eBay Inc. to Separate eBay and PayPal into Independent Publicly Traded Companies in 2015

Paypal to become a standalone company and trade on its own in 2015

Ebay announced today they will separate its core business and Paypal as two separate companies that will trade separately in the public market.

eBay Inc. today said its Board of Directors, following a strategic review of the company’s growth strategies and structure, has approved a plan to separate the company’s eBay and PayPal businesses into independent publicly traded companies in 2015, subject to customary conditions.

Creating two standalone businesses best positions eBay and PayPal to capitalize on their respective growth opportunities in the rapidly changing global commerce and payments landscape, and is the best path for creating sustainable shareholder value, the company said.

The company expects to complete the transaction as a tax-free spin-off in the second half of 2015, subject to market, regulatory and certain other conditions.

 eBay Inc. President and CEO John Donahoe and company CFO Bob Swan will be responsible for leading the separation of each business, with board oversight. This includes determining appropriate management and capital structures for eBay and PayPal, and putting in place appropriate operating agreements. Neither Donahoe nor Swan will have an executive management role in the new eBay and PayPal companies.

Will you invest in Paypal as a standalone company ?

    With what I have paid in fees over the years, I feel like I should get some ownership.
