Re:   Project Sling

 

Dear Mr. Cohen:

 

GameStop Corp. (the “Company” or “you”) has previously discussed with TD Securities (USA) LLC (“TD Securities”, “we” or “us”) that it is currently contemplating the acquisition of or other business combination with eBay Inc. (the “Target”) (such contemplated transaction, the “Transaction”). In this regard, the Company has asked TD Securities to assess the availability of debt financing to fund a portion of the Transaction.

 

TD Securities is highly confident that funded debt of up to $20.0 billion could be raised by the Company in the bank and capital markets to support the effectuation of the Transaction. Our view is based on: (i) our internal financial analysis and assumptions surrounding the financing of the Transaction; (ii) our review of the various materials provided to us by you concerning the Target; (iii) current financial market conditions and (iv) the leadership of TD Securities over several years in successfully arranging financings for corporate clients.

 

TD Securities’ expression of confidence assumes, amongst other things, as determined in TD Securities’ sole discretion: (i) expected investment grade corporate credit ratings or investment grade unsecured public debt ratings from at least two of S&P, Moody’s or Fitch pro forma for the Transaction; (ii) satisfactory completion of our due diligence of the Target; (iii) receipt of satisfactory financial projections prepared by the Company; (iv) the accuracy and completeness of all information, whether oral or written, provided by the Company and/or the Target to TD Securities; (v) negotiation, execution and delivery of satisfactory definitive documentation for the Transaction and satisfactory completion of all conditions precedent therein; (vi) receipt of all necessary governmental approvals; (vii) the absence of any material adverse change in the business, condition (financial or otherwise), liabilities, operations, assets or prospects of the Company and/or the Target; (viii) satisfactory completion of all required AML and KYC requirements of the Company and/or the Target and (ix) the absence of any material adverse change in the banking, financial or capital markets conditions generally or in the market for debt financing for borrowers similar to the Company and/or the Target.
