"These two massive trends play directly to our strengths and we are leveraging this transformation to extend and accelerate our lead."
EBay acquired PayPal in 2002 for $1.5bn. However, due to increasing pressure from activist investor Carl Icahn, the company decided to split PayPal in order to facilitate flexibility to both the companies.
