PwC in the performance of its auditing services. The pre-approval of services may be delegated to one or more of our Audit Committee’s members.

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.

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 2023 and 2024 and our policy on pre-approval of non-audit services are described above.

Proposal 3: Advisory Vote to Approve Named Executive Officer Compensation

In accordance with the requirements of Section 14A of the Exchange Act, 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, compensation tables, and related narrative discussion of such compensation included in this Proxy Statement.

As discussed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the CHCC of the Board is committed to an executive compensation program that is aligned with our business goals, culture, and stockholder interests. We believe a competitive compensation program that is highly performance-based is key to delivering long-term stockholder returns.

The CHCC believes that the goals of our executive compensation program are appropriate and that the program is properly structured to achieve those goals, particularly in light of our annual evaluation of, and periodic refinements to, the program. We believe that our compensation goals and program are in the best interests of our stockholders. As discussed under the heading, “Stockholder Engagement,” eBay engages in ongoing discussions with many of our investors, and we thoughtfully consider their feedback. We have modified our programs as a result of stockholder feedback in the past and we expect to continue this practice in the future. Based on these ongoing discussions, we believe these investors generally support our goals and program, and that 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 our 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 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the 2024 Summary Compensation Table, and the other related tables and disclosures.”

While the say-on-pay vote is advisory, and therefore not binding on the Company, the Board and the CHCC value the opinions of our stockholders and will take into account the outcome of this vote in considering future compensation arrangements. It is expected that the next say-on-pay vote will occur at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

The Board recommends a vote [MISSING IMAGE: ic_thumbsup-pn.gif]

	Jamie Iannone, President and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”)
	Steve Priest, Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”)
	Eddie Garcia, Senior Vice President, Chief Product Officer
	Julie Loeger, Senior Vice President, Chief Growth Officer
	Samantha Wellington, Senior Vice President, Chief Legal Officer and Secretary(1)
	Marie Oh Huber, Former Senior Vice President, Chief Legal Officer and Secretary(2)

(1)

Samantha Wellington joined as Senior Vice President, Chief Legal Officer and Secretary on October 7, 2024.

(2)

Marie Oh Huber served as Senior Vice President, Chief Legal Officer and Secretary until June 21, 2024.

Our NEOs include our CEO, CFO and the three most highly compensated executive officers other than the CEO and CFO who were serving at the end of the last completed fiscal year. Additionally, Ms. Huber is included as an NEO because she would have been among our three highest paid executives had she been serving as an executive officer at the fiscal year-end.

Executive Summary

We design our executive compensation program with the goal of aligning the interests of our stockholders and our executives. We believe in a pay-for-performance philosophy. Our executive compensation program is designed to create incentives both in periods of success and during years when our financial performance falls short of our targets. In our view, our compensation practices, including incentive compensation, play an important role in reinforcing our pay-for-performance culture.

		Financial Highlights*
		Revenue was $10.3 billion, up 2% on an as-reported and FX-Neutral basis.
		Gross Merchandise Volume (“GMV”) was $74.7 billion, up 2% on an as-reported basis and up 1% on an FX-Neutral basis.
		GAAP net income from continuing operations was $2.0 billion, or $3.95 per diluted share.
		Generated $2.4 billion of operating cash flow and $2.0 billion of free cash flow.
		Returned $3.7 billion to stockholders, including $3.1 billion of share repurchases and $533 million paid in cash dividends.

		Business Highlights*
		eBay made a significant investment in the U.K. market to improve the customer experience for consumer-to-consumer (“C2C”) sellers, including introducing a simplified listing flow on mobile, launching eBay Balance and Managed Shipping, and revamping local pickup and discovery capabilities. eBay also eliminated final value fees and regulatory operating fees for U.K. C2C sellers across all categories, excluding motor vehicles.
		eBay expanded its artificial intelligence (“AI”)-powered magical bulk listing tool from Sports Trading Cards to all categories in the U.S., making it faster and easier for sellers to create detailed, eye-catching listings and get more inventory in front of buyers.
		eBay’s total advertising offerings generated $445 million of revenue in the fourth quarter, representing 2.3% of GMV. The Company’s first-party advertising products delivered $434 million of revenue in the fourth quarter, up 18% on an as-reported basis and up 16% on an FX-Neutral basis.

		Business Highlights* (continued)
		After a successful launch in Germany, eBay introduced Klarna’s ‘buy now, pay later’ payment options to millions of shoppers in the U.K., Austria, France, Italy, the Netherlands and Spain. Additionally, Klarna users in these countries can now resell items bought through the Klarna app on eBay in minutes, with automatic listing details and images, giving people more flexibility in how they sell.
		To offer more locally relevant payment methods, eBay partnered with Riverty to offer buyers in Germany the option to pay using a monthly invoice, one of the most popular ways German consumers pay online.
		eBay announced the latest in its series of exclusive drops from the closets of some of fashion and entertainment's most influential figures with ‘From The Collection: Margherita Maccapani Missoni.’ The collection features exclusive pre-owned, vintage and archival pieces curated by the fashion designer.

Non-GAAP measures are defined and reported under “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, which was filed with the SEC on February 27, 2025. For non-GAAP financial highlights, see our earnings release for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, included as Exhibit 99.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 26, 2025.

We Utilized Our Core Equity Program in 2024

Our compensation programs are designed to promote long-term, sustainable growth, and are intended to provide flexibility to enable us to incentivize management to adjust priorities and make the strategic decisions that are often necessary for us to succeed in the dynamic market in which we operate. The CHCC evaluates plan designs annually to determine their appropriateness and implemented the following changes in 2024:

PBRSUs and RSUs: In 2024, we utilized our core long-term incentive equity mix of PBRSUs and RSUs for our executives. Since 2016, our executive equity mix historically consisted of 40% time-based RSUs and 60% PBRSUs. We have modified the core components of our equity program to align our performance-based incentives with business-critical incentives. In 2022 and 2023, the CHCC decided to allocate a percentage of the equity mix to performance-based stock option (“PBSO”) awards to incentivize management to drive revenue growth in Payments and Advertising, which were our key revenue growth initiatives at the time. While we will continue to innovate and execute in Payments and Advertising, these PBSOs have served their intended purpose, and therefore, the CHCC decided in 2024 to utilize our core equity mix of 60% PBRSUs and 40% RSUs. In the future, we may incorporate new goals that align with our key initiatives into our PBRSU design, and we may grant new PBSOs or similar awards in connection with those initiatives. The level of achievement of the performance-based vesting conditions for the PBSOs that were previously granted in 2022 and 2023 have been determined, as described below under the heading “Former PBSO Financial Goals and Performance.”

Our Compensation Program

The objectives of our 2024 executive compensation program are to:

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

TABLE OF CONTENTS

42 2025 Proxy Statement

We achieve these objectives primarily by employing the various elements of our executive compensation programs as illustrated in the graphic below.

[MISSING IMAGE: fc_executivecompen-pn.jpg]

Former Performance Based Stock Options (PBSOs) promote retention since executives must remain with the Company in order to vest in the outstanding unvested awards and enjoy the growth in equity value. Our PBSO awards granted in 2022 (the “2022—2024 PBSOs”), based on the 2022-2024 performance cycle, have now fully vested, and a portion of those granted in 2023 (the “2023—2025 PBSOs”), based on the 2023-2025 performance cycle, remain outstanding for certain of our NEOs.

How We Pay Our CEO

The following graphics illustrate the predominance of equity incentives and performance-based components in Mr. Iannone’s 2024 target pay mix in our core compensation program.

	2024 TARGET COMPENSATION
Base Salary		$	1,000,000
Annual Cash Incentive (eIP)		$	2,000,000
Equity Awards		$	18,900,000
Total Target Compensation		$	21,900,000

Mr. Iannone’s compensation is highly weighted to Company performance. Over 95% of his 2024 compensation is based on Company performance goals or is otherwise subject to Company stock price performance.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

2025 Proxy Statement 43

Each year we carefully review our equity usage and projections and aim to strike an appropriate balance between market competitiveness, affordability and dilution, including an intentional reduction in our equity spend in 2024. Our CHCC made these adjustments in support of eBay’s business objectives and not due to any performance-related considerations.

Pay for Performance

In 2024, we continued to compensate our executive officers using a mix of equity and cash compensation. Our incentive compensation is tied to financial targets that the CHCC believes correlate with operating performance over one- and multi-year performance periods and long-term stock performance. Performance targets are generally set in a manner consistent with the annual budget and our strategic plans.

An overview of the performance-based components of our incentive compensation program follows.

PLAN	PERFORMANCE METRICS	CHCC RATIONALE
Annual Cash Incentive (eIP)	• FX-neutral revenue (threshold only) • Non-GAAP net income • Customer satisfaction improvement (kicker) • Individual performance	• A revenue threshold must be met before any incentive can be paid based on non-GAAP net income • Non-GAAP net income is directly affected by management decisions and provides a widely followed measure of financial performance • Improved customer satisfaction expected to lead to revenue growth • Differentiate compensation based on individual contributions
PBRSUs	• FX-neutral revenue • Non-GAAP operating margin dollars • ROIC modifier • Relative total shareholder return modifier	• Key drivers of our long-term success and stockholder value, and directly affected by management decisions • Incentivizes profitable growth and efficient use of capital • Increases or decreases award by up to 15% based on stock performance relative to S&P 500, strengthening alignment between long-term interests of our NEOs and stockholders
Former PBSOs	• Advertising and payments revenue	• Incentivized strong pay-for-performance component since the awards result in realizable value to the executive only if performance goals are achieved and our stock price increases over time

eIP Financial Goals and Plan Performance

The following graphs show the goals and results achieved for the 2024 performance period under the financial component of our eIP, which accounted for 75% of our NEOs’ award opportunities.

2024 eIP Financial Results

We performed above our financial target in 2024, as shown above. FX-neutral revenue surpassed the threshold requirement of the eIP, and non-GAAP net income performance was above threshold and in line with target performance. The CHCC did not make any discretionary adjustment to the non-GAAP net income results in 2024 when calculating eIP performance. The CHCC designed the eIP to exclude the impact of M&A transactions when determining target performance and payouts under our 2024 eIP. The Company financial component of the eIP paid out at 123% of target. In years when the Company’s financial performance is above threshold, a modifier is applied to the individual performance component to increase or decrease it proportionately based on the Company’s financial performance relative to target, by up to a maximum of 20%. Because the Company financial performance component was above target performance in 2024, the individual performance component was modified upward by 20% under the eIP.

PBRSUs

As discussed below under “—PBRSU Program,” we shifted from a two- to three-year performance period beginning with our 2022 PBRSU grants covering the 2022-2024 performance cycle (“2022-2024 PBRSUs”) and continued this approach with our 2023 PBRSU grants covering the 2023-2025 performance cycle (“2023-2025 PBRSUs”) and our 2024 PBRSU grants covering the 2024-2026 performance cycle (“2024-2026 PBRSUs”). The vesting of the 2022-2024 PBRSUs occurred in March 2025 for our executive officers. Below is a summary of the calculation mechanics and payout for the 2022-2024 PBRSUs. For additional information on the calculation mechanics, see further below under “—PBRSU Program—Calculation Mechanics.”

Total Payout = (Average of ((Revenue Achievement + Operating Margin $ Achievement) X ROIC Modifier) for Each of the Three Performance Years) X rTSR Modifier X Target Award

The 2022-2024 PBRSUs were paid at 112%, based on an average of the three one-year performance periods and a three-year total rTSR modifier. The Company’s financial performance against the FX-neutral revenue, non-GAAP operating margin, and return on invested capital metrics was above target, with a three-year average of 107% over the course of the 2022-2024 PBRSU performance period. The rTSR modifier for the three-year period was 105%. As a result, the final payout percentage for this cycle of PBRSUs was 112% of the target awards. Our CHCC designed our 2022-2024 PBRSUs to exclude the impact of M&A transactions completed in any year from the target and achievement calculations for that year.

The following tables show the goals and results achieved for the 2022-2024 performance period, which were used to calculate the performance vesting of the 2022-2024 PBRSUs at the end of the three-year performance period.

Former PBSO Financial Goals and Performance

Each PBSO cycle has a three-year performance period with four performance goals, and achievement of each goal earns the executive officer one-fourth of the officer’s option awards. PBSO awards were granted in 2022 (the “2022—2024 PBSOs”), based on the 2022-2024 performance cycle, and 2023 (the “2023—2025 PBSOs”), based on the 2023-2025 performance cycle. Stock options earned from PBSOs are also subject to time-based vesting over the three-year performance period (subject to continued employment), such that one-third of the earned options is available to vest as of March 15 following each year of the performance period, with the initial vesting for each earned performance goal occurring on March 15 following the year in which the applicable goal was achieved.

To earn any stock options subject to a PBSO award, at least one of the performance goals must be met. Achievement of each performance goal earns 25% of the options, which then become eligible to vest subject to time-based vesting requirements described above. The CHCC reviews the Company’s financial performance following each year during the performance period to determine if any of the performance goals for the PBSO awards have been achieved during the prior year.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

2025 Proxy Statement 45

Each of the 2022-2024 and 2023-2025 PBSOs can be earned in a range of 0% to 100% of the PBSO grant, with a target level of 50%. Achievement of “unlocks” 3 and 4 represents performance above target level.

	PERFORMANCE			VESTING
	Unlock #1			25%
	Unlock #2 (Target)			50%
	Unlock #3			75%
	Unlock #4			100%

In setting goals for our 2022—2024 PBSOs and 2023—2025 PBSOs, the CHCC factored in macroeconomic headwinds and our internal forecasts at the time, including, in 2022, the ongoing war in Ukraine and lower consumer confidence influencing changes in consumer behavior, and in 2023, anticipated adverse impacts of foreign currency exchange and lower volume.

As a result of the Company’s 2024 above-target financial performance in advertising and payments revenue under the PBSOs, the third performance goal was achieved for the 2022—2024 PBSOs. Achievement of these above-target goals unlocked an additional 25% (now totaling 75% during the full performance period) of the options underlying the 2022-2024 PBSOs. The remaining 25% of the options underlying the 2022-2024 PBSOs terminated and ceased to be outstanding due to the final stretch performance target not being achieved during the three-year performance period.

Mr. Garcia joined the Company in April 2022 and was granted 2022—2024 PBSOs on May 15, 2022 with an exercise price of $46.65 per share, which was the closing price of a share of the Company’s common stock on May 13, 2022, the last business day prior to the grant date. Ms. Wellington, who joined the Company in October 2024, does not hold any PBSOs.

As a result of the Company’s 2024 above-target financial performance in advertising and payments revenue under the PBSOs, the third and fourth performance goals were achieved for the 2023—2025 PBSOs. Achievement of these above-target goals unlocked an additional 50% (now totaling 100% during the full performance period) of the options underlying the 2023-2025 PBSOs. The 2023-2025 PBSOs are still subject to time-based vesting, with the remaining one-third vesting in March 2026.

Say-on-Pay Results and Stockholder Engagement

In 2024, stockholders once again strongly approved our executive compensation program through the “say-on-pay” vote, with approximately 86% of the votes cast in favor. We regularly review our compensation philosophy and executive compensation program to assess whether it continues to be properly aligned with our business goals, culture and, importantly, stockholder interests. We also engage with our stockholders at least twice a year to solicit feedback on our compensation philosophy and executive compensation program. In 2024, the CHCC reviewed our programs to assess whether our programs continue to support eBay’s business strategy. Based on feedback received from stockholders as a result of our engagement efforts and the results of the “say-on-pay” vote in 2024, the CHCC determined that the Company’s executive compensation philosophy, objectives and overall program continue to be appropriate.

Our Compensation Practices

We believe our compensation practices align with and support the goals of our executive compensation program and demonstrate our commitment to sound compensation and governance practices.

WHAT WE DO			WHAT WE DON’T DO
Align executive compensation with the interests of our stockholders • Pay-for-performance emphasized • Majority of total compensation comprises performance-based compensation • Equity/cash compensation mix significantly favors equity • Stock ownership guidelines			No tax gross-ups for change in control benefits No automatic “single trigger” acceleration of equity awards upon a change in control No repricing or buyout of underwater stock options without stockholder approval No hedging and pledging transactions for the Board or executive officers
Avoid excessive risk-taking • Multiple performance measures, caps on incentive payments, and overlapping long-term performance periods for PBRSU awards • Clawback policies that exceed Nasdaq and SEC requirements
Adhere to compensation best practices • Target compensation at or around the 50th percentile of peer group • Independent compensation committee and compensation consultant • Limited perquisites for executive officers that are not available to all employees

A portion of our Former PBSOs, granted in 2023 for the performance period between 2023-2025, remain outstanding and unvested for certain of our NEOs, as discussed below under “—Former PBSO Program.”

We chose a mix of equity and cash compensation vehicles to compensate executive officers based on sustainable long-term value drivers of Company performance over one- and multi-year periods and individual contributions to the Company.

Our executive officers were also eligible to receive a comprehensive set of benefits, including:

•

health and welfare benefits plans;

•

employee stock purchase plan; and

•

broad-based 401(k) retirement savings plan and a VP and above deferred compensation plan (each plan is available to U.S.-based employees only).

Based on a security risk study conducted by an independent third party, we provide security to Mr. Iannone that includes personal use of the corporate airplane (occasionally with guests), as well as certain additional security and IT support that we also provide for our other NEOs (as needed). Because the costs of these measures arise from the nature of these NEOs’ employment responsibilities with the Company, we believe these measures serve important business and security purposes and do not consider them to be personal benefits. However, to ensure we comply with SEC disclosure rules, we have reported the aggregate incremental costs of these measures in the “All Other Compensation” column of the 2024 Summary Compensation Table below. The CHCC will review the scope and costs of these security measures from time to time.

The Company does not grant bonuses to cover, reimburse, or otherwise “gross-up” any income tax owed for personal travel via the corporate airplane. We provide relocation assistance to executive officers, when applicable, and the Company reimburses executives for related taxes owed. During fiscal 2024, none of our NEOs received perquisites or other personal benefits except as described above.

2024 NEO Target Compensation

When making compensation decisions for our NEOs, the CHCC evaluated each individual based on the individual’s leadership, competencies, innovation, and both past and expected future contributions toward the Company’s financial, strategic and other priorities. The Company’s performance was reflected in our executive compensation program, holding leaders accountable for Company performance.

Long-Term Equity Incentive Compensation

Each year, the CHCC reviews equity award guidance for each position and determines the value of annual equity awards accordingly. This guidance is based on our desired pay positioning relative to companies with which we compete for talent. The midpoint of the guidance, or the median target award, reflects the 50th percentile of the competitive market. The CHCC is also cognizant of potential dilution of our stockholders resulting from equity compensation and carefully considers share usage each year.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

2025 Proxy Statement 49

In 2024, the CHCC reviewed equity award guidance by position based on the following:

•

equity compensation practices of technology companies in our peer group, as disclosed in their most recent public filings (see below under “—Further Considerations for Setting Executive Compensation—Peer Group Considerations” for our 2024 peer group), and

•

equity compensation practices for comparable technology companies that are included in proprietary third-party surveys.

Each executive officer’s individual contribution and impact, projected level of contribution and impact in the future, and competitive positioning are considered using a scorecard when determining the size of individual awards. The scorecard evaluates each executive with respect to factors including business unit performance (or in the case of our CEO, Company performance), organizational development and strategic and operational excellence. The retention value of current year awards and the total value of unvested equity from previous awards are also considered.

Annual Cash Incentive Compensation

The CHCC also 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. The CHCC approves target annual cash incentive opportunities for our NEOs in a range around the 50th percentile based on that data. The CHCC reviews market data annually and periodically adjusts incentive opportunities to the extent necessary where our practices are inconsistent with such market data.

Base Salary

The CHCC 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. The CHCC assesses each executive officer’s base salary against the 50th percentile of the salaries paid to comparable executives at peer group companies and also considers individual performance, levels of responsibility, expertise and prior experience in our evaluation of base salary adjustments. The CHCC reviews market data annually and approves each executive officer’s base salary for the year, with increases (if any) generally becoming effective on or around April 1st of the year.

Target Value of Total Compensation for NEOs

The CHCC considered many factors in approving the various components of the NEOs’ compensation, including those set forth below, using a scorecard as described above. In evaluating performance against these factors, the CHCC assigned no specific weighting to any one of the factors, instead evaluating 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 relevant goals

•

Recognition of the interconnection between the eBay business units and functions and the degree to which the NEO supported and drove the success of other business units or functions and the overall business

•

Driving innovation and execution for the business unit or function

•

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 in an environmentally and socially responsible manner

The CHCC reviewed and approved the target value of equity awards, target annual cash incentive award, and salary for our NEOs based on available market data as well as the factors described above, including Company and individual performance. Based on the foregoing, the CHCC maintained the annual base salaries and target annual cash incentive award as a percentage of base salary for all NEOs. As discussed above, in an effort to address share dilution, equity award values were reduced across our broad employee population, other than in circumstances where an employee had taken on new responsibilities since 2023. Accordingly, every NEO’s target value of new equity award grants was adjusted downwards, except for Ms. Loeger who took on more individual responsibilities this year. Our CHCC made these adjustments in support of eBay’s business objectives and not due to any performance-related concerns.

The following table shows target compensation for our NEOs (disregarding new hire “Make-Good” and supplemental transition awards for Ms. Wellington described below):

Supplemental Transition Awards

Ms. Wellington, who joined the Company in June 2024, received a compensation package consistent with the customary elements of our compensation program (salary, annual cash incentive and equity incentives consisting of 40% RSUs and 60% PBRSUs). In addition, in 2024, Ms. Wellington’s compensation package included additional compensation components, including a supplemental time-based RSU award (granted in 2024) valued at $1,000,000 that vests over two years (subject to continued employment) and “make-good” cash compensation (paid in 2024 and 2025 subject to continued employment), designed to entice Ms. Wellington to join eBay from her former employer. These additional compensation components are designed to compensate for equity value she forfeited when leaving her prior employer and to compensate for the delay in take-home pay that results from transitioning to our short-term eIP program and forfeiting compensation when leaving her prior employer. These make-good payments compensate Ms. Wellington for the value of cash incentive awards she forfeited when leaving her prior employer and approximate target compensation for her role in our peer group. Each of the make-good payments to compensate her for forfeited equity value is subject to repayment upon termination of employment for cause or resignation other than for good reason, prior to the second or third anniversary of her applicable hire date, less 1/24th or 1/36th (as applicable) for every full month of active employment following her hire date. In 2024, Ms. Wellington received a one-time make-good cash payment of $2,500,000 one month after her start date.

Ms. Wellington also received a one-time new hire time-based RSU award in 2024, her first year of employment, that vests over two years, subject to continued employment. Similar to make-good cash payments described above, this one-time new hire RSU award is designed to compensate for the delay in take-home pay that results from transitioning to our long-term equity programs and forfeiting compensation when leaving her prior employer.

2024 Compensation Design and Determinations

Our executive compensation program is highly performance-based, with payouts under the performance-based programs dependent on meeting financial and operational targets over designated performance periods. For 2024, we selected financial metrics and targets that the CHCC believes incentivize our management team to achieve our strategic objectives and drive the Company’s financial performance and long-term stock performance, including FX-neutral revenue, non-GAAP operating margin dollars, return on invested capital, relative total shareholder return, payments revenue, advertising revenue and non-GAAP net income.

2024 Long-Term Equity Incentive Awards

In 2024, our NEOs received equity-related compensation as part of the Company’s standard annual equity award. The formula used to allocate the 2024 annual target equity awards is as follows:

PBRSU Program

The PBRSU Program is a key component of the annual equity compensation for each executive officer. Toward the beginning of each performance period, executive officers receive PBRSU grants that are subject to performance- and time-based vesting requirements. PBRSUs are only awarded to executives at the level of Senior Vice President and above.

Performance Period and Vesting

Each executive officer is awarded a target number of shares subject to the PBRSU award at the beginning of a three-year performance period. The number of shares each executive officer will be eligible to receive pursuant to the PBRSU award, if any, may increase or decrease from the target number of shares based on the Company’s actual performance and the executive officer’s continued service. Our PBRSU cycle has a three-year performance period and awards earned under our PBRSUs do not vest until the conclusion of that three-year performance period. Awards are earned under PBRSUs each year based on financial performance over the three, one-year performance periods that make up the cycle, and are then adjusted based on the Company’s stock performance relative to the S&P 500 over the entire

TABLE OF CONTENTS

2025 Proxy Statement 51

three-year performance cycle. The financial performance goals for each year-long performance period within the PBRSU cycle are approved by the CHCC at the beginning of that year. The financial metrics within our PBRSUs are described below.

PBRSU awards granted in 2022 are based on the 2022-2024 performance cycle, PBRSU awards granted in 2023 are based on the 2023-2025 performance cycle and PBRSU awards granted in 2024 are based on the 2024-2026 performance cycle. If the Company’s actual performance exceeds or falls short of the target financial performance goals, the actual number of shares earned under the respective PBRSU awards will be increased or decreased formulaically and then adjusted by the total shareholder return modifier at the end of the applicable performance period. Beginning with the PBRSU awards granted in 2022, 100% of any earned PBRSUs will vest, if at all, in March following the end of the three-year performance period. Given their three-year performance period prior to any vesting, 100% of the PBRSU awards remain subject to three years of Company stock price performance before the shares are eligible to vest. The CHCC believes the length of this period is important for retaining executive officers, while aligning their interests with long-term stockholder interests.

Performance Measures and Rationale

The following table outlines the performance measures for the PBRSUs and the rationale for their selection.


Performance Measures			FX-neutral revenue(1)—weighted 50% of award opportunity with a payout range of 0% to 200% of target (50% at threshold, 100% at target and 200% at maximum performance) Non-GAAP operating margin dollars(2)—weighted 50% of award opportunity with a payout range of 0% to 200% of target (50% at threshold, 100% at target and 200% at maximum performance) Return on invested capital (modifier)—measured for each of the three one-year periods comprising the performance period—can modify annual performance results (based on FX-neutral revenue and non-GAAP operating margin) up or down by as much as 15% Relative total shareholder return(3) (modifier)—measured over a three-year period—can modify total payout under PBRSU awards (based on average per year performance results) up or down by as much as 15%. If eBay’s total shareholder return during the performance period is negative, the rTSR cannot increase the payout.
Rationale			The CHCC believes these measures are key drivers of our long-term business success and stockholder value and are 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 keep leaders accountable for driving profitable growth and make appropriate tradeoffs between investments that increase operating expense and future revenue growth. The return on invested capital (ROIC) modifier is used to hold leaders accountable for the efficient use of capital. The rTSR modifier is used to focus leaders on stock performance and strengthen alignment of the long-term interests of our NEOs and stockholders.
Targets			In light of the dynamic macroeconomic environment, the three one-year financial performance targets are generally set in a manner consistent with the current year budget. At the time the financial performance targets were set, the target goals were designed to be achievable with strong management performance, while the maximum goals were designed to be very difficult to achieve.

(1)

Calculated on a fixed foreign exchange basis. We define Foreign exchange neutral (“FX-Neutral”) net revenues as GAAP net revenues minus the exchange rate effect, which we calculate by applying prior period foreign currency exchange rates to current year transactional currency amounts, excluding hedging activity. We believe presenting FX-Neutral net revenues provides useful information to both management and investors by isolating the effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations that may not be indicative of our core operating results. In addition, as we have historically reported certain FX-Neutral results to investors, we believe that continuing to include these FX-Neutral measures provides consistency in our financial reporting. FX-Neutral net revenues are non-GAAP financial measures that are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and may be calculated differently than other “FX-Neutral,” “constant currency,” or similarly titled measures used by other companies. FX-Neutral net revenues are not presented as an alternative to GAAP net revenues and should only be used to evaluate our results of operations in conjunction with GAAP net revenues.

(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, restructuring expenses, and certain one-time gains, losses and/or expenses and, for 2023 and 2024, impacts of acquisitions or disposals of businesses.

Calculation Mechanics

To become eligible for a payout of shares under a PBRSU award, 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 thresholds are independent and, if any of the FX-neutral revenue or non-GAAP operating margin dollar performance thresholds are met, the award is adjusted with respect to that performance measure in accordance with the percentages outlined above. If the minimum performance threshold for either FX-neutral revenue or non-GAAP operating margin dollars is not met, then no shares are awarded for that performance measure. The CHCC may approve adjustments to the calculations of the performance measures due to material events not contemplated at the time the targets were set (such as unusual or extraordinary corporate transactions, events or developments) and the CHCC may apply negative discretion to reduce the payout levels of the awards.

The PBRSUs can each be earned in a range of 0% to 265% of target.

As discussed in the “Executive Summary” above under the heading “PBRSUs,” the 2022-2024 PBRSUs were paid at 112%, based on a three-year average performance and relative total shareholder return (rTSR) modifier. The Company’s financial performance against the FX-neutral revenue, non-GAAP operating margin, and return on invested capital metrics was above target, with a three-year average of 107% over the course of the 2022-2024 PBRSU performance period. The rTSR modifier for the three-year period was 105%. As a result, the final payout percentage for this cycle of PBRSUs was 112% of the target awards.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

2025 Proxy Statement 53

Time-based RSUs

Each executive officer receives a portion of the officer’s annual equity award as a grant of RSUs that vests quarterly, over a four-year period, subject to continued employment. RSU awards granted in 2024 to our executive officers vest over a four-year period, subject to continued employment. For newly hired executive officers, 25% of the initial grant of RSUs vests on the first anniversary of the grant date and the remainder vests quarterly thereafter. This vesting schedule is aligned with market practice and helps the Company to remain competitive in attracting talent.

Former PBSO Program

While not a component of the annual equity compensation for each executive officer in 2024, in 2022 and 2023, executive officers received annual PBSO grants that were subject to performance and time-based vesting requirements. The PBSOs awarded to executives at the level of Senior Vice President and above were the only options granted by the Company in 2022 and 2023.

2022-2024 and 2023-2025 Cycle Performance and Options Earned

As discussed in the “Executive Summary” above, based on the Company’s 2024 financial performance in advertising and payments revenue, the third of four performance goals was achieved for the 2022—2024 PBSOs, and the third and fourth performance goals were achieved for the 2023—2025 PBSOs. Achievement of these goals unlocked an additional 25% (now totaling 75% during the full performance period) of the options underlying the 2022-2024 PBSOs and an additional 50% (now totaling 100% during the full performance period) of the options underlying the 2023-2025 PBSOs. The remaining 25% of the options underlying the 2022-2024 PBSOs terminated and ceased to be outstanding due to the final stretch performance target not being achieved during the three-year performance period. Our NEOs holding PBSOs have earned the following options and will vest in these options subject to satisfying the applicable time-based vesting requirements based on continued employment, as described below:

2024 Annual Cash Incentive Awards (eIP)

Plan Design

The eIP is a broad-based short-term cash incentive plan. The CHCC has set an annual performance period under the plan.

In the first quarter of the year, the CHCC approves Company performance measures based on business criteria and target levels of performance. After the end of each year, the CHCC approves the actual performance against the Company performance measures to determine the payout percentage for that portion of the annual cash incentive plan.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

54 2025 Proxy Statement

Performance Measures and Rationale

The following table provides information on the Company performance measures set in the first quarter of 2024 and rationale for their selection:

PERFORMANCE MEASURES(1)	RATIONALE	TARGET
Company performance measure
FX-neutral revenue (threshold-only)	The CHCC believes that a minimum revenue threshold should be met before any cash incentive is paid. Once the minimum revenue threshold has been met, the Company financial performance component of the annual cash incentive payment is paid based on results in relation to the non-GAAP net income goal.	Threshold is set based primarily on the Company’s Board-approved budget for the year.
Non-GAAP net income(2)	Non-GAAP net income is a 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 a widely followed measure of financial performance.	Targets are set based primarily on the Company’s Board-approved budget for the year.
Customer satisfaction improvement (kicker)	Improved customer satisfaction (CSAT) is expected to lead to revenue growth, and inclusion of the CSAT kicker confirms the Company’s focus on customers and key revenue-generating initiatives. The CSAT kicker can only apply if non-GAAP net income is at or above target.	Targets are set based on achievable and meaningful improvement to customer satisfaction surveys. CSAT has the potential to increase the Company financial performance component by a maximum of 5%.
Individual measure
Individual performance	The CHCC 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, including with respect to corporate responsibility and ethical business factors.	• CEO’s assessment of the individual performance of the executive officers who are his direct reports while assessment of the CEO’s performance is made by the CHCC with input from the full Board. • In making its determination of the individual performance of each executive officer, the CHCC does not give any specific weighting to individual goals. • A modifier to individual performance is applied based on achievement of Company performance goals, regardless of individual goal achievement. The Company modifier will adjust the individual payout based on Company performance between a range of 80%-120%. For example, if the Company exceeded the FX-neutral revenue minimum performance threshold and total non- GAAP net income was 90% of the target performance threshold, then the individual performance component would be reduced by 10%. The base range of payouts for the individual performance component of the annual incentive plan is 0% to 200% of target, with potential upward modification of 20% when Company financial performance is at maximum.

(1)

Both minimum FX-neutral revenue and minimum non-GAAP net income performance thresholds must be met in order for there to be any incentive payout based on Company performance or individual performance, with the payout level for Company financial performance component based on the amount of non-GAAP net income, and, if non-GAAP net income performance is at or above target, such payout level may be increased by the CSAT kicker.

(2)

Non-GAAP net income excludes certain items, primarily stock-based compensation expense and related employer payroll taxes; amortization or impairment of acquired intangible assets; impairment of goodwill; non-cash amortization of the deferred tax assets associated with the realignment of the Company’s legal structure and related foreign exchange effects; significant gains or losses and transaction expenses from the acquisition or disposal of a business; certain gains or losses on investments; restructuring; other certain significant gains, losses, or charges that are not indicative of the company’s core operating results; change in fair market value of a warrant agreement with Adyen; and income tax effects and adjustments between our GAAP and non-GAAP tax rate. 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.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

2025 Proxy Statement 55

Calculation Mechanics

The eIP is designed to support a tight link between Company performance and any incentive payouts. The annual cash incentives payable for 2024 had an FX-neutral revenue threshold. If the minimum performance threshold is met, the Company uses total non-GAAP net income to determine the payout percentage of the Company financial performance component of the annual cash incentive (from 0% for below threshold to 50% at threshold to 200% for maximum performance). If non-GAAP net income performance is achieved at target level or higher, the Company’s performance relative to CSAT goals could increase the Company financial performance component of the payout (by up to 10%, bringing the payout to 220% for maximum performance with the maximum CSAT kicker). However, if non-GAAP net income performance is below target level, the CSAT kicker will not apply. 75% of each executive officer’s target opportunity under the eIP is based on the Company’s performance as described above and, to facilitate differentiation based on individual performance, the remaining 25% is based on individual performance.

As discussed in more detail below, the CHCC considers many factors in determining the CEO’s individual performance but does not assign specific weighting to these factors. The CHCC consults with the CEO to similarly assess the individual performance of the other executive officers. Consistent with our commitment to aligning executive compensation with Company performance, the Company modifier will adjust the individual payout based on Company performance between a range of 80%-120%. For example, if the Company exceeded the FX-neutral revenue minimum performance threshold and total non-GAAP net income was 90% of the target performance threshold, then the individual performance component would be reduced by 10%. The base range of payouts for the individual performance component of the annual incentive plan is 0% to 200% of target, with potential upward or downward modification of 20% based on Company financial performance (bringing the individual component up to 240% for maximum individual performance and maximum Company financial performance).

Individual Performance

With respect to individual performance, our CEO presents the CHCC with his assessment of the individual performance of the executive officers who are his direct reports and recommends a bonus payout percentage for the individual performance component of the annual incentive plan based on his assessment. The CHCC reviews his assessments and payout recommendations, along with the scorecard evaluation and makes a subjective determination of the level of individual performance and payouts for each of those executive officers. In addition, the CHCC (with input from the Chair 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 CHCC does not give any specific weighting to individual goals. For 2024, the executive team set team goals related to our sustainability and human capital initiatives, and success against these goals was a factor considered in the CHCC’s subjective assessment of individual performance.

2024 Performance and Payouts

We discuss the financial goals for the 2024 eIP performance period and corresponding performance results above in the “Executive Summary.” The financial performance goals for each year of the performance period are approved by the CHCC at the beginning of that year. In early 2025, the CHCC reviewed the 2024 financial results under the eIP, which were above threshold. As part of its review of the Company’s financial performance against the annual cash incentive plan targets and in accordance with its authority under the eIP, the CHCC 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 CHCC determined that it was appropriate to adjust non-GAAP net income performance for the unforeseen impact of M&A transactions, which resulted in an upward adjustment. Accordingly, the Company financial performance component was certified by the CHCC at 123% of target for all NEOs. This Company financial performance achievement also resulted in a 20% upward modification of the individual performance component under the eIP. The CSAT performance results for 2024 were below target, so the CSAT kicker was not factored into the Company performance component.

The CHCC considered the factors listed above when assessing Mr. Iannone’s individual performance. Mr. Iannone’s individual component of the annual cash incentive was established at 175% of target and was modified upward by 20% as a result of the above-target Company financial performance component. Mr. Iannone’s total earned annual incentive award for 2024, including the Company financial component and the individual component, was 145% of target.

For the other NEOs, the individual performance component was recommended to the CHCC by Mr. Iannone based on his assessment of each executive’s performance using the scorecard factors described above, which the CHCC reviewed and approved. The earned annual incentive award for each of our NEOs for 2024 was as follows:

NAME	ANNUAL CASH INCENTIVE TARGET AS PERCENTAGE OF BASE SALARY		ANNUAL CASH INCENTIVE AWARD FOR 2024			COMPANY PERFORMANCE PAYOUT %		PERFORMANCE PAYOUT AS % OF TARGET
Mr. Iannone		200%		$	2,895,000		123%		145%
Mr. Priest		100%		$	978,000		123%		122%
Mr. Garcia		75%		$	732,797		123%		145%
Ms. Loeger		75%		$	759,938		123%		145%
Ms. Huber		100%		$	415,125		123%		123%

Ms. Wellington joined the Company in October 2024 and did not participate in the eIP for 2024.

Ms. Huber’s employment with the Company terminated in June 2024. She received an eIP payout based on the actual performance of the Company for the full year (without taking into account individual performance), pro-rated for the time that she was employed during 2024, as described below under “2024 Summary Compensation Table.”

Further Considerations for Setting Executive Compensation

Role of Consultants in Compensation Decisions

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

As part of its engagement, the CHCC has directed Pay Governance to work with our Senior Vice President, Chief People Officer and other members of management to obtain information necessary for Pay Governance to form recommendations and evaluate management’s recommendations to the CHCC. Pay Governance also meets with the CHCC during its regular meetings, in executive session (where no members of management are present), and with the CHCC chair and other members of the CHCC outside of the CHCC’s regular meetings. As part of its engagement in 2024, Pay Governance provided a market overview 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, and assessed Board compensation. Pay Governance also provided guidance to the CHCC with respect to recent regulatory developments regarding executive compensation, including pay versus performance disclosure and clawback policies. Pay Governance does not provide any other services to the Company.

Compensation Consultant Conflict of Interest Assessment

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

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 CHCC, which agreed with this conclusion.

Peer Group Considerations

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

To assess whether the peer group continues to reflect the markets in which we compete for executive talent, the CHCC reviews and approves the peer group each year with the assistance of Pay Governance. In deciding whether a company should be included in the peer group, the CHCC generally considers the following 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.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

2025 Proxy Statement 57

The CHCC evaluates our peer group on an annual basis with the assistance of Pay Governance. The CHCC last refreshed our peer group in 2023 for our 2024 fiscal year, including making the following changes:

Severance and Change in Control Arrangements with Executive Officers and Clawbacks

The objective of our severance and change in control arrangements is to provide fair and reasonable severance that will also serve as a retention incentive for those impacted by a change in control or similar transactions. We believe that these protections help the Company attract and retain highly talented executive officers.

Severance Arrangements Outside of a Change in Control

Our SVP and Above Standard Severance Plan, as amended and restated (the “Standard Severance Plan”), together with the award agreements for our various forms of equity awards, covers officers employed at the level of senior vice president and above, and generally provides severance protection outside of a change in control period if an eligible executive is terminated without cause and signs and does not revoke a waiver of claims against the Company. Mr. Iannone, Mr. Garcia, Ms. Loeger, Mr. Priest and Ms. Wellington are eligible to participate in the Standard Severance Plan. For Mr. Iannone, pursuant to his offer letter, the Standard Severance Plan also provides severance benefits in the event of his resignation for good reason and provides enhanced benefits for him in his capacity as CEO, as discussed below under the “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” table. Additional termination benefits in connection with our NEOs’ PBSO awards are also provided upon a qualifying termination under the Standard Severance Plan or upon the executive officer’s death or disability.

In accordance with Ms. Huber’s offer letter dated April 2, 2015 (the “Offer Letter”) and the severance benefits contained therein, the Company entered into a letter agreement dated May 22, 2024 (the “Separation Agreement”), pursuant to which Ms. Huber released all claims against the Company in connection with her departure from the Company on June 21, 2024 (the “Separation Date”). In accordance with her Offer Letter, Ms. Huber received a lump sum cash severance payment, the details of which are provided below under “2024 Summary Compensation Table.”

Severance Arrangements in Connection with a Change in Control

The Company has not entered into any arrangements with any of its NEOs to provide “single trigger” severance payments upon a change in control. The Company’s equity incentive plans generally provide for the acceleration of vesting of awards granted under the plans upon a change in control 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.

The Company’s Change in Control Severance Plan for Key Employees, as amended and restated (the “Change in Control Severance Plan”), together with the award agreements for our various forms of equity awards, provide severance protection for executives at the level of VP and above in connection with a change in control if a participant is terminated without cause or resigns for good reason and signs and does not revoke a waiver of claims against the Company. Mr. Iannone, Mr. Garcia, Ms. Loeger, Mr. Priest and Ms. Wellington participate in the Change in Control Severance Plan. Certain payments under the Change in Control Severance Plan are reduced by any similar severance

payments made under the Company’s other severance plan or agreement, including the Standard Severance Plan. Additional termination benefits in connection with our NEOs’ PBSO awards are also provided upon a change in control.

Please see “Executive Compensation Tables—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” below for further information regarding the Standard Severance Plan, the Change in Control Severance Plan, and other termination protections described in this “Severance and Change in Control Arrangements with Executive Officers and Clawbacks” section.

Clawbacks

In 2014, the CHCC 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 and Ethics 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 CHCC 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 of stock options) during the twelve-month period preceding the date on which the Company had actual knowledge of the covered event or the full impact of the covered event was known, or such longer period of time as may be required by any applicable statute or government regulation.

Additionally, in 2023 the CHCC adopted a supplemental clawback policy, effective as of December 1, 2023, that complies with the new SEC rules under the Dodd-Frank Act and the applicable Nasdaq listing rules. The supplemental clawback policy covers our “executive officers,” as defined in Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including each of our NEOs), and generally requires (subject to certain exceptions) that the Company claw back certain incentive-based compensation erroneously awarded as a result of financial restatements and includes both “material restatements” and “little r” restatements (restatements of financials for a prior period to correct an error that would otherwise result in a material misstatement in the current period, even though the error is immaterial as to financials of the past period when it was reported). The supplemental clawback policy was filed with the SEC as an exhibit to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

Ms. Wellington became an NEO in fiscal 2024 in replacement of Ms. Huber.

Salary (Column (c))

The amount reported for Mr. Garcia includes $649 of base salary earned by Mr. Garcia and deferred under our nonqualified deferred compensation plan. See the “2024 Nonqualified Deferred Compensation” table below for more information.

Bonus (Column (d))

Ms. Wellington received a new-hire “make-good” transition payment of $2,500,000, made in part to offset equity compensation forgone when she left her prior employer to join eBay.

Stock Awards (Column (e))

The amounts reported in the Stock Awards column represent the aggregate grant date fair value of RSUs and PBRSUs granted to each of our NEOs in each of the applicable years, 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 the probable outcome of the performance measures for the applicable performance period as of the date on which the PBRSUs are granted. This grant date fair value for PBRSUs is different from (and lower than) the maximum value set forth below. Additionally, because the PBRSUs granted in 2024 are comprised of three one-year performance metrics, only one-third of the shares underlying these PBRSU awards were treated as granted in 2024 for accounting purposes. Similarly, one-third of the shares underlying the PBRSUs actually granted in each of 2022 and 2023 were treated as granted in 2024 for accounting purposes. The equity incentive awards included in this column were all awarded under the Company’s Equity Incentive Award Plan, as amended and restated. For more information regarding the accounting for and assumptions we used to calculate the grant date fair values for RSUs and PBRSUs, see the headings “Stock-based compensation” and “Stock-Based Compensation Expense” in Notes 1 and 14, respectively, to our financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, which was filed with the SEC on February 27, 2025.

RSUs: RSU awards were granted to our NEOs in connection with the Company’s annual equity grant on April 1, 2024 (or November 15, 2024 for Ms. Wellington’s new-hire grant) with a grant date value of $7,748,139 for Mr. Iannone, $2,295,751 for Mr. Garcia, $3,177,180 for Ms. Loeger, $2,951,687 for Mr. Priest and $2,806,184 for Ms. Wellington.

PBRSUs: PBRSUs provide an opportunity for our NEOs to earn RSUs if the performance measures for a particular time period—in this case 36 months—are met. For a description of the performance measures for the 2022-2024 and 2023-2025 PBRSU awards, see “—2024 Compensation Design and Determinations—2024 Long-Term Equity Incentive Awards—PBRSU Program—Performance Measures and Rationale” above.

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

The amounts reported under these columns relate to the possible awards under the eIP. In 2024, the total annual target incentive amounts under the eIP for the NEOs were as follows:

Mr. Iannone	$	2,000,000
Mr. Priest	$	800,000
Mr. Garcia	$	506,250
Ms. Loeger	$	525,000
Ms. Wellington(1)	$	0
Ms. Huber(2)	$	337,500

(1)

Ms. Wellington joined the Company in October 2024 and was not eligible for the 2024 Non-Equity Incentive Plan.

(2)

Ms. Huber’s employment with the Company terminated in June 2024. In accordance with her Offer Letter, Ms. Huber’s eIP payout for 2024 was based on the actual performance of the Company for the full year (without taking into account individual performance), pro-rated for the time that she was employed during 2024.

The total 2024 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 payment 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 achieved; for 2024, both these Company performance thresholds were achieved.

Actual payouts to our NEOs under the annual cash incentive plan for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 are reflected in the “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” column in the “2024 Summary Compensation Table” above.

eIP—Company Performance: The amounts shown in the rows entitled “eIP—Company Performance” reflect potential payouts for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 under the eIP 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 achieved, 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 achieved.

•

Maximum: The amounts shown in this column represent the maximum amounts payable based on Company performance (including the maximum CSAT kicker), which are 220% of the amounts shown under the Target column.

eIP—Individual Performance: The amounts shown in the rows entitled “eIP—Individual Performance” reflect potential payouts for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 under the eIP for the portion of the award payable based on individual performance, as follows:

•

Threshold: Although there are no thresholds under the eIP 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 achieved.

•

Target: The amounts shown in this column reflect 100% of the target award for individual performance.

•

Maximum: The amounts shown in this column are 240% of the amounts shown under the Target column.

In years when the Company’s financial performance is above its threshold, a modifier is applied to the individual performance component to reduce or increase it proportionately based on the Company financial performance component relative to target, in a range of 80%-120%. See “—2024 Compensation Design and Determinations—2024 Annual Cash Incentive Awards” above.

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

PBRSUs

The amounts shown reflect potential payouts of the respective portions of the 2022-2024, 2023-2025, and 2024-2026 PBRSUs that were treated as granted for accounting purposes in 2024, 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 achieved and each of the lowest return on invested capital modifier and the lowest total shareholder return modifier is applied, respectively, and are 36% of the amounts shown under the Target column.

•

Target: The amounts shown in this column reflect the awards if the target FX-neutral revenue and non-GAAP operating margin dollar amounts are achieved, and each of the target return on invested capital modifier and the target total shareholder return modifier, is applied, respectively.

•

Maximum: The amounts shown in this column reflect the awards if the maximum FX-neutral revenue and non-GAAP operating margin dollar amounts are achieved and each of the maximum return on invested capital modifier and the maximum total shareholder return modifier, is applied, respectively, and are 265% of the amounts shown under the Target column.

For further discussion of the PBRSUs, including their vesting schedules, see “—2024 Compensation Design and Determinations—2024 Long-Term Equity Incentive Awards—PBRSU Program” above.

All Other Stock Awards: Number of Shares or Stock Units (RSUs) (Column (j))

The awards reflect the number of RSUs on the grant date. RSU awards granted to our NEOs in 2024 vest quarterly over a four-year period beginning on June 15, 2024, subject to continued employment.

Grant Date Fair Value (Column (m))

The grant date fair value of each RSU award was calculated using the fair value of our common stock on the date of grant. The grant date 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 applicable performance measures as of the date on which the awards were granted for accounting purposes.

(2)

None of the earnings set forth in this column are considered above-market or preferential as determined under SEC rules, and, therefore, none of such amounts are reflected in the “2024 Summary Compensation Table” above.

(3)

The balances shown include $84,940 of compensation earned by Mr. Garcia and already reported in the “2024 Summary Compensation Table” above and $33,101 of compensation earned by Mr. Garcia and already reported in prior-year proxy statements, except for any earnings that were not above-market or preferential as determined under SEC rules.

As of December 31, 2024, Mr. Garcia was our only NEO who had an account balance under our Deferred Compensation Plan. Under the Deferred Compensation Plan, our key executives who satisfy certain eligibility requirements may make annual irrevocable elections to defer a specified portion of their base salary and bonus to be earned during the following calendar year, and, at the discretion of the CHCC, RSU awards the executive is eligible to receive. Deferral of amounts earned in 2024 by participants were limited to 50% of base salary and 100% of bonus. Our Company may credit matching amounts to an account established for each participant in an amount equal to a percentage, established by our Company in its sole discretion prior to the beginning of the plan year, of the amount of compensation deferred by each participant under the Deferred Compensation Plan. For 2024, our Company did not match any amount of salary or bonus deferred by any participants.

Account balances under the Deferred Compensation Plan will be credited with income, gains and losses based on the performance of investment funds selected by the participant from a list of funds designated by our Company. The amounts of base salary and bonus credited to participants’ deferred accounts are at all times 100% vested. Any RSUs a participant elects to defer remain subject to the vesting conditions specified in the applicable award agreement. Any Company contributions will vest based on conditions established by the Company prior to their contribution to the plan. Participants will be eligible to receive distributions of the vested amounts credited to their accounts, at times that they may specify, in a lump sum or up to 15 annual installments pursuant to elections made under the rules of the Deferred Compensation Plan. Changes to these elections may be made under limited circumstances. Under the Deferred Compensation Plan, participants who have elected a payment at termination of employment must generally wait six months after termination to receive a distribution. Assets contributed under the Deferred Compensation Plan remain subject to the claims of the Company’s general creditors.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

The following table, footnotes, and narrative set forth our payment obligations pursuant to the compensation arrangements for our NEOs, under the circumstances described below, assuming that their employment was terminated or a change in control occurred on December 31, 2024.

Ms. Huber		—		—		6,903,798(4)		—		—

(1)

With respect to Mr. Iannone, an involuntary termination includes a termination without cause or resignation for good reason. With respect to Mr. Garcia, Ms. Loeger, Mr. Priest and Ms. Wellington, under the Standard Severance Plan, an involuntary termination includes only a termination without cause, and under the Change in Control Severance Plan, an involuntary termination in connection with a change in control includes termination without cause or resignation for good reason.

(2)

For each NEO, other than Ms. Huber, equity elements were calculated using the following assumptions:

The values for RSUs were calculated by multiplying the number of unvested RSUs held by the applicable NEO and subject to acceleration, by the closing price per share of our common stock on December 31, 2024, which was $61.95.

The values for PBRSUs were calculated based on target share payout amounts for ongoing performance periods for unvested PBRSUs held by the applicable NEO, except that, in cases where the performance period has ended, the final expected payout was used. This number of unvested PBRSUs (adjusted based on the expected payout) was then multiplied by the closing price per share of our common stock on December 31, 2024, which was $61.95.

The value included for the PBSOs held by the NEOs was calculated on the intrinsic value (difference between the closing price per share of our common stock on December 31, 2024, which was $61.95, and the exercise price) of each of the outstanding PBSOs. Please refer to the “2024 Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End” table above for the number of outstanding options held by each of our NEOs.

(3)

No amounts are included for Ms. Huber because her employment with the Company terminated in June 2024.

(4)

In accordance with her Offer Letter, and upon her execution and non-revocation of the Separation Agreement, Ms. Huber received a lump-sum cash severance payment in the amount of $6,488,673 and an eIP payout of $415,125, based on the actual performance of the Company for the full year (without taking into account individual performance), pro-rated for the time that she was employed during 2024.

Voluntary Termination (Column (a))

The Company does not pay severance benefits upon voluntary termination.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

2025 Proxy Statement 67

Change in Control (Column (b))

The Company has not entered into any arrangements with any of its executive officers to provide “single trigger” payments upon a change in control.

The Company’s equity incentive plans generally provide for the acceleration of vesting of awards granted under the plans upon a change in control only if the acquiring entity does not agree to convert, assume, or replace the awards. These provisions generally apply to all holders of awards under the equity incentive plans and do not provide for a “single-trigger” benefit.

The amounts reported in the Change in Control column assume that, in a change in control transaction, the successor entity would convert, assume, or replace outstanding equity awards. If the successor entity does not convert, assume, or replace any outstanding equity awards and all the unvested and outstanding awards are fully accelerated upon a change in control, the aggregate value of accelerated vesting of such awards (including dividend equivalents for equity awards other than PBSOs) to each of the NEOs that were executive officers of the Company as of December 31, 2024, for PBRSUs, calculated based on target share payout amounts for ongoing performance periods and final expected payout amounts for completed performance periods, and for all unvested and outstanding equity awards, calculated based on the closing price of our common stock on December 31, 2024, would be as follows:

NAME	ACCELERATION VALUE OF ALL OUTSTANDING EQUITY AWARDS AS OF 12/31/24 ($)
Mr. Iannone		64,798,517
Mr. Priest		25,472,352
Mr. Garcia		21,405,115
Ms. Loeger		21,034,235
Ms. Wellington		5,573,904

Involuntary Termination outside of a Change in Control (Column (c))

The Standard Severance Plan, which covers officers employed as a senior vice president or in a more senior position, provides severance protection outside of a change in control period if a participant is terminated without cause (or resigns for good reason for Mr. Iannone, pursuant to his offer letter) and signs and does not revoke a waiver of claims against the Company. Mr. Iannone, Mr. Garcia, Ms. Loeger, Mr. Priest and Ms. Wellington participate in the Standard Severance Plan. Additional termination benefits in connection with our NEOs’ PBSO awards are also provided upon a qualifying termination under the Standard Severance Plan.

The following table describes the severance benefits (other than certain accrued benefits which are paid (such as earned but unpaid bonuses, payment of unreimbursed expenses, etc.) that each of our NEOs would receive if terminated outside of a change in control.

A lump sum amount equal to the prorated dividend equivalents (based on time served) that have already accrued and would have vested in connection with applicable shares.

(4)

The Company can elect to pay cash in lieu of accelerated vesting. The cash value of such unvested equity is determined using the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the ten consecutive trading days ending on and including the trading day immediately prior to their termination date.

(5)

Involuntary Termination in Connection with a Change in Control (Column (d))

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.

The equity incentive plans generally provide for the acceleration of vesting of awards granted under the plans upon a change in control 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.

The Change in Control Severance Plan provides severance protection for executives at the level of Vice President or in a more senior position in connection with a change in control if a participant is terminated without cause or resigns for good reason and signs and does not revoke a waiver of claims against the Company. Certain payments under the Change in Control Severance Plan are reduced by any similar severance payments made under the Company’s other severance plan or agreement, including the Standard Severance Plan. Mr. Iannone, Mr. Garcia, Ms. Loeger, Mr. Priest and Ms. Wellington participate in the Change in Control Severance Plan. Additional termination benefits in connection with our NEOs’ PBSO awards are also provided upon a change in control for PBSOs.

If any payments or benefits provided for under the Change in Control Severance Plan or otherwise payable to the participant exceeds the greatest amount of payments and benefits that could be paid or provided to the participant without giving rise to any liability for any excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, the participant will receive either full payment of such payments and benefits and pay the excise tax or such lesser amount that would result in no portion of the payments and benefits being subject to the excise tax, whichever results in the greater amount of after-tax benefits to them. The Change in Control Severance Plan does not require us to provide any tax gross-up payments to the participants.

The following table describes the severance benefits that each of our NEOs would receive if they are terminated in connection with a change in control.

		NEOS
Cash Elements	Severance	2x salary and 2x target cash incentive award under the eIP
	eIP(1)	Prorated payment for year in which termination occurs
	Health Premium	A payment to cover 24 months of health coverage
	New-Hire “Make-Good” Payments(2)	Payment of any unpaid new-hire “Make-Good” payments
Equity Elements	RSUs(3)	100% acceleration of awards(4)
	PBRSUs(3)	100% acceleration of awards deemed earned(4)(5)
	PBSOs	100% acceleration of awards deemed earned(6)

(1)

Based on target performance with respect to both the Company performance component and the individual performance component in respect of the fiscal year in which separation occurs.

(2)

A lump sum amount, if any, to be paid to the individual in connection with their offer of employment with the Company.

(3)

A lump sum amount equal to the prorated dividend equivalents (based on time served) that have already accrued and would have vested in connection with applicable shares.

(4)

(5)

Awards deemed earned at the target amount of shares subject to such awards for performance periods for which achievement has not yet been determined.

(6)

Awards deemed earned at the greater of the target number of options and the number of options earned based on performance with respect to any completed annual performance period.

Death or Disability (Column (e))

Pursuant to the Standard Severance Plan, if, outside a change in control, the participant’s employment terminates due to their death or disability (as defined in the Standard Severance Plan) then, for RSUs, the applicable executive will be entitled to receive, within 60 days of their termination date, the full vesting (or payment of cash in lieu of vesting at the election of the Company) of their outstanding and unvested RSU awards that would have otherwise vested within 24 months of the applicable executive’s termination date (where the cash value of such unvested equity is determined using the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the ten consecutive trading days

ending on and including the trading day immediately prior to their termination date), and a lump sum amount equal to the dividend equivalents that have already accrued and would have vested in connection with applicable shares. PBRSUs will be treated in the same manner, except that the limitation to only receive vesting of shares that would have otherwise vested within 24 months of termination will not apply. For PBSOs, the applicable executive will be entitled to receive, within 60 days of their termination date, the full vesting of their outstanding and unvested earned PBSOs, consisting of the number of options actually earned based on performance in any completed performance year, that would have otherwise vested within 24 months for the CEO, 18 months for the CFO, and 12 months for other Standard Severance Plan participants, respectively.

Pursuant to the Change in Control Severance Plan, if, in connection with a change in control, the participant’s employment terminates due to their death or disability (as defined in the Change in Control Severance Plan) then, for all awards other than PBSOs, the applicable executive is entitled to receive, within 60 days of the applicable executive’s termination date, the full vesting (or payment of cash in lieu of vesting at the election of the Company) of all the applicable executive’s outstanding and 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 of such unvested equity is determined using the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the ten consecutive trading days ending on and including the trading day immediately prior to their termination date), and a lump sum amount equal to the dividend equivalents that have already accrued and would have vested in connection with applicable shares. For PBSOs, the applicable executive is entitled to receive, within 60 days of the applicable executive’s termination date, the full vesting of the applicable executive’s outstanding and unvested PBSOs that are deemed earned, consisting of the greater of the target number of options and the number of options actually earned based on performance in any completed performance year, that would have otherwise vested within 24 months for the CEO, 18 months for the CFO, and 12 months for other Standard Severance Plan participants, respectively.

CEO Pay Ratio

As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Act, we are providing the following disclosure about the relationship of the median of the annual total compensation of our employees to the annual total compensation of Mr. Iannone, our CEO. We believe that the pay ratio disclosed below is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K. SEC rules for identifying the median employee and calculating the pay ratio allow companies to apply various methodologies and assumptions and, as result, the pay ratio reported by us may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported by other companies.

To better understand this disclosure, we think it is important to give context to our operations. eBay is a global commerce leader with operations requiring a wide range of talents and roles. As a global organization, we strive to create a competitive total compensation program in the locations we operate. As a result, our compensation program varies by local market in order to allow us to provide a competitive total compensation package.

2024 Ratio Calculation

•

This year, the median employee’s annual total compensation was $167,976.

•

Mr. Iannone’s annual total compensation, as reported in the 2024 Summary Compensation Table, was $20,349,650.

•

Based on this information and the disclosures provided in this section, the ratio of the annual total compensation of Mr. Iannone to the median employee’s annual total compensation is 121:1.

In determining the annual total compensation of the median employee, we calculated such employee’s compensation in accordance with Item 402(c)(2)(x) of Regulation S-K as required pursuant to SEC executive compensation disclosure rules. This calculation is the same calculation used to determine total compensation for purposes of the 2024 Summary Compensation Table with respect to each of the NEOs. For purposes of this disclosure, we converted employee compensation from local currency to U.S. dollars using the exchange rate the Company used for 2024 internal budgeting purposes.

Identification of Median Employee

As permitted by SEC rules, for the past two years, we have used the same median employee because we do not believe there has been a change in our employee population or employee compensation program that would significantly impact the CEO pay ratio disclosure. To identify our median employee, we elected to use total target direct compensation which we calculated as salary, target bonus and target annual equity awards. We chose this compensation measure because we believe it is the most accurate reflection of pay at eBay. A complete description of the methodology that we used to identify the median employee can be found in our 2024 Proxy Statement, filed on April 25, 2024.

Pay Versus Performance

As required by Section 953(a) of the Dodd-Frank Act, and Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship between executive compensation actually paid and certain financial performance of the Company. For further information concerning the Company’s variable pay-for-performance philosophy and how the Company aligns executive compensation with the Company’s performance, refer to “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” above.

(*)

Compensation Actually Paid excludes the Stock Awards and Option Awards columns from the relevant fiscal year’s Summary Compensation Table total. The grant date fair value of equity awards represents the total of the amounts reported in the “Stock Awards” and “Option Awards” columns in the Summary Compensation Table for the applicable year. The Rule 402(v) Equity Values reflect the aggregate of the following components, as applicable: (i) the fair value as of the end of the listed fiscal year of unvested equity awards granted in that year; (ii) the change in fair value during the listed fiscal year of equity awards granted in prior years that remained outstanding and unvested at the end of the listed fiscal year; (iii) the change in fair value during the listed fiscal year through the vesting date of equity awards granted in prior years that vested during the listed fiscal year, less the fair value at the end of the prior year of awards granted prior to the listed fiscal year that failed to meet applicable vesting conditions during the listed fiscal year and (iv) the value of dividend equivalents paid on stock or option awards in the covered fiscal year prior to the vesting date that are not otherwise included in the total compensation for the covered fiscal year. Equity values are calculated in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASC”) Topic 718, and the valuation assumptions used to calculate fair values did not materially differ from those disclosed at the time of the grant or the Company’s approach to valuation employed in its financial statements.

For purposes of the above adjustments, the fair value of equity awards on the applicable date were determined in accordance with FASB’s ASC Topic 718, using valuation methodologies that are generally consistent with those used to determine the grant date fair value for accounting purposes.

The table below contains ranges of assumptions used in the valuation of outstanding equity awards for the relevant fiscal year(s). For more information, please see the notes to our financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and the footnotes to the Summary Compensation Table of this Proxy Statement above.

Expected term adjusted for moneyness is calculated as the midpoint between the weighted time to vest (considering both service and performance conditions) and the contractual term, and then adjusted based on the moneyness ratio as of the measurement date.

(***)

Implied volatility, dividend yield and Risk-free rate are computed as of the measurement date following similar methodology as grant date.

The peer group for TSR for each listed fiscal year is the S&P 500 Information Technology (Sector) Index. The TSR amounts disclosed in the table assume a fixed investment of $100, and the relevant “measurement period” for any given year presented is the market close on the last trading day before the registrant’s earliest fiscal year presented in the table, through and including the end of the fiscal year for which cumulative TSR is being calculated. In addition, the TSR for the earliest year in the table will represent the TSR over that “first” year while the TSR for the next earliest year will represent the cumulative TSR over the first and the second years.

(4)

The Company has identified FX-Neutral Revenue as the company-selected measure for the pay versus performance disclosure, as it represents the most important financial performance measure used to link compensation actually paid to the PEO and the Other NEOs in 2024 to the Company’s performance. FX-Neutral Revenue was chosen from the following three most important financial performance measures used by the Company to link compensation actually paid to the PEO and other NEOs in 2024 to the Company’s performance:

Most Important Financial Performance Measures:

•

FX-Neutral Revenue(1) (the company-selected measure)—broad topline financial metric reflecting GMV performance while incentivizing business development and growth

•

Non-GAAP Operating Margin—incentivizes operational efficiency and profitability

•

Non-GAAP Net Income—incentivizes operational efficiency and profitability while also reflecting capital structure and tax impacts

For further information concerning the Company’s financial performance metrics, refer to the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of this Proxy Statement above.

Narrative

In the above “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of this Proxy Statement, we discuss our pay-for-performance compensation philosophy and the elements of our executive compensation program, which are heavily weighted toward equity compensation. Reflecting our philosophy and the emphasis on equity compensation, the values included in the columns for Compensation Actually Paid to our PEO and the Non-PEO NEOs in each of the fiscal years reported above fluctuate year-over-year, primarily based on our stock price as of the last day of the listed fiscal year, among other factors, including Company financial performance relative to performance targets for PBRSUs and PBSOs. As the table illustrates, the compensation of our PEO and the Non-PEO NEOs is higher when our stock price is higher, and lower when our stock price is lower, reflecting the CHCC’s intent to align the interests of our PEO and the Non-PEO NEOs with those of our stockholders. Further, because Compensation Actually Paid values are based on our stock price as of particular dates in accordance with the SEC rules, it is important to note that the values could have been substantially different if other dates were chosen.

Proposal 4: Approval of the Amendment and Restatement of our Equity Incentive Plan

Summary of Amendment and Restatement

We are seeking stockholder approval to amend and restate our Equity Incentive Award Plan (the “Plan”) to increase the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company (the “Shares”) reserved for issuance under the Plan by an additional 20 million Shares (among other changes described in this section).

We last requested a share increase under the Plan in 2023, when we forecasted that the additional shares we were then seeking would be sufficient to cover our equity compensation program needs for two years, until 2025. We also noted that we anticipated seeking stockholder approval for an additional share increase in 2025. Stockholder approval of the Plan will also extend the term of the Plan by an additional two (2) years, expiring in 2035 unless extended again.

Our continuing ability to offer equity incentive awards under the Plan is critical to our ability to execute on our long-term strategy, as it enables us to attract, motivate and retain qualified personnel in the highly competitive market for employee talent in which we operate. Since our last share request, we have been executing on our business strategy, as discussed above under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Executive Summary—Business Highlights” and “—Financial Highlights.”

In determining the size of the requested share increase under the Plan, our Board and CHCC worked with management and eBay’s independent compensation consultant to evaluate a number of factors, including our corporate and talent strategies, compensation benchmarking, our recent and projected share usage, share usage at companies in our compensation peer group, total potential dilution level, our share repurchase program and its impact on dilution, and criteria expected to be utilized by institutional investors and proxy advisory firms in evaluating our Plan proposal.

Our Board and CHCC believe that approving an additional 20 million Shares for issuance under the Plan is appropriate and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders given our current expectations on hiring, the highly competitive environment in which we recruit and retain employees and our projected share usage.

Based on current forecasts, we anticipate that the additional shares we are seeking will cover our equity compensation program needs for approximately the next two years, until 2027, at which time we anticipate seeking stockholder approval for an additional share increase. The Board has approved the amendment and restatement of the Plan, subject to stockholder approval, and the Board recommends that stockholders vote in favor of this proposal at the Annual Meeting.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

2025 Proxy Statement 75

Why the Board Supports this Proposal

In supporting our proposed amendment and restatement of the Plan, our Board focused on the key factors summarized below:

		Talent Retention and Execution of Strategy				Thoughtful Equity Management
		• Competition for talent in the technology industry is highly competitive. Equity Compensation helps us attract, retain and motivate the employees who are essential for eBay to execute on its long-term business strategy and align their interests with eBay’s long-term success. • We use equity compensation across the majority of our employee base and not just for our NEOs. In 2024, approximately 93% of the shares we granted under our Plan were awarded to non-NEOs, and each year we typically grant awards to approximately two-thirds of all of our employees.				• Each year we carefully review our equity usage and projections and aim to strike an appropriate balance between market competitiveness, affordability and dilution, including an intentional reduction in our equity spend in 2024. We have accounted for our stock price performance when making projections, which includes benefiting from a greater than 45% stock price increase as of April 1, 2025 since our last request two years ago. • Our current share request is projected to support our equity compensation program for the next two years based on current forecasts.
		Impact of Repurchase Program				Plan and Practices Align with Stockholders’ Interests
		• Over the last three fiscal years ended at year-end 2024, we returned approximately $7.7 billion to stockholders through our share repurchase program, and $3.3 billion of authorization remains available under that program as of year-end 2024. • Our share repurchases during that period caused our shares outstanding to be reduced by approximately 20% as of year-end 2024, which in turn elevated our three-year average gross burn rate from 2.3% to 2.7%. • Our share repurchases led to a significant reduction in shares outstanding, which impacts our overhang. Without our share repurchases since January 1, 2022, our overhang would be lowered from 11.8% to 8.9% as of April 1, 2025, despite our significant stock price increase in recent years.				• Our long-term equity incentives for NEOs are comprised of predominantly performance-based awards (60% of target equity value granted in 2024 was performance based). • No “evergreen” provision • No repricing or granting of discounted stock options or stock appreciation rights • No share counting ratio • No dividends or dividend equivalents prior to vesting • Performance-based awards vest at target level performance in the event of a change in control where the acquirer does not assume or replace the awards, unless stated otherwise in a grant award.

For more information about these important points of focus for our Board, see below.

•

Long-Term Equity is a Key Component of Our Broad-Based Compensation Program, which is Essential for Executing Our Business Strategy.

Since our last share request, we have been executing on our business strategy, as discussed above under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Executive Summary—Business Highlights” and “—Financial Highlights.” Our ability to attract and retain the talent we need to deliver on our business strategy continues to be an important factor in our success.

Equity compensation is an integral component of employee compensation in our industry, not only for our executive officers but also for a wide cross-section of our employee population. In 2024, approximately 93% of the Shares that we granted under our Plan were awarded to non-NEOs, and each year we typically grant awards to approximately two-thirds of all of our employees. As of April 1, 2025, approximately 7,300 of our 11,500 employees globally held outstanding equity awards. As a result, our employees’ interests are aligned with stockholders’ interests.

At the same time, the technology industry is a highly competitive industry with an active and mobile talent pool. If we reduce our use of equity awards, to compete effectively for talent we would be compelled to significantly increase cash compensation. This would reduce the cash otherwise available for operations and investment in our business. Cash compensation would also fail to provide long-term retention and would fail to align employees’ interests with stockholders’ interests as well as our equity compensation program. Without the ability to offer equity compensation at competitive levels, we risk losing the critical talent we rely on to achieve our long-term business goals.

•

We Manage Our Equity Incentive Program Thoughtfully.

We manage our long-term stockholder dilution by limiting the number and size of equity awards granted annually to what we believe is appropriate and necessary to attract, reward and retain employees. Each year we carefully review our equity usage and projections and aim to strike an appropriate balance between market competitiveness, affordability and dilution, including an intentional reduction in our equity spend in 2024. Through our actions, we demonstrate our continued focus on prudent equity management. We have also benefited from a significant increase in our stock price, up more than 45% as of April 1, 2025 since our last share request two years ago.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

76 2025 Proxy Statement

We focus on proactively managing our equity spend, and we are also mindful of the ratio of our stock-based compensation expense to our revenues over time. We last requested a share increase under the Plan in 2023, when we anticipated that we would seek additional shares in 2025 at the Annual Meeting. Our strategies and stock price increase have resulted in lower share usage in 2024 than initially projected and, because of this, we are requesting a smaller number of additional shares in 2025. We believe this smaller request in 2025 will support our equity compensation programs for the next two years through 2027 (based on current forecasts).

•

Our Share Repurchase Strategy Returns Value to Stockholders and Offsets Plan Dilution, But It Also Impacts Our Overhang and Burn Rate.

eBay has a long-standing commitment to disciplined capital allocation. Share repurchases are a core component of our capital allocation framework, and in recent years we have returned significant value to stockholders through share repurchases, while also offsetting dilution from our Plan.

Over the past three fiscal years, we have returned a total of approximately $7.7 billion to our stockholders via our share repurchase program in addition to increasing our quarterly cash dividend in each of the past three years. As of year-end 2024, $3.3 billion of authorization remains available under our share repurchase program. We expect share repurchases to remain a core component of our capital allocation priorities for the foreseeable future. Our share repurchase program has the positive effect of reducing our shares outstanding, but a byproduct of this is an increase to our burn rate and share overhang. For example, our repurchases during the past three fiscal years have led to a 0.4 percentage point increase in our three-year average gross burn rate as of year-end 2024. Similarly, our repurchases during that time and through April 1, 2025 have elevated our share overhang as of that date by 2.9 percentage points. Our Board believes that these impacts are more than offset by the significant stockholder value produced by the program. When evaluating our burn rate and overhang, our Board believes that stockholders should take into account the value returned through our share repurchase program, which we believe is supported by our stockholders.

•

Our Plan Features and Company Practices Reflect Best Practices from a Governance and Stockholder Perspective.

Our long-term equity incentives include our PBRSU and RSU programs, which align executives’ incentives with the long-term interests of our stockholders. Our executive compensation program is heavily weighted towards long-term equity incentives. In 2024, our equity grants for executive officers were structured so that, taking into account the full performance vesting periods, 60% of the target equity value is comprised of PBRSUs and 40% is comprised of time-based RSUs.

Our Plan features and other Company practices include:

•

No Evergreen Increase Feature.

•

No Discounted Options.

•

No Liberal Share Recycling.

•

No Excise Tax Gross-Ups.

•

No Repricing Without Stockholder Approval.

•

Participant and Director Grant Size Limits. 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 Plan during any calendar year is two million shares. 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.

•

No Single Trigger Vesting Provisions for Awards. The Plan provides for the acceleration of vesting of awards granted under the plans upon a change in control for time-based vesting awards only if the acquiring entity does not agree to convert, assume, or replace the awards. These provisions generally apply to all holders of awards under the equity incentive plans and are not considered to provide for a “single-trigger” benefit.

•

Performance-Based Vesting Awards Generally Vest at Target Level upon Change in Control. Upon a change in control, if the acquiring entity does not agree to convert, assume or replace the awards, outstanding PBRSUs and PBSOs under the Plan are deemed earned at the target number of shares subject to such awards for performance periods for which achievement has not yet been determined. PBSOs are deemed earned at the greater of the target number of options and the number of options earned based on actual performance with respect to any completed annual performance period. Following the amendment and restatement of the Plan, in cases where an award is subject to the satisfaction of performance goals at the time of a change in control, such award will be considered converted, assumed or replaced if the award is converted assuming achievement of the performance goals at target level or as otherwise provided in the applicable award agreement.

•

Minimum Vesting Limitations. Subject to the acceleration of vesting as permitted under the terms of the Plan or the applicable award agreement, awards granted to employees or consultants will vest 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 Plan may be granted without regard to this minimum vesting requirement.

•

Limitations on Dividend Equivalents. Dividend equivalents that accrue with respect to an award are not be payable prior to the date the award vests. To the extent Shares subject to an award are subject to performance-based vesting conditions, any dividends or dividend equivalents relating to such shares are subject to the same performance-based vesting conditions.

•

Clawback Policies. All awards under the Plan are subject to “clawback” requirements aligned with our regulatory framework.

•

Stock Retention Guidelines. Executive officers have stock retention guidelines that align their interests with stockholders and require them to retain a number of shares valued at three (3) times their base salary (and six (6) times for the CEO).

Equity Awards Outstanding and Shares Available for Grant

The following table sets forth information regarding our outstanding equity awards as of April 1, 2025 under our Plan. No warrants are outstanding under our Plan.

(2)

Represents grants of RSUs, PBRSUs (at target achievement level) and deferred stock units (“DSUs”). Excludes grants of PBSOs.

Share Overhang Including Shares Requested

As of April 1, 2025, our overhang, calculated as the number of shares subject to equity awards outstanding but not vested (and, in the case of options, not exercised), plus the number of shares available to be granted, divided by the total number of shares of common stock outstanding as of April 1, 2025, was 11.8%. If we include the additional 20 million available shares contemplated by the amendment and restatement of the Plan in this calculation, the overhang from outstanding and available awards as a percentage of common stock outstanding would be 16.1% as of April 1, 2025.

As discussed above, a byproduct of our share repurchases reducing our outstanding share count is an increase to our share overhang. For example, without our share repurchase activity since January 1, 2022, our overhang as of April 1, 2025 would be 8.9%, or 2.9 percentage points lower than with such share repurchase activity. If we include the additional 20 million available shares contemplated by the amendment and restatement of the Plan in this calculation, without our share repurchase activity since January 1, 2022, our overhang from outstanding and available awards as a percentage of common stock outstanding would be 12.1%, or 4.0 percentage points lower than with such share repurchase activity.

Summary of Plan Terms

The following is a summary of the key provisions of the 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 Plan, which is attached to this proxy statement as Appendix A.

Administration

The CHCC has the exclusive authority to administer the 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.

The CHCC 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. Pursuant to this provision, our CHCC’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 CHCC. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, the CHCC shall consist solely of two or more members of the Board, each of whom is a non-employee director, and an “independent director” under the rules of 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 as determined by the CHCC, all non-employee members of our Board, and consultants are eligible to participate in the Plan. As of April 1, 2025, the closing price of our common stock on Nasdaq was $67.80 per share.

Limitation on Awards and Shares Available

An aggregate of 263.3 million shares of common stock are currently authorized for issuance pursuant to the Plan, of which approximately 25.6 million shares remain eligible for future issuance as of April 1, 2025 (which will be reduced due to regular course grants by the upcoming Annual Meeting). Subject to stockholder approval of the proposed amendment and restatement of the Plan, an aggregate of 283.3 million shares of common stock will be authorized for issuance pursuant to the Plan. The shares of common stock covered by the Plan may be treasury shares, authorized but unissued shares, or shares purchased in the open market.

To the extent an award granted under the 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 Plan, pursuant to the terms of the 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 Plan. Additionally, shares repurchased by us using option exercise proceeds will not increase the number of shares of stock available for issuance under the Plan and SARs payable in shares shall reduce the number of shares that may be issued under the Plan by the gross number of shares subject to the SAR (or the portion thereof being exercised), not the net number of shares issued upon exercise of the SAR.

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 Plan. The payment of cash dividend equivalents in conjunction with outstanding awards will not be counted against the shares available for issuance under the 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 Plan during any calendar year is two million shares. The aggregate amount of awards that may be granted annually to non-employee

TABLE OF CONTENTS

2025 Proxy Statement 79

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 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 “—Prior Grants Under the Plan” below and the “2024 Summary Compensation” table and “2024 Grants of Plan-Based Awards” table above for information on prior awards to our named executive officers identified in those tables.

Stock Options. Stock options, including incentive stock options (as defined under Section 422 of the Code) and nonqualified stock options, may be granted pursuant to the Plan. The option exercise price of all stock options granted pursuant to the 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 CHCC, but in no event may a stock option have a term extending beyond ten years from the date of grant.

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 CHCC 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 CHCC (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 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 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 Plan. A restricted stock award is the grant of shares of common stock at a price determined by the CHCC (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 CHCC.

Additional Awards. The other types of equity awards that may be granted under the 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-Based Awards. Under the Plan, performance-based awards may be either equity awards or performance-based cash awards. Participants are entitled to receive payment for a performance-based award for any given performance period only to the extent that performance goals set by the CHCC for the period are satisfied.

These performance goals may be based on one or more of the following types of performance criteria, or such other criteria as the CHCC may select:

•

volume criteria (including trading volume, gross merchandise volume, and total payment volume)

•

users

•

revenue

TABLE OF CONTENTS

80 2025 Proxy Statement

•

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 CHCC 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 CHCC 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. 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.

Performance-based cash awards are payable upon the attainment of performance goals based on established performance criteria. The goals are established and evaluated by the CHCC and may relate to performance over any periods as determined by the CHCC.

Prohibition on Repricing

The CHCC 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 Awards

Subject to the acceleration of vesting as permitted under the terms of the Plan or the applicable award agreement, including upon a change in control, any awards 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 Plan, as of the date of the amendment and restatement of the 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 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 our 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 Plan and any outstanding awards would be appropriate to prevent any dilution or enlargement of benefits under the Plan, the Board will equitably adjust the Plan as to the class of shares issuable and the maximum number of shares of our stock subject to the 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,

TABLE OF CONTENTS

2025 Proxy Statement 81

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, unless otherwise provided in the applicable award agreement evidencing the Award, any surviving corporation or acquiring corporation may assume or continue outstanding awards or substitute similar awards. If awards are neither converted, assumed nor replaced by the successor entity, 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, and awards subject to performance-based vesting conditions granted following the amendment and restatement of the Plan will vest at target level performance, unless otherwise set forth in the applicable award agreement evidencing the Award. Following the amendment and restatement of the Plan, in cases where an award is subject to the satisfaction of performance goals (or other performance-based targets established by the CHCC) at the time of a change in control, such award will be considered converted, assumed or replaced if, following the change in control, the award is converted assuming achievement of the performance goals at target level or as otherwise provided in the applicable award agreement.

Currently, outstanding PBRSUs and PBSOs under the Plan are deemed earned at the target number of shares subject to such awards for performance periods for which achievement has not yet been determined, and PBSOs are deemed earned at the greater of the target number of options and the number of options earned based on actual performance with respect to any completed annual performance period in the event of a change in control.

Amendment and Termination

The CHCC, subject to approval of the Board, may terminate, amend, or modify the 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 Plan, (3) to permit the CHCC 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 award may be amended to reduce the per share exercise price of the shares subject to such award below the per share exercise price as of the date the award was granted and, except to the extent permitted by the Plan in connection with certain changes in capital structure, no award may be granted in exchange for, or in connection with, the cancellation or surrender of an award having a higher per share exercise price.

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

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

TABLE OF CONTENTS

82 2025 Proxy Statement

awards under the 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.

Section 409A of the Code generally provides that any deferred compensation arrangement must satisfy specific requirements, both in operation and in form, regarding (1) the timing of payment, (2) the advance election of deferrals, and (3) restrictions on the acceleration of payment. Failure to comply with Section 409A may result in the early taxation (plus interest) to the participant of deferred compensation and the imposition of a 20% penalty on the participant on such deferred amounts included in the participant’s income. We intend to structure awards under the Plan in a manner that is designed to be exempt from, or to comply with, Section 409A.

Section 457A of the Code has significantly changed the rules applicable to deferred compensation paid to U.S. persons by certain foreign corporations and other entities. We expect that stock options, stock-settled stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and restricted stock units granted under the Plan will be exempt from Section 457A. However, stock appreciation rights that may be settled in cash may be subject to Section 457A, as well as cash awards or stock units that are not paid within one year after vesting. Section 457A requires that any compensation paid under a deferred compensation plan of a nonqualified entity must be included in the participant’s income at the time such amounts are no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture. Therefore, stock appreciation rights that may be settled in cash as well as cash awards or stock units that are not paid within one year after vesting may result in income inclusion upon vesting, even though the participant has not exercised the stock appreciation right or received delivery of cash or shares of stock at that time. We currently intend to grant awards that are exempt from Section 457A.

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

New Plan Benefits

Awards are subject to the discretion of the CHCC, which typically approves annual grants on April 1st each year. The CHCC also makes off-cycle grants from time to time, including in connection with new hires and promotions. Therefore, other than the annual grant of RSUs to our non-employee directors expected to be made on the date of the Annual Meeting, under our director compensation program (the expected amounts of which are set forth in the table below for 2025), and certain awards identified below to be made in 2025 in connection with a new hire and a role expansion that were previously announced, it is not possible to determine the benefits that will be received in the future by participants in the Plan.

NAME OF INDIVIDUAL OR GROUP	DOLLAR VALUE OF RSUS AND PBRSUS ($)			NUMBER OF RSUS AND PBRSUS (#)
All current executive officers as a group(1)			—		—
All non-employee directors as a group		$	2,600,000(2)		38,355(3)
All employees as a group (excluding executive officers)		$	26,000,000(4)		—(5)

(1)

As awards are subject to the discretion of the CHCC, it is not possible to determine the benefits that will be received in the future by any of our named executive officers. Please see our “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section above for a detailed description of our compensation practices with respect to our named executive officers

(2)

Under our director compensation policy, in 2025, on the date of the Annual Meeting, each of our non-employee directors (assuming they continue serving their directorship) is expected to receive an RSU grant with a grant date value of $250,000, except for the independent Chair of our Board, who is expected to receive an RSU grant with a grant date value of $350,000.

(3)

This is the estimated total number of 2025 RSUs to be granted to our non-employee directors (assuming our current non-employee directors continue serving their directorship) on the date of the Annual Meeting under the director compensation policy. Equity compensation for our non-employee directors is based on a specified grant date dollar value as described above under “Compensation of Directors.” We used the closing price of the Company’s common stock on April 1, 2025, or $67.80, to estimate the number of RSUs to be granted on the date of the Annual Meeting pursuant to the director compensation policy.

(4)

On April 30, 2025, the Company announced a new hire and certain role expansions effective in May 2025. In connection therewith, and pursuant to their offer letters, in 2025, Peggy Alford and Jordan Sweetnam will be awarded RSUs with a combined aggregate value of $13,400,000 and PBRSUs with a combined aggregate value of $12,600,000.

(5)

In accordance with the terms of their offer letters, the number of shares subject to each award to be granted to Ms. Alford and Mr. Sweetnam on the expected effective date of such award will be determined by dividing the dollar value of the award by the average of the closing prices of the Company’s common stock for the period of 10 consecutive trading days ending on (and including) the last trading day prior to the date of grant, rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares of Company common stock.

Proposal 5: Stockholder Proposal

John Chevedden, a beneficial owner of 180 shares of eBay common stock, has advised the Company that he intends to present the following stockholder proposal at the 2025 Annual Meeting. Mr. Chevedden has indicated that he holds the requisite number of shares of eBay common stock in accordance with Rule 14a-8 requirements. eBay will provide the address of the proponent promptly upon a stockholder’s oral or written request.

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 2025 Annual Meeting only if properly presented by or on behalf of the proponent.


	Proposal 5—Proposal Topic that Won 47% EBAY Shareholder Support in 2023
	Shareholders ask our board to take the steps necessary to amend the appropriate company governing documents to give the owners of a combined 10% of EBAY outstanding common stock the power to call a special shareholder meeting. Currently it takes a theoretical 20% of all shares outstanding to call for a special shareholder meeting. However the face value of 20% is deceiving because there are factors than increase the 20% face value significantly. This theoretical 20% of all shares outstanding translates into 25% of the shares that vote at EBAY annual meeting. It would be hopeless to think that EBAY shares, that do not have the time to vote, would have the time to go through the special procedural steps to call for a special shareholder meeting. And it goes downhill from here. Shares that are not held net long are excluded. Thus shareholders who own 20% of EBAY stock, that equals 25% of the stock that votes at the EBAY annual meeting, could determine that they hold 30% of EBAY stock when shares owned other than net long are included. A potential 30% stock ownership threshold to call for a special shareholder meeting is nothing for the EBAY Board to brag about. Plus EBAY shareholders have no right to act by written consent. A large number of companies provide shareholders with the right to act by written consent and the right to call a special shareholder meeting. The 10% figure is reasonable because some states require that 10% of shares have the right to call a special shareholder meeting. Calling for a special shareholder meeting is hardly ever used by shareholders but the main point of the right to call for a special shareholder meeting is that it gives shareholders at least significant standing to engage effectively with management at a time when the Board needs to adopt new strategies. Management will have an incentive to genuinely engage with shareholders, instead of stonewalling, if shareholders have a realistic Plan B option of calling a special shareholder meeting. One can say that EBAY has been in a slump since 2021 when EBAY was at $76. In late 2024 EBAY was at only $63. To guard against the EBAY Board of Directors becoming complacent during the curret EBAY stock price slump shareholders need the ability to call a special shareholder meeting to help the Board adopt new strategies when the need arises. The 47% EBAY shareholder support for this proposal topic in 2023 would likely have exceeded 51% support if EBAY management had not gone to the corporate war chest and flooded shareholders with messages to vote against the 2023 proposal and, in a paradox of reasoning, vote against increasing their own rights as EBAY shareholders. Please vote yes: Proposal Topic that Won 47% EBAY Shareholder Support in 2023—Proposal 5

Board Statement in Opposition

After careful consideration, including a review of market trends, the Board has determined that the action requested by the stockholder proposal is not in the best interests of eBay and its stockholders for the following reasons:

Minority Stockholders Can Already Call a Special Meeting Today

eBay stockholders holding in the aggregate 20% or more of our outstanding shares of common stock already have the right to call a special meeting, which reflects current market practice. eBay’s 20% ownership threshold is the same as many other S&P 500 companies.

Our 20% Threshold Allows Legitimate Proposals, While Protecting eBay From Generally Unsupported Proposals

Our current ownership threshold of 20% ensures that stockholders owning a reasonable minority of eBay’s outstanding shares of common stock can call special meetings. Lowering this threshold would make it easier for a small minority of stockholders to raise generally unsupported proposals that can waste significant corporate resources on matters that do not reflect the interests of eBay and its broader stockholder base and may not garner significant support.

In addition, our largest stockholder alone holds over 10% of our outstanding stock. Approval to lower the special meeting threshold to 10% would allow a single stockholder the ability to call a special meeting, even if the proposal were not in the best interests of the overwhelming majority of eBay stockholders.

eBay Already Provides Effective Ways for Stockholders to Voice Their Opinions

eBay regularly solicits and evaluates stockholder feedback outside of the context of formal stockholder meetings through robust stockholder engagement throughout the year. This feedback helps guide decisions that prioritize the long-term interests of all stockholders. eBay also already has corporate governance practices in place that allow smaller stockholders to effectively voice their opinions without the expense and risk associated with a lower special meeting threshold. For example, eBay directors are elected annually by majority voting in uncontested elections, eBay provides market-standard proxy access and eligible stockholders are allowed to submit stockholder proposals.

eBay Has a Robust Program of Stockholder Engagement and a Track Record of Listening to Stockholders

eBay engages with its stockholders throughout the year to make it easy for stockholders to provide feedback to management and our Board. Each year, we engage with many of our stockholders about important topics to be addressed at our annual meeting. For example, since January 2024, we have offered to meet on sustainability, governance, compensation, capital allocation and other matters with approximately 37 investors representing approximately 69% of our outstanding shares, which resulted in 11 conference calls or meetings with investors representing approximately 10% of our outstanding shares.

Stockholder feedback is thoughtfully considered and has led us to modify our governance practices, executive compensation program and make other changes in the past and we expect we will continue to do this in the future. For example, in recent years we have:

•

Enhanced incentive compensation program to include ESG goals and three-year performance periods

•

Reduced the stock ownership threshold for stockholders to request eBay to call a special meeting from 25 percent to 20 percent

•

Enhanced the Board’s oversight of eBay’s political spending governance

•

Made enhancements to our Human Rights Policy Statement

•

Set a 2045 net-zero carbon emissions target that has been recently validated by the Science Based Targets initiative

Our Board Believes That 20% Is the Right Threshold for Special Meetings

eBay permits stockholders holding in the aggregate 20% or more of our outstanding shares of common stock on a “net long” basis to call special meetings. The Board believes that the current special meeting threshold of 20% strikes the appropriate balance between providing existing stockholders with a meaningful right to call a special meeting, while protecting against the risk of a single stockholder, or small minority group of stockholders, unilaterally misusing eBay’s resources for potentially narrow or short-term interests that do not benefit the greater stockholder base. A single stockholder or minority group of stockholders has no duty to act in the best interests of eBay or other stockholders.

Special meetings require the expenditure of considerable time, effort and resources, including significant costs in legal and administrative fees, costs for preparing, printing and distributing materials and soliciting proxies, and the diversion of Board and management time away from running eBay’s business. Accordingly, special meetings should be limited to circumstances where stockholders holding a meaningful minority of eBay’s outstanding shares of common stock believe a matter is significantly urgent or extraordinary to justify considering such matters between annual meetings. By reducing the ownership threshold to 10%, a small minority of stockholders could use the special meeting mechanism to advance their own narrower agenda, without regard to the broader interests of eBay and our other stockholders.

As of December 2024, our largest stockholder alone holds more than 10% of our outstanding shares and two of our largest stockholders together hold more than 20% of our outstanding shares. Given this concentration, reducing the ownership threshold to 10% could enable more than one stockholder acting individually or a small minority of stockholders to aggregate their shares to call a special meeting in order to

2025 Proxy Statement 85

pursue narrow self-interests or agendas that are not widely viewed among our stockholder base as requiring immediate attention or that are not aligned with the long-term interests of the Company or our stockholders more broadly. This would permit a small number of stockholders to exercise a disproportionately large amount of influence over the Company’s matters.

eBay’s corporate governance policies and practices provide stockholders with numerous avenues to voice their opinions and encourage Board accountability and responsiveness to stockholder feedback. In addition to stockholders’ existing rights to call a special meeting and ability to nominate a director via proxy access, eBay has no supermajority voting provisions in its charter or bylaws, each director nominee is elected annually, a majority vote standard is applicable in uncontested director elections and the roles of Chair of the Board and CEO are separate, meaning that the Chair of the Board, as well as all the chairs of Board committees, are independent directors. Furthermore, the Company has demonstrated an ongoing commitment to Board refreshment and to having highly qualified, independent voices on the Board. Of the Board’s 10 independent directors, 6 have joined eBay since 2020.

eBay’s strong corporate governance policies include a robust stockholder engagement program. eBay leaders meet regularly with stockholders to discuss matters of importance to stockholders, including strategy, operational performance, environmental and governance matters, particularly human capital matters and business practices. eBay also meets with stockholders throughout the year to share perspectives on corporate governance, executive compensation and related matters. For additional information on eBay’s stockholder engagement program and actions it has taken in response to these discussions, please see “Corporate Governance—Board Oversight and Stockholder Engagement” above. As part of this engagement, eBay has historically heard from many of our largest stockholders expressing their support for the current special meeting threshold. However, eBay intends to continue monitoring developments on this topic as part of its consideration of broader governance issues, and we remain committed to fostering an open and honest dialogue with stockholder regarding our corporate governance policies and practices.

The Board believes that eBay’s strong governance practices and procedural safeguards for stockholders, including our commitment to a robust, ongoing dialogue with stockholders and our responsiveness to those discussions, provide stockholders with the significant ability to raise important matters with the Board and management in a manner tailored to eBay’s particular ownership composition without the potential expense and risk associated with a lower special meeting threshold.

Proposal 6: Stockholder Proposal

North Atlantic States Carpenters Pension Fund (the “Fund”), a beneficial owner of 10,700 shares of eBay common stock, has advised the Company that it intends to present the following stockholder proposal at the 2025 Annual Meeting. The Fund has indicated that it holds the requisite number of shares of eBay common stock in accordance with Rule 14a-8 requirements. eBay will provide the address of the proponent promptly upon a stockholder’s oral or written request.

	Director Election Resignation Governance Policy Proposal:
	Resolved: The shareholders of eBay, Inc. (“Company”) request that the Board adopt a new Director Election Resignation Governance Policy (“Resignation Policy”) provision in its corporate governance principles to address those situations when one or more incumbent Board nominees fail to receive the required majority vote for re-election. The Resignation Policy shall provide that each director upon joining the Board tender an irrevocable resignation conditioned on the director’s failure to receive the required majority vote support in an uncontested election. The Resignation Policy shall provide that the Board should accept a director’s tendered resignation absent its finding of a compelling reason or reasons to reject the resignation, as decided by the Board in the exercise of its business judgment. The Resignation Policy shall further stipulate that if the Board rejects a director’s resignation and the director remains on the Board as a “holdover” director but is not re-elected at the next annual meeting of shareholders, that such director’s second tendered resignation shall be effective ninety days after the vote certification. Supporting Statement: The Resignation Policy sets a new demanding director resignation governance guideline to reflect shareholder voting sentiment in director elections. Delaware corporate law states that each director shall hold office until such director’s successor is elected and qualified or until such director’s earlier resignation or removal. An incumbent director who does not receive the required vote for election may continue to serve as a “holdover” director. The Company’s current resignation guideline requires incumbent directors to tender an irrevocable resignation conditioned on their failure to receive the requisite majority vote in an uncontested election. Directors on the Board’s Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee or other subset of directors will then review the tendered resignation and recommend to the Board whether to accept or reject it. The proposed Resignation Guideline Policy sets a more demanding director resignation review process, requiring the Board to articulate a compelling reason or reasons when it rejects a tendered resignation, thus allowing an unelected director to continue to serve. Importantly, the Resignation Policy further establishes that if a “holdover” director again fails to be re-elected at the next annual meeting of shareholders, the new resignation is effective ninety days following the election vote certification. While the Guideline Resignation Policy provides the Board latitude to reject the first resignation of an incumbent director who does not receive majority vote support, it honors the shareholder vote as the final word on a “holdover” director’s second election defeat. Shareholder director election voting rights under Delaware corporate law are foundational rights in the governance of corporations. The majority vote director election standard adopted by the Company gives shareholders voting rights that have legal effect. It is important that corporate director resignation policies, guidelines and bylaws not undermine shareholder voting rights. The proposed Resignation Policy establishes shareholder voting in director elections as a more consequential governance right, striking a proper balance between board discretion and shareholder voting rights.

Board Statement in Opposition

eBay’s Existing Director Resignation Policy Is Robust and Consistent with Market Practice

eBay already has a robust director resignation policy in place for when a director fails to receive a majority vote, and our Board is given time to thoughtfully consider any tendered resignation. eBay’s current policy is consistent with market practice. In fact, eBay’s current practices align with approximately 85% of S&P 500 companies, as surveyed by FactSet.

eBay’s Ten Non-Employee Directors Have Already Signed Irrevocable Resignation Letters

Each of eBay’s ten non-employee directors has already signed an irrevocable resignation letter, which ensures that our Board already has the ability to accept a tendered resignation by a “holdover” director.

The Proposal Limits Board Decision-making Authority and the Exercise of Board Fiduciary Duties

Our Board already owes fiduciary duties to eBay and its stockholders. This proposal seeks to limit our Board’s authority to make business decisions about whether to accept or reject a director’s resignation by imposing a heightened “compelling reason” standard and creating situations where resignations must automatically be accepted. The “compelling reason” standard is vague, and it could prevent our Board from considering important factors that our Board believe to be in the best interest of our stockholders before making a decision to accept a resignation, including the factors set forth above in “The Nomination Process.” Because it is vague, imposing a “compelling reason” standard on our Board could also lead to future litigation, which could waste time, effort, resources, and money.

Our Board Believes that eBay’s Existing Director Resignation Practices Align the Best Interests of eBay and its Stockholders

The Board believes that eBay’s existing director resignation policy and related practices are aligned with the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. In accordance with its bylaws and Governance Guidelines, eBay expects a Board director nominee to tender their resignation to the Board if such director fails to receive the required number of votes for re-election. Further, when considering whether to nominate any incumbent director for re-election, the Board takes into account whether such director has tendered an irrevocable resignation prior to the relevant election that will be effective upon the failure of the director to receive the required number of votes for re-election and the Board’s acceptance of such irrevocable resignation in accordance with the bylaws.

Pursuant to our existing director resignation policy, if a director nominee fails to receive majority vote at an annual meeting, then the CGNC of the Board, or a committee consisting solely of independent directors, is responsible for determining whether to accept the resignation within 90 days from the date of the certification of the election results. In line with our commitment to transparency and accountability, the decision is then required to be publicly disclosed in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

If any resignation is rejected by the CGNC, then the nominee who is serving as a director will continue to serve on the Board as a “holdover director” until their successor is elected and qualified, until they are re-nominated after consideration by the CGNC or until their earlier death, resignation, retirement, or removal pursuant to our bylaws. This is consistent with Delaware law and aligns with the policies and practices of approximately 85% of S&P 500 companies, as surveyed by FactSet.

The Board believes that eBay’s current director resignation policy is aligned with the best interests of eBay and our stockholders as it promotes transparency and accountability and provides the CGNC with an appropriate amount of time to thoughtfully consider the tendered resignation and before exercising its discretion, consistent with the Board’s fiduciary duties to stockholders under Delaware law. The proposal improperly seeks to remove this key business decision from the purview of the Board by imposing a heightened “compelling reason” standard for the Board to reject a director’s resignation and triggering the automatic resignation of a “holdover” director that is not re-elected at the following annual meeting. This unduly restricts the Board’s decision-making authority and its exercise of its fiduciary duties to eBay and its stockholders under Delaware law.

Under the current policy, the CGNC will review factors it deems relevant in reaching its decision, which may include consideration of any stated reasons for “AGAINST” votes, whether the underlying cause or causes of the “AGAINST” votes have been cured or are curable, criteria considered by the CGNC in evaluating potential candidates for the Board, the contributions and length of service of such director to eBay, and such director’s stock ownership in eBay. A policy providing for the automatic resignation of directors may result in unintended negative consequences and would take away the Board’s opportunity for careful deliberation, which is important in maintaining a full and effective Board with directors that contribute valuable insight, perspective, and expertise. In addition, the “compelling reason” standard is both confusing and subjective as it is unclear how a “compelling reason” standard would apply under Delaware law. This ambiguity could potentially lead to future litigation against the Company, resulting in significant expenditures of time, effort, resources, and money.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

88 2025 Proxy Statement

The Board believes that eBay’s current director resignation policy is effective by providing sufficient transparency and accountability while allowing the CGNC discretion to make decisions in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders. Further, eBay is committed to and has already established strong governance practices that address the proposal’s stated concerns and objectives and thereby render it unnecessary.

Questions and Answers About the Proxy Materials and Our 2025 Annual Meeting

Why am I receiving these materials?

Our Board has made these proxy materials available to you in connection with the Board’s solicitation of proxies for use at our 2025 Annual Meeting, which will take place on Wednesday, June 25, 2025. Stockholders are invited to attend the Annual Meeting and are requested to vote on the proposals described in this Proxy Statement. We mailed the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (“Notice”) to our stockholders on or around April 30, 2025.

What information is contained in these materials?

The information included in this Proxy Statement relates to the proposals to be voted on at the Annual Meeting, the voting process, the compensation of our most highly paid executive officers and our directors, and certain other required information. Our 2024 Annual Report, which includes our audited consolidated financial statements, is also included with these proxy materials. If you received a paper copy of these materials, the proxy materials also included the accompanying proxy card or voting instruction form for the Annual Meeting. If you received the Notice instead of a paper copy of the proxy materials, voting instructions can be found in the Notice or below.

Why did I receive a notice in the mail regarding the Internet availability of proxy materials instead of a full set of proxy materials?

We are distributing our proxy materials to certain stockholders over the Internet under the “notice and access” approach in accordance with SEC rules. As a result, we mailed to many of our stockholders the Notice instead of a paper copy of the proxy materials. All stockholders receiving the Notice will have the ability to access the proxy materials over the Internet and request to receive a copy of the proxy materials by mail or email. Instructions on how to access the proxy materials over the Internet or to request a paper or email copy may be found in the Notice. In addition, the Notice contains instructions on how you may request access to proxy materials in printed form by mail or email on an ongoing basis.

This approach conserves natural resources and reduces our printing and distribution costs, while providing a timely and convenient method of accessing the materials and voting.

At the time the Notice was mailed, our management and the Board were not aware of any other matters to be properly presented at the Annual Meeting other than those set forth in this Proxy Statement and in the Notice.

How many shares are entitled to vote?

Each share of eBay common stock outstanding as of the close of business on April 28, 2025, the record date, is entitled to one vote at the Annual Meeting. At the close of business on April 28, 2025, 460,843,591 shares of eBay common stock were outstanding and entitled to vote. You may vote all of the shares owned by you as of the close of business on the record date of April 28, 2025, and you are entitled to cast one vote per share of common stock held by you on the record date. These shares include shares that are (1) held of record directly in your name, including shares purchased or acquired through eBay’s equity incentive plans and (2) held for you as the beneficial owner through a broker, bank, or other nominee.

What is the difference between holding shares as a stockholder of record and as a beneficial owner?

Most stockholders of eBay hold their shares beneficially through a broker, bank, or other nominee rather than directly in their own name. There are some distinctions between shares held of record and shares owned beneficially, specifically:

•

Shares held of record. If your shares are registered directly in your name with eBay’s transfer agent, Computershare Shareowner Services LLC, you are considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares, and the Notice was sent directly to you by eBay. As a stockholder of record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly to eBay or to vote at the Annual Meeting. If you do not wish to grant your voting proxy directly to eBay or to vote at the Annual Meeting, you may submit voting instructions via the Internet or by telephone by following the instructions on the Notice, and as described below under “How can I vote my shares without attending the Annual Meeting?” If you requested printed copies of the proxy materials, eBay has sent you a proxy card for you to use to direct the proxyholders regarding how to vote your shares.

Shares owned beneficially. If your shares are held in a brokerage account or by a broker, bank, or other nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in street name, and the Notice was forwarded to you by your broker, bank, or other nominee, which is considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank, or other nominee on how to vote the shares in your account. You may also vote these shares by attending the Annual Meeting. If you do not wish to vote at or will not be attending the Annual Meeting, you may vote by proxy as described in the Notice and below under “How can I vote my shares without attending the Annual Meeting?” If you requested printed copies of the proxy materials, your broker, bank, or other nominee has enclosed a voting instruction form for you to use to direct the broker, bank, or other nominee regarding how to vote your shares. Please instruct your broker, bank, or other nominee how to vote your shares using the voting instruction form you received from them.

Can I attend the Annual Meeting?

Yes. You are invited to attend the Annual Meeting, which will be held virtually, if you are a stockholder of record or a beneficial owner as of April 28, 2025. Only stockholders of record or beneficial owners as of April 28, 2025 can vote, ask questions, or make comments. To join as a stockholder, you must go to www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/EBAY2025 (“Meeting Website”) and log in using the control number on the Notice, your proxy card or your voting instruction form. We encourage you to join 15 minutes before the start time of 8:00 a.m. Pacific Time, June 25, 2025, to ensure you can connect. If you encounter any difficulties while accessing the Annual Meeting during the check-in or meeting time, a phone number for technical assistance will be made available on the Meeting Website 15 minutes prior to the start time of the Annual Meeting. A recording of the Annual Meeting will be archived for at least 90 days following the date of the Annual Meeting. You may find a link to it at https://investors.ebayinc.com.

Even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we encourage you to vote your shares in advance using one of the methods described in this Proxy Statement to ensure that your vote will be represented at the Annual Meeting. We reserve the right to eject an attendee or cut off speaking privileges for behavior likely to cause disruption or annoyance or for failure to comply with reasonable requests or the rules of conduct for the meeting, including time limits applicable to attendees who are permitted to speak.

How can I participate in the Annual Meeting?

We intend to hold the Annual Meeting virtually. A virtual meeting is one held by means of remote communication. Stockholders will be able to join the meeting via the Meeting Website where they can listen to the speakers, view any presentations, submit questions and comments, hear the company’s responses, and vote their shares electronically. Rules of conduct and instructions to vote and to ask questions or make comments will be available at the Meeting Website during the meeting.

No recording of the Annual Meeting is allowed by anyone other than the Company, including audio and video recording.

We will endeavor to answer as many questions submitted by stockholders (or their proxyholders) as time permits and expect to allocate up to 20 minutes for the question-and-answer period. To allow us to answer questions from as many stockholders as possible, each stockholder

(or their proxyholder) will be allowed to pose up to two questions. We reserve the right to edit profanity or other inappropriate language and to exclude questions regarding topics that are not pertinent to meeting business or company business. If we receive substantially similar questions, we may group such questions together and provide a single response to avoid repetition. If stockholders have matters of individual concern or questions that are not addressed during the meeting, they can submit questions or comments on our investor relations website at https://investors.ebayinc.com/contact-us-and-resources/contact-us/default.aspx.

In the event of technical difficulties with the Annual Meeting, we expect that an announcement will be made on www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/EBAY2025. If necessary, the announcement will provide updated information regarding the date, time, and location of the Annual Meeting. Any updated information regarding the Annual Meeting will also be posted on our investor relations website at https://investors.ebayinc.com. If you have technical difficulty accessing the meeting, please call the U.S. or international phone number (as applicable) listed on www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/EBAY2025 for technical assistance.

Can I vote my shares at the Annual Meeting?

Yes. Shares held directly in your name as the stockholder of record, as well as shares held in street name through a broker, bank, or other nominee, may be voted at the Annual Meeting. Even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, eBay recommends that you submit a proxy as described in the Notice and below under “How can I vote my shares without attending the Annual Meeting?” so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the Annual Meeting.

How can I vote my shares without attending the Annual Meeting?

If you are a stockholder of record, you may vote by proxy. You can vote by proxy over the Internet by following the instructions provided in the Notice, or, if you requested to receive printed proxy materials, you can also vote by telephone or mail pursuant to instructions provided on the proxy card.

If you hold shares beneficially in street name, you may vote through a voting instruction form over the Internet by following the instructions provided in the Notice, or, if you requested to receive printed proxy materials, you can also vote by telephone or mail by following the voting instruction form provided to you by your broker, bank, or other nominee.

Can I change my vote or revoke my proxy?

Yes. If you are the stockholder of record, you may change your proxy instructions or revoke your proxy at any time before your proxy is voted at the Annual Meeting. Proxies may be revoked by any of the following actions:

•

filing a timely written notice of revocation with our Corporate Secretary at our principal executive office (2025 Hamilton Avenue, San Jose, California 95125);

•

submitting a new proxy at a later date via the Internet, by telephone, or by mail following the instructions provided in the Notice or, if requested, the proxy card; or

•

attending the Annual Meeting and voting (attendance at the Annual Meeting will not, by itself, revoke a proxy).

If your shares are held in a brokerage account or by a broker, bank, or other nominee, you should follow the instructions provided by your broker, bank, or other nominee.

Only the latest validly executed proxy that you submit will be counted.

How are votes counted?

You may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST,” or “ABSTAIN” with respect to each of the director nominees named in this Proxy Statement. If you elect to abstain from voting on the election of directors, the abstention will not have any effect on the election of directors. In tabulating the voting results for the election of directors, only “FOR” and “AGAINST” votes are counted.

You may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST,” or “ABSTAIN” with respect to:

•

the ratification of the appointment of independent auditors;

•

the advisory vote to approve named executive officers’ compensation;

•

the approval of the amendment and restatement of the eBay Equity Incentive Award Plan; and

•

each of the stockholder proposals.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

94 2025 Proxy Statement

If you elect to abstain from voting on any of these proposals, the abstention will have the same effect as an “AGAINST” vote with respect to such proposal, except that such abstention will have no effect on the election of directors.

If you provide specific instructions with regard to certain proposals, your shares will be voted as you instruct on such proposals. If no instructions are indicated, the shares will be voted as recommended by our Board.

Who will count the votes?

A representative of Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. will tabulate the votes and act as the inspector of election.

What is the quorum requirement for the Annual Meeting?

The quorum requirement for holding the Annual Meeting and transacting business is a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to be voted at the Annual Meeting. The shares may be present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted as present for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum.

What is the voting requirement to approve each of the proposals? What effect will abstentions and broker non-votes have?

The following chart describes the proposals to be considered at the Annual Meeting, the vote required to elect directors to the Board and to adopt each of the other proposals, and the manner in which votes will be counted. Shares voted “ABSTAIN” and shares not represented at the meeting have no effect on the election of directors.

For each of the other proposals, abstentions have the same effect as “AGAINST” votes. If you are a beneficial holder and do not provide specific voting instructions to your broker, the organization that holds your shares will not be authorized to vote your shares, which would result in “broker non-votes,” on proposals other than the ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as our independent auditors for 2025. Accordingly, we encourage you to vote promptly, even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting.

A broker non-vote occurs when shares held by a broker, bank, or other nominee in “street name” for a beneficial owner are not voted with respect to a particular proposal because the broker, bank, or other nominee (1) has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner and (2) lacks discretionary voting power to vote those shares with respect to that particular proposal.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

2025 Proxy Statement 95

What happens if a nominee who is duly nominated does not receive a majority vote?

Each current director who is standing for election at the Annual Meeting has tendered an irrevocable resignation from the Board that will become effective if (1) the election is uncontested and (2) the CGNC or another committee of the Board comprised of independent directors determines to accept such resignation after the director fails to receive a majority of votes cast. This determination will be made within 90 days of the Annual Meeting (subject to an additional 90-day period in certain circumstances) and will be publicly reported promptly after it is made.

Where can I find the voting results of the Annual Meeting?

We will report the voting results in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC following the Annual Meeting.

Who will bear the cost of soliciting votes for the Annual Meeting?

eBay will pay the entire cost of the solicitation of proxies. eBay has retained the services of Morrow Sodali LLC a professional proxy solicitation firm, to aid in the solicitation of proxies. eBay expects that it will pay Morrow Sodali LLC its customary fees, estimated not to exceed approximately $19,000 in the aggregate, plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in the process of soliciting proxies. eBay has agreed to indemnify Morrow Sodali against certain liabilities relating to or arising out of their engagement. In addition, eBay may reimburse brokerage firms and other persons representing beneficial owners of shares for their expenses in forwarding solicitation materials to such beneficial owners. eBay must also pay banks, brokerage houses, fiduciaries, and custodians holding in their names shares of our common stock beneficially owned by others certain fees associated with:

•

forwarding the Notice to beneficial owners;

•

forwarding printed proxy materials to beneficial owners who specifically request them; and

•

obtaining beneficial owners’ voting instructions.

Solicitations may also be made by personal interview, mail, telephone, facsimile, email, Twitter, other electronic channels of communication, in particular LinkedIn, eBay’s investor relations website, other eBay-hosted websites and blogs, or otherwise by directors, officers, and other employees of eBay, but eBay will not additionally compensate its directors, officers, or other employees for these services.

May I propose actions for consideration at next year’s Annual Meeting or nominate individuals to serve as directors?

Yes. You may submit proposals for consideration at future annual stockholder meetings. To be considered for inclusion in the proxy materials for our 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, your proposal (other than a proposal for director nomination) must be received by our Corporate Secretary at our principal executive office no later than December 31, 2025. Your proposal must comply with the procedures and requirements set forth in Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act. Your proposal should be sent to our Corporate Secretary at our principal executive office (1) via registered, certified or express mail to 2025 Hamilton Avenue, San Jose, California 95125, or (2) via email to shareholderproposals@ebay.com (with a confirmation copy sent via first class mail to our Corporate Secretary at the foregoing address). Please note: submissions to any other eBay email accounts or facsimile submissions, including our investor relations email accounts, will not be accepted.

A stockholder proposal or nomination for director will generally not be included in our proxy materials but will otherwise be considered at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders so long as it is submitted, together with the information required by our bylaws, to our Corporate Secretary at our principal executive office no earlier than February 25, 2026 and no later than March 27, 2026 and otherwise in accordance with our bylaws.

In order to comply with the SEC’s universal proxy rule, stockholders who intend to solicit proxies for director nominees submitted under the advance notice requirements of our bylaws must also comply with the additional requirements of Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act. However, we note that the deadline provided for in Rule 14a-19 does not supersede any of the requirements or timing required by our bylaws. We encourage stockholders who wish to submit a proposal or nomination to seek independent counsel. We will not consider any proposal or nomination that is not timely or otherwise does not meet the bylaw and SEC requirements. We reserve the right to reject, rule out of order, or take other appropriate action with respect to any proposal that does not comply with these and other applicable requirements.

Our bylaws also provide that, under certain circumstances, a stockholder or group of stockholders may include director candidates that they have nominated in the proxy materials for our annual meetings. These proxy access provisions of our bylaws provide, among other things,

TABLE OF CONTENTS

96 2025 Proxy Statement

that a stockholder, or a group of up to 20 stockholders, owning 3% or more of the Company’s outstanding stock continuously for at least three years, may nominate, and include in our proxy materials for an annual meeting, two individuals to serve as directors or 20% of the Board, whichever is greater. The nominating stockholder or group of stockholders also must deliver the information required by, and each nominee must meet the qualifications required by, our bylaws. Requests to include stockholder-nominated candidates in the Company’s proxy materials for the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders must be received by the Corporate Secretary at the above address no earlier than February 25, 2026 and no later than March 27, 2026. We advise you to review our bylaws, which contain these and other requirements with respect to advance notice of stockholder proposals and director nominations and proxy access nominations, including certain information that must be included concerning the stockholder and each proposal and nominee. Failure to comply with the requirements, procedures and deadlines in our bylaws may preclude presentation and consideration of the matter or nomination of the applicable candidate for election at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Our bylaws were filed with the SEC as an exhibit to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and can be viewed by visiting our investor relations website at https://investors.ebayinc.com/financial-information/annual-reports/default.aspx. You may also obtain a copy by writing to our Corporate Secretary at our principal executive office (2025 Hamilton Avenue, San Jose, California 95125).

How can I get electronic access to the Proxy Statement and Annual Report?

The Notice, proxy card or voting instruction form will contain instructions on how to:

•

view our proxy materials for the Annual Meeting on the Internet and vote your shares; and

•

instruct us to send our future proxy materials to you electronically by email.

Our proxy materials are also available on our investor relations website at
https://investors.ebayinc.com/financial-information/annual-reports/default.aspx.

You can choose to receive future proxy materials electronically by visiting our investor relations website at https://investors.ebayinc.com/financial-information/annual-reports/default.aspx. If you choose to receive future proxy materials electronically, you will receive an email next year with instructions containing a link to those materials and a link to the proxy voting site. Your choice to receive proxy materials electronically will remain in effect until you contact eBay Investor Relations and tell us otherwise. You may visit our investor relations website at https://investors.ebayinc.com or contact eBay Investor Relations by mail at 2025 Hamilton Avenue, San Jose, California 95125, by email at ir@ebay.com or by telephone at (408) 376-7493.

How do I obtain a paper copy of the proxy materials?

If you would like to receive a paper copy of our proxy materials, please follow the instructions included in the Notice.

How do I obtain a separate set of proxy materials if I share an address with other stockholders?

eBay has adopted an SEC-approved procedure called “householding.” Under this procedure, we are delivering a single copy of the Notice and, if applicable, the proxy materials to multiple stockholders who share an address, unless otherwise requested from one or more of the stockholders. This procedure reduces the environmental impact of our annual meetings and reduces our printing and mailing costs. Stockholders who participate in householding will continue to be able to access and receive separate proxy cards. If you reside at such an address and wish to receive a separate copy of the Notice and, if applicable, the proxy materials, including our annual report, you may contact eBay Investor Relations by mail at 2025 Hamilton Avenue, San Jose, California 95125, by email at ir@ebay.com or by telephone at (408) 376-7493 and we will promptly deliver a separate copy of the Notice and, if applicable, the proxy materials. You may also contact eBay Investor Relations if you would like to receive separate copies in the future, or if you are receiving multiple copies of our proxy materials and would like to receive only one copy in the future. Stockholders who hold shares in street name (as described above) may contact their broker, bank, or other nominee to request information about householding.

SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

3.1 Number of Shares.

(a) Subject to Article 12 and Section 3.1(b), the aggregate number of shares of Stock which may be issued or transferred pursuant to Awards granted under the Plan on or after the Effective Date of the Plan is (i) the number of shares of Stock available under the Plan immediately prior to the Effective Date, plus (ii) 3020 million shares of Stock. Any shares of Stock that are subject to Awards granted under the Plan on or after June 2125, 20232025 shall be counted against this limit as one (1) share for every share of Stock subject to the Award granted.

(b) To the extent that an award granted under the Plan or the Prior Plan terminates, expires, or lapses for any reason, or such an award is settled in cash without delivery of shares to the Participant, then any shares of Stock subject to the award shall again be available for the grant of an Award pursuant to the Plan. Any such shares of Stock that cease to be subject to an Award shall be added to the number of shares available under the Plan as one (1) share for every share of Stock that ceases to be subject to such award. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.1(b) to the contrary, shares of Stock subject to an award under this Plan or the Prior Plan may not again be made available for issuance under this Plan if such shares are: (x) shares delivered to or withheld by the Company to pay the exercise price of an Option, (y) shares delivered to or withheld by the Company to satisfy withholding taxes related to such an award or (z) shares that were subject to an award and were not issued upon the net settlement of such award. Additionally, shares of Stock repurchased by the Company using Option exercise proceeds will not increase the number of shares of Stock available for issuance under the Plan and SARs payable in shares shall reduce the number of shares that may be issued under the Plan by the gross number of shares subject to the SAR (or the portion thereof being exercised), not the net number of shares issued upon exercise of the SAR. To the extent permitted by applicable law or any exchange rule, shares of Stock issued in assumption of, or in substitution for, any outstanding awards of any entity acquired in any form of combination by the Company or any Subsidiary shall not be counted against shares of Stock available for grant pursuant to this Plan. The payment of Dividend Equivalents in cash in conjunction with any outstanding Awards shall not be counted against the shares available for issuance under the Plan. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3.1(b), no shares of Stock may again be optioned, granted or awarded if such action would cause an Incentive Stock Option to fail to qualify as an incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Code.

3.2 Stock Distributed. Any Stock distributed pursuant to an Award may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued Stock, treasury Stock or Stock purchased on the open market.

Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in order to comply with the laws in other countries in which the Company and its Subsidiaries operate or have Eligible Individuals, the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall have the power and authority to: (i) determine which Subsidiaries shall be covered by the Plan; (ii) determine which Eligible Individuals outside the United States are eligible to participate in the Plan; (iii) modify the terms and conditions of any Award granted to Eligible Individuals outside the United States to comply with applicable foreign laws; (iv) establish subplans and modify exercise procedures and other terms and procedures, to the extent such actions may be necessary or advisable, including adoption of rules, procedures or sub-plans applicable to particular Subsidiaries or Participants residing in particular locations; provided, however, that no such subplans and/or modifications shall increase the share limitations contained in Sections 3.1 and 3.3 of the Plan; and (v) take any action, before or after an Award is made, that it deems advisable to obtain approval or comply with any necessary local governmental regulatory exemptions or approvals. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee is specifically authorized to adopt rules, procedures and sub-plans with provisions that limit or modify rights on eligibility to receive an Award under the Plan or on death, disability, retirement or other Termination of Service, available methods of exercise or settlement of an Award, payment of income, social insurance contributions and payroll taxes, the shifting of employer tax liability to the Participant, the withholding procedures and handling of any Stock certificates or other indicia of ownership.

The Committee shall also determine the performance or other conditions, if any, that must be satisfied before all or part of an Option may be exercised.

(c) Evidence of Grant. All Options shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement between the Company and the Participant. The Award Agreement shall include such additional provisions as may be specified by the Committee.

5.2 Incentive Stock Options. Incentive Stock Options shall be granted only to Employees and the terms of any Incentive Stock Options granted pursuant to the Plan, in addition to the requirements of Section 5.1, must comply with the provisions of this Section 5.2.

(i) Ten years from the date it is granted, unless an earlier time is set in the Award Agreement;

(ii) Three months after the Participant’s termination of employment as an Employee; and

(iii) One year after the date of the Participant’s termination of employment or service on account of Disability or death. Upon the Participant’s Disability or death, any Incentive Stock Options exercisable at the Participant’s Disability or death may be exercised by the Participant’s legal representative or representatives, by the person or persons entitled to do so pursuant to the Participant’s last will and testament, or, if the Participant fails to make testamentary disposition of such Incentive Stock Option or dies intestate, by the person or persons entitled to receive the Incentive Stock Option pursuant to the applicable laws of descent and distribution.

(b) Dollar Limitation. The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time the Option is granted) of all shares of Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are first exercisable by a Participant in any calendar year may not exceed $100,000 or such other limitation as imposed by Section 422(d) of the Code, or any successor provision. To the extent that Incentive Stock Options are first exercisable by a Participant in excess of such limitation, the excess shall be considered Non-Qualified Stock Options.

(c) Ten Percent Owners. An Incentive Stock Option shall be granted to any individual who, at the date of grant, owns stock possessing more than ten percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of Stock of the Company only if such Option is granted at a price that is not less than 110% of Fair Market Value on the date of grant (or the date the Option is modified, extended or renewed for purposes of Section 424(h) of the Code) and the Option is exercisable for no more than five years from the date of grant.

(d) Notice of Disposition. The Participant shall give the Company prompt notice of any disposition of shares of Stock acquired by exercise of an Incentive Stock Option within (i) two years from the date of grant of such Incentive Stock Option or (ii) one year after the transfer of such shares of Stock to the Participant.

(e) Right to Exercise. During a Participant’s lifetime, an Incentive Stock Option may be exercised only by the Participant.

(f) Failure to Meet Requirements. Any Option (or portion thereof) purported to be an Incentive Stock Option, which, for any reason, fails to meet the requirements of Section 422 of the Code shall be considered a Non-Qualified Stock Option.

5.3 Substitution of Stock Appreciation Rights. Subject to Section 10.8, the Committee may provide in the Award Agreement evidencing the grant of an Option that the Committee, in its sole discretion, shall have to right to substitute a Stock Appreciation Right for such Option at any time prior to or upon exercise of such Option; provided, that such Stock Appreciation Right shall be exercisable with respect to the same number of shares of Stock for which such substituted Option would have been exercisable.

5.4 Substitute Awards. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 5 to the contrary, in the case of an Option that is granted under the Plan upon the assumption of, or in substitution for, outstanding equity awards previously granted by a company or other entity in connection with a transaction, such as a merger, combination, consolidation or acquisition of property or stock, the exercise price per share of the shares subject to such Option may be less than the Fair Market Value per share on the date of grant, provided, that the excess of: (a) the aggregate Fair Market Value (as of the date such Award is granted) of the shares subject to the Award, over (b) the aggregate exercise price thereof does not exceed the excess of: (x) the aggregate fair market value (as of the time immediately preceding the transaction giving rise to the Award, such fair market value to be determined by the Committee) of the shares of the predecessor entity that were subject to the grant assumed or substituted for by the Company, over (y) the aggregate exercise price of such shares.

Restricted Stock may not be sold or encumbered until all restrictions are terminated or expire.

6.3 Repurchase or Forfeiture of Restricted Stock. If no price was paid by the Participant for the Restricted Stock, upon a Termination of Service the Participant’s rights in unvested Restricted Stock then subject to restrictions shall lapse, and such Restricted Stock shall be surrendered to the Company without consideration. If a price was paid by the Participant for the Restricted Stock, upon a Termination of Service the Company shall have the right to repurchase from the Participant the unvested Restricted Stock then subject to restrictions at a cash price per share equal to the price paid by the Participant for such Restricted Stock or such other amount as may be specified in the Award Agreement.

If certificates representing shares of Restricted Stock are registered in the name of the Participant, certificates must bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions, and restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock, and the Company may, at its discretion, retain physical possession of the certificate until such time as all applicable restrictions lapse.

6.5 Section 83(b) Election. If a Participant makes an election under Section 83(b) of the Code to be taxed with respect to the Restricted Stock as of the date of transfer of the Restricted Stock rather than as of the date or dates upon which the Participant would otherwise be taxable under Section 83(a) of the Code, the Participant shall be required to deliver a copy of such election to the Company promptly after filing such election with the Internal Revenue Service.

garnishment or any other legal or equitable proceedings (including bankruptcy), and any attempted disposition thereof shall be null and void and of no effect, except to the extent that such disposition is permitted by the preceding sentence; and

(iii) During the lifetime of the Participant, only the Participant may exercise an Award (or any portion thereof) granted to him under the Plan, unless it has been disposed of pursuant to a DRO; after the death of the Participant, any exercisable portion of an Award may, prior to the time when such portion becomes unexercisable under the Plan or the applicable Award Agreement, be exercised by his personal representative or by any person empowered to do so under the deceased Participant’s will or under the then applicable laws of descent and distribution.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 10.4(a), the Committee, in its sole discretion, may determine to permit a Participant to transfer an Award other than an Incentive Stock Option to any one or more Permitted Transferees (as defined below), subject to the following terms and conditions: (i) an Award transferred to a Permitted Transferee shall not be assignable or transferable by the Permitted Transferee other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution; (ii) an Award transferred to a Permitted Transferee shall continue to be subject to all the terms and conditions of the Award as applicable to the original Participant (other than the ability to further transfer the Award); and (iii) the Participant and the Permitted Transferee shall execute any and all documents requested by the Committee, including, without limitation documents to (A) confirm the status of the transferee as a Permitted Transferee, (B) satisfy any requirements for an exemption for the transfer under applicable federal, state and foreign securities laws and (C) evidence the transfer. For purposes of this Section 10.4(b), “Permitted Transferee” shall mean, with respect to a Participant, any “family member” of the Participant, as defined under the instructions to use of the Form S-8 Registration Statement under the Securities Act, or any other transferee specifically approved by the Committee after taking into account any state, federal, local or foreign tax and securities laws applicable to transferable Awards.

10.5 Beneficiaries. Notwithstanding Section 10.4, if provided in the applicable Award Agreement, a Participant may, in the manner determined by the Committee, designate a beneficiary to exercise the rights of the Participant and to receive any distribution with respect to any Award upon the Participant’s death. A beneficiary, legal guardian, legal representative, or other person claiming any rights pursuant to the Plan is subject to all terms and conditions of the Plan and any Award Agreement applicable to the Participant, except to the extent the Plan and Award Agreement otherwise provide, and to any additional restrictions deemed necessary or appropriate by the Committee. If the Participant is married and resides in a community property state, a designation of a person other than the Participant’s spouse as his or her beneficiary with respect to more than 50% of the Participant’s interest in the Award shall not be effective without the prior written consent of the Participant’s spouse. If no beneficiary designation is provided in the applicable Award Agreement or if no beneficiary has been designated or survives the Participant (or if a beneficiary designation is not enforceable and/or valid under the inheritance and other laws in the Participant’s country, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion), payment shall be made to the person entitled thereto pursuant to the Participant’s will or the laws of descent and distribution. Subject to the foregoing, a beneficiary designation may be changed or revoked by a Participant at any time provided the change or revocation is filed with the Committee.

10.6 Stock Certificates; Book Entry Procedures.

(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificates or make any book entries evidencing shares of Stock pursuant to the exercise of any Award, unless and until the Board has determined, with advice of counsel, that the issuance and delivery of such shares is in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations of governmental authorities and, if applicable, the requirements of any exchange on which the shares of Stock are listed or traded. All Stock certificates delivered pursuant to the Plan are subject to any stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee deems necessary or advisable to comply with federal, state, or foreign jurisdiction, securities or other laws, rules and regulations and the rules of any national securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Stock is listed, quoted, or traded. The Committee may place legends on any Stock certificate to reference restrictions applicable to the Stock. In addition to the terms and conditions provided herein, the Board may require that a Participant make such reasonable covenants, agreements, and representations as the Board, in its discretion, deems advisable in order to comply with any such laws, regulations, or requirements. The Committee shall have the right to require any Participant to comply with any timing or other restrictions with respect to the settlement or exercise of any Award, including a window-period limitation, as may be imposed in the discretion of the Committee.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, unless otherwise determined by the Committee or required by any applicable law, rule or regulation, the Company shall not deliver to any Participant certificates evidencing shares of Stock issued in connection with any Award and instead such shares of Stock shall be recorded in the books of the Company (or, as applicable, its transfer agent or stock plan administrator).

10.7 Paperless Administration. In the event that the Company establishes, for itself or using the services of a third party, an automated system for the documentation, granting or exercise of Awards, such as a system using an internet website or interactive voice response, then the paperless documentation, granting or exercise of Awards by a Participant may be permitted through the use of such an automated system.

10.8 Prohibition on Repricing. Subject to Section 12.1, the Committee shall not, without the approval of the stockholders of the Company, authorize the amendment of any outstanding Award to reduce its price per share. Furthermore, subject to Section 12.1, no Option or Stock Appreciation Right with an exercise price that is greater than the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock shall be canceled and replaced or substituted for with the grant of an Award or other property having a lesser price per share without the further approval of stockholders of the Company. Subject to Section 12.1, absent the approval of the stockholders of the Company, the Committee shall not offer to buyout for

a payment in cash, an Option or Stock Appreciation Right previously granted when the exercise price of the Option or Stock Appreciation Right is greater than the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock.

10.9 Award Vesting Limitations. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, but subject to Sections 6.2, 12.1, 12.2 and 13.3(d) of the Plan, Awards made to Employees or Consultants shall become vested on one or more vesting dates over a period of not less than one year (or, in the case of vesting based upon the attainment of Performance Goals or other performance-based objectives, over a period of not less than one year measured from the commencement of the period over which performance is evaluated) following the date the Award is granted; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Awards that result in the issuance to one or more Participants of an aggregate of up to 5% of the shares of Stock available pursuant to Section 3.1(a) as of Effective Date, may be granted without regard to such minimum vesting provisions. Nothing in this Section 10.9 shall preclude the Board or the Committee from taking action, in its sole discretion, to accelerate the vesting of any Award in connection with or following a Change in Control.

ARTICLE 11.
INDEPENDENT DIRECTOR AWARDS

11.1 The Board may grant Awards to Independent Directors, subject to the limitations of the Plan, pursuant to a written non-discretionary formula established by the Committee, or any successor committee thereto carrying out its responsibilities on the date of grant of any such Award (the “Independent Director Equity Compensation Policy”). The Independent Director Equity Compensation Policy shall set forth the type of Award(s) to be granted to Independent Directors, the number of shares of Stock to be subject to Independent Director Awards, the conditions on which such Awards shall be granted, become exercisable and/ or payable and expire, and such other terms and conditions as the Committee (or such other successor committee as described above) shall determine in its discretion. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, the aggregate grant date fair value of shares of Stock that may be granted during any fiscal year of the Company to any Non-Employee Director or Independent Director shall not exceed $600,000; provided, however, that (i) the limit set forth in this sentence shall be multiplied by two in the year in which a Non-Employee Director or Independent Director commences service on the Board, and (ii) the limit set forth in this sentence shall not apply to awards made pursuant to a Non-Employee Director’s or Independent Director’s election to receive an award in lieu of all or a portion of a cash retainer for service on the Board or any committee thereunder. This limit shall not increase except with stockholder approval.

ARTICLE 12.
CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE

12.1 Adjustments.

(a) In the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or exchange of shares, merger, consolidation or other distribution (other than normal cash dividends) of Company assets to stockholders, or any other change affecting the shares of Stock or the share price of the Stock other than an Equity Restructuring, the Committee shall make such equitable adjustments, if any, as the Committee in its discretion may deem appropriate to reflect such change with respect to (i) the aggregate number and kind of shares that may be issued under the Plan (including, but not limited to, adjustments of the limitations in Sections 3.1 and 3.3); (ii) the number and kind of shares (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards; (iii) the terms and conditions of any outstanding Awards (including, without limitation, any applicable performance targets or criteria with respect thereto); and (iv) the grant or exercise price per share for any outstanding Awards under the Plan.

(b) In the event of any transaction or event described in Section 12.1 or any unusual or nonrecurring transactions or events affecting the Company, any affiliate of the Company, or the financial statements of the Company or any of its affiliates, or of changes in applicable laws, regulations or accounting principles, the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, and on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, either by the terms of the Award or by action taken prior to the occurrence of such transaction or event and either automatically or upon the Participant’s request, is hereby authorized to take any one or more of the following actions whenever the Committee determines that such action is appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan or with respect to any Award under the Plan, to facilitate such transactions or events or to give effect to such changes in laws, regulations or principles:

(i) To provide for either (A) termination of any such Award in exchange for an amount of cash, if any, equal to the amount that would have been attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights (and, for the avoidance of doubt, if as of the date of the occurrence of the transaction or event described in this Section 12.1 the Committee determines in good faith that no amount would have been attained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Participant’s rights, the such Award may be terminated by the Company without payment) or (B) the replacement of such Award with other rights or property selected by the Committee in its sole discretion;

(ii) To provide that such Award be assumed by the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, or shall be substituted for by similar options, rights or awards covering the stock of the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and prices;

(iii) To make adjustments in the number and type of shares of Stock (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards, and in the number and kind of outstanding Restricted Stock or Deferred Stock Units and/or in the terms and conditions

2025 Proxy Statement 109

of (including the grant or exercise price), and the criteria included in, outstanding options, rights and awards and options, rights and awards which may be granted in the future;

(iv) To provide that such Award shall be exercisable or payable or fully vested with respect to all shares covered thereby, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or the applicable Award Agreement; and

(v) To provide that the Award cannot vest, be exercised or become payable after such event.

(c) In connection with the occurrence of any Equity Restructuring, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Sections 12.1(a) and 12.1(b):

(i) The number and type of securities subject to each outstanding Award and the exercise price or grant price thereof, if applicable, will be equitably adjusted. The adjustments provided under this Section 12.1(c)(i) shall be nondiscretionary and shall be final and binding on the affected Participant and the Company.

(ii) The Committee shall make such equitable adjustments, if any, as the Committee in its discretion may deem appropriate to reflect such Equity Restructuring with respect to the aggregate number and kind of shares that may be issued under the Plan (including, but not limited to, adjustments of the limitations in Sections 3.1 and 3.3).

(iii) To the extent that such equitable adjustments result in tax consequences to the Participant, the Participant shall be responsible for payment of such taxes and shall not be compensated for such payments by the Company or its Subsidiaries.

(d) The existence of the Plan, the Award Agreement and the Awards granted hereunder shall not affect or restrict in any way the right or power of the Company or the stockholders of the Company to make or authorize any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other change in the Company’s capital structure or its business, any merger or consolidation of the Company, any issue of stock or of options, warrants or rights to purchase stock or of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stocks whose rights are superior to or affect the Stock or the rights thereof or which are convertible into or exchangeable for Stock, or the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.

12.2 Acceleration Upon a Change in Control. Notwithstanding Section 12.1, and except as may otherwise be provided in any applicable Award Agreement or other written agreement entered into between the Company and a Participant, if a Change in Control occurs and a Participant’s Awards are not converted, assumed, or replaced by a successor entity, then immediately prior to the Change in Control such Awards shall become fully exercisable and all forfeiture restrictions on such Awards shall lapse, provided that, to the extent the vesting of any such Award is subject to the satisfaction of Performance Goals (or other performance-based targets established by the Committee), such Award shall vest at target level performance, unless otherwise set forth in the applicable award agreement evidencing the Award. In cases where an Award is subject to the satisfaction of Performance Goals (or other performance-based targets established by the Committee) at the time of a Change in Control, such Award shall be considered converted, assumed or replaced if, following the Change in Control, the Award is converted assuming achievement of the Performance Goals at target level or as otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement. The determination of whether an Award shall be considered converted, assumed or replaced shall be made by the Committee in its sole discretion and its determination shall be conclusive and binding. Upon, or in anticipation of, a Change in Control, the Committee may cause any and all Awards outstanding hereunder to terminate at a specific time in the future, including but not limited to the date of such Change in Control, and shall give each Participant the right to exercise such Awards during a period of time as the Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall determine. In the event that the terms of any agreement between the Company or any Company subsidiary or affiliate and a Participant contains provisions that conflict with and are more restrictive than the provisions of this Section 12.2, this Section 12.2 shall prevail and control and the more restrictive terms of such agreement (and only such terms) shall be of no force or effect. Further, to the extent that there are tax consequences to the Participant as a result of the acceleration or lapsing of forfeiture restriction upon a Change in Control, the Participant shall be responsible for payment of such taxes and shall not be compensated for such payment by the Company or its Subsidiaries.

12.3 No Other Rights. Except as expressly provided in the Plan, no Participant shall have any rights by reason of any subdivision or consolidation of shares of stock of any class, the payment of any dividend, any increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class or any dissolution, liquidation, merger, or consolidation of the Company or any other corporation. Except as expressly provided in the Plan or pursuant to action of the Committee under the Plan, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any clast, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number of shares of Stock subject to an Award or the grant or exercise price of any Award.

ARTICLE 13.

(j) Make all other decisions and determinations that may be required pursuant to the Plan or as the Committee deems necessary or advisable to administer the Plan.

13.4 Decisions Binding. The Committee’s interpretation of the Plan, any Awards granted pursuant to the Plan, any Award Agreement and all decisions and determinations by the Committee with respect to the Plan are final, binding, and conclusive on all parties.

13.5 Delegation of Authority.

GENERAL PROVISIONS

16.1 No Rights to Awards. No Eligible Individual or other person shall have any claim to be granted any Award pursuant to the Plan, and neither the Company nor the Committee is obligated to treat Eligible Individuals, Participants or any other persons uniformly.

16.2 No Stockholders Rights. Except as otherwise provided herein, a Participant shall have none of the rights of a stockholder with respect to shares of Stock covered by any Award until the Participant becomes the record owner of such shares of Stock.

16.3 Withholding. The Company or any Subsidiary shall have the authority and the right to deduct or withhold (by any means set forth herein or in an Award Agreement), or require a Participant to remit to the Company or a Subsidiary, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, local and foreign income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to participation in the Plan and legally applicable to Participant and required by law to be withheld (including any amount deemed by the Company or the Participant’s employer, in its discretion, to be an appropriate charge to the Participant even if legally applicable to the Company or the Participant’s employer). The Committee may, in its discretion and in satisfaction of the foregoing requirement, allow a Participant to elect to have the Company withhold shares of Stock otherwise issuable under an Award (or allow the return of shares of Stock) having a Fair Market Value equal to the sums required to be withheld. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the number of shares of Stock which may be withheld with respect to the issuance, vesting, exercise or payment of any Award (or which may be repurchased from the Participant of such Award within six months (or such other period as may be determined by the Committee) after such shares of Stock were acquired by the Participant from the Company) in order to satisfy the Participant’s federal, state, local and foreign income and payroll tax liabilities with respect to the issuance, vesting, exercise or payment of the Award (as described above) shall be limited to the number of shares which have a Fair Market Value on the date of withholding or repurchase equal to the aggregate amount of such liabilities based on the minimum statutory withholding amounts (or, if permitted by the Company, such greater amount that will not cause adverse accounting consequences for the Company and is permitted under applicable laws) or other applicable withholding rates.

16.4 No Right to Employment or Services. Nothing in the Plan or any Award Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate any Participant’s employment or services at any time, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue in the employ or service of the Company or any Subsidiary.

16.5 Unfunded Status of Awards. The Plan is intended to be an “unfunded” plan for incentive compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant pursuant to an Award, nothing contained in the Plan or any Award Agreement shall give the Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company or any Subsidiary.

112 2025 Proxy Statement

16.6 Indemnification. To the extent allowable pursuant to applicable law, each member of the Committee or of the Board and each person to whom the Committee delegates its authority under Section 13.5 shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company from any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by such member in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which he or she may be a party or in which he or she may be involved by reason of any action or failure to act pursuant to the Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid by him or her in satisfaction of judgment in such action, suit, or proceeding against him or her; provided he or she gives the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his or her own behalf. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled pursuant to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless.

16.7 Relationship to Benefits. No payment pursuant to the Plan shall be taken into account in determining any benefits pursuant to any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end of service payments, long-term service awards, pension, retirement, savings, profit sharing, group insurance, welfare or benefit plan of the Company or any Subsidiary except to the extent otherwise expressly provided in writing in such other plan or an agreement thereunder.

16.8 Effect of Plan upon Compensation Plans. The adoption of the Plan shall not affect any compensation or incentive plans in effect for the Company or any Subsidiary. Nothing in the Plan shall be construed to limit the right of the Company or any Subsidiary: (a) to establish any forms of incentives or compensation for Employees, Directors or Consultants of the Company or any Subsidiary, or (b) to grant or assume options or other rights or awards otherwise than under the Plan in connection with any proper corporate purpose including, without limitation, the grant or assumption of options in connection with the acquisition by purchase, lease, merger, consolidation or otherwise, of the business, stock or assets of any corporation, partnership, limited liability company, firm or association.

16.9 Awards Subject to Clawback. The Awards and any cash payment or shares of Stock delivered pursuant to an Award are subject to forfeiture, recovery by the Company or other action pursuant to the applicable Award Agreement or any clawback or recoupment policy which the Company may adopt from time to time, including without limitation any such policy which the Company may be required to adopt under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and implementing rules and regulations thereunder, or as otherwise required by law.

16.10 Expenses. The expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the Company and its Subsidiaries.

16.11 Titles and Headings. The titles and headings of the Sections in the Plan are for convenience of reference only and, in the event of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such titles or headings, shall control.

16.12 Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Stock shall be issued and the Committee shall determine, in its discretion, whether cash shall be given in lieu of fractional shares or whether such fractional shares shall be eliminated by rounding up or down as appropriate.

16.13 Limitations Applicable to Section 16 Persons. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Plan, and any Award granted or awarded to any Participant who is then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, shall be subject to any additional limitations set forth in any applicable exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including any amendment to Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act) that are requirements for the application of such exemptive rule. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Plan and Awards granted or awarded hereunder shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule.

16.14 Compliance with Laws. The Plan, the granting and vesting of Awards under the Plan and the issuance and delivery of shares of Stock and the payment of money under the Plan or under Awards granted or awarded hereunder are subject to compliance with all applicable federal, state, local and foreign laws, rules and regulations (including but not limited to state, federal and foreign securities law and margin requirements) and to such approvals by any listing, regulatory or governmental authority as may, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, be necessary or advisable in connection therewith. The Company shall have no obligation to issue or deliver shares of Stock prior to obtaining any approvals from listing, regulatory or governmental authority that the Company determines are necessary or advisable. Any securities delivered under the Plan shall be subject to such restrictions, and the person acquiring such securities shall, if requested by the Company, provide such assurances and representations to the Company as the Company may deem necessary or desirable to assure compliance with all applicable legal requirements. The Company shall be under no obligation to register pursuant to the Securities Act, any of the shares of Stock paid pursuant to the Plan. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Plan and Awards granted or awarded hereunder shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such laws, rules and regulations.

16.15 Governing Law. The Plan and all Award Agreements shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the principles of conflict of laws of that State.

16.16 Section 409A. To the extent that the Committee determines that any Award granted under the Plan is subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Award Agreement evidencing such Award shall incorporate the terms and conditions required by Section 409A of the Code. To the extent applicable, the Plan and Award Agreements shall be interpreted in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the Effective Date. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event that following the Effective Date the Committee determines that any Award may be subject to Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance (including such Department of Treasury guidance as may be issued after the Effective Date), the Committee may adopt such amendments to the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, that the Committee determines are necessary or appropriate to (a) exempt the Award from
