Positive Impact 4 of 5 m&a Written later

Etsy completed its sale of Depop to eBay on July 30, 2026, receiving approximately $1.4 billion in cash, which includes a $1.2 billion purchase price plus $200 million of net adjustments and interest. Etsy plans to use the proceeds for general corporate purposes, including the accelerated share repurchase program outlined in its April 29 Shareholder Letter. The net proceeds remain subject to post-closing adjustments, and the actual gain on sale may differ materially from the $805.0 million pro forma estimate.
