PayPal is thriving as part of eBay Inc. Being part of eBay Inc. for more than a decade has enabled PayPal's strong growth and global leadership position in digital payments. PayPal has not been held back by eBay Inc. In fact, as part of eBay Inc., PayPal has built relationships with VISA, MasterCard, American Express and Discover, with the world's leading point-of-sale providers, and with leading global companies such as Facebook and Samsung. Together, PayPal and eBay have strong, real synergies that benefit both businesses. These synergies cannot be easily addressed in arm's length commercial agreements. A partial separation of PayPal is not a new idea, and we're glad to see that Mr. Icahn now seems to agree that a full separation of PayPal is not a good idea. Our board regularly evaluates strategic options for the company, looking at the best ways to enhance our competitiveness, accelerate growth and deliver sustainable shareholder value.
