The Purchase Agreement also includes certain termination rights, including (i) by mutual written consent of Purchaser and Etsy, (ii) by either Purchaser or Etsy if a governmental authority permanently prohibits or makes illegal the consummation of the Transaction, and by Purchaser if a governmental authority imposes certain remedies in connection with the Transaction that are not required under the Purchase Agreement, (iii) by either Purchaser or Etsy if the Transaction has not been consummated by November 15, 2026, subject to a potential extension by either party to February 15, 2027 if necessary to obtain the specified required antitrust approvals (as it may be extended, the “Outside Date”), and (iv) by either Purchaser or Etsy, if the other party is in material breach of its respective representations and warranties or covenants under the Purchase Agreement such that a closing condition is not satisfied (subject to a cure period).

The forward-looking statements in this document address a variety of subjects including, for example, the timing of the closing of the Transaction and the potential benefits of the Transaction. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in these forward-looking statements: the possibility that antitrust and other approvals and conditions to the Transaction are not received or satisfied on a timely basis or at all; the possibility that Etsy may not fully realize the projected benefits of the Transaction; changes in the anticipated timing for closing the Transaction and receipt of regulatory approvals; business disruption during the pendency of or following the Transaction; diversion of management time on Transaction-related issues; the reaction of customers and other persons to the Transaction; and other events that could adversely impact the completion of the Transaction, including industry or economic conditions outside of our control. Forward-looking statements involve substantial risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those that Etsy expects. These and other risks and uncertainties include market risks, trends, and conditions. These and other risks and uncertainties are more fully described in Etsy’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including in the section titled “Risk Factors” in Etsy’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, and subsequent reports that Etsy files with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
