Summary
eBay Inc. has filed an 8-K report on January 22, 2009, primarily to announce the date of its 2009 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, scheduled for April 29, 2009, in San Jose, California. This announcement is significant because the shift in the meeting date necessitates updated deadlines for stockholders wishing to submit proposals or nominate directors. Investors and potential proxy voters should note the specific deadlines for submitting proposals. Proposals intended for inclusion in the company's proxy materials under Rule 14a-8 must be received by February 13, 2009. Furthermore, proposals or director nominations submitted outside of Rule 14a-8, according to the company's bylaws, must be received by February 2, 2009. These deadlines are crucial for any shareholder intending to participate actively in the governance of eBay Inc. at the upcoming annual meeting.
