Etsy: UK regulator clears Depop sale to eBay; closing expected July 30, 2026

Neutral Impact 4 of 5 m&a Written later

Etsy and eBay amended their agreement for eBay to acquire Depop, Etsy's wholly owned subsidiary, on July 12, 2026. The UK Competition and Markets Authority cleared the transaction on July 15, 2026, and the parties expect it to close on July 30, 2026. The amendment also changes the termination fee terms and moves the purchase price adjustment measurement date to July 17, 2026.

Key points

  • The UK Competition and Markets Authority cleared the Depop sale on July 15, 2026; closing is expected July 30, 2026.
  • The Second Amendment, dated July 12, 2026, sets the termination fee payable to Etsy at $68 million for terminations after June 30, 2026 and on or before July 15, 2026, and at $158 million for terminations after July 15, 2026.
  • Purchase price adjustment items, other than transaction expenses, will be measured as of 12:01am GMT on July 17, 2026, and eBay will pay interest at SOFR plus 0.40% per annum from that date through closing.
