STOCK-BASED PLANS STOCK-BASED PLANS
In May 2026, our stockholders approved the PayPal Holdings, Inc. 2026 Equity Incentive Award Plan (the “2026 Plan”) to replace the PayPal Holdings, Inc. 2015 Equity Incentive Award Plan, as amended and restated (the “2015 Plan”) as the source of equity awards granted on or after May 19, 2026, and no additional equity awards will be granted under the 2015 Plan following that date. The 2026 Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 39.1 million shares of our common stock, plus up to 44.6 million shares of our common stock underlying awards granted under the 2015 Plan that expire or are terminated, are settled in cash without the delivery of shares, or otherwise become available for grant in accordance with the terms of the 2015 Plan on or after May 19, 2026.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION EXPENSE

Stock-based compensation expense is measured based on the estimated fair value of shares at the time of grant and recognized over the award’s vesting period.
