Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On July 12, 2026, Etsy, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Etsy”) and eBay Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Purchaser”), entered into a Second Amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the Sale and Purchase Agreement, dated as of February 15, 2026 (the “Original Purchase Agreement” and, as previously supplemented on May 21, 2026 (the “First Amendment”) and, together with the Original Purchase Agreement and the Second Amendment, the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the Purchaser agreed to acquire all of the outstanding equity interests of Depop Limited (“Depop”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Etsy, from Etsy (the “Transaction”). The material terms of the Purchase Agreement and the First Amendment were previously disclosed under Item 1.01 of Etsy’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed on February 18, 2026, and Item 1.01 of Etsy’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed on May 28, 2026, respectively, which descriptions are incorporated by reference herein. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the respective meanings specified in the Purchase Agreement.
On July 15, 2026, the Competition and Markets Authority of the United Kingdom (the “CMA”) cleared the Transaction. The parties now expect the Transaction to close on July 30, 2026.
The Second Amendment provides that upon receipt of such confirmation from the CMA, the Closing Date of the Transaction is fixed at the later of (a) July 30, 2026, and (b) the second Business Day after satisfaction or waiver of all closing conditions under the Purchase Agreement. The Second Amendment also provides that for purposes of determining whether the closing conditions regarding the accuracy of representations and warranties, the performance of covenants under the Purchase Agreement, and the absence of a material adverse effect are satisfied at the Closing, only events that occur from and after July 12, 2026 may be taken into account and only to the extent such events are attributable to intentional act or omission (including failures to cure) by Etsy or Depop taken with actual knowledge that any such conduct or omission (including failures to cure) would constitute or would result in a material breach or a material adverse effect.
As previously disclosed, the Purchase Agreement provides separately for termination fees of $90 million and $70 million payable by the Purchaser to Etsy under certain circumstances. The Purchase Agreement further provides for an additional fee ranging from $0 to $136 million, based on the date of termination payable by the Purchaser to Etsy upon certain termination events. The Second Amendment resets this fee to $68 million if the Purchase Agreement is validly terminated (other than for fraud or certain willful breach by Etsy) after June 30, 2026, but on or before July 15, 2026, and $158 million if validly terminated (other than for fraud or certain willful breach by Etsy) after July 15, 2026.
Under the Second Amendment, purchase price adjustment items (other than transaction expenses) will be measured as of 12:01am (GMT) on July 17, 2026 (the “Lockbox Date”) rather than the Closing Date, subject to customary protections against value leakage from Depop prior to Closing. The Purchaser will pay interest on the Closing Purchase Price at a rate equal to SOFR plus 0.40% per annum from the Lockbox Date through the Closing Date.
The foregoing description of the Second Amendment is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Second Amendment, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
