EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Registration Statement on Form S-8 is filed by PayPal Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) in connection with that certain Share Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 17, 2018 (as amended, the “Share Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company and the sellers named therein regarding all shares, warrants and options in iZettle AB (publ) (“iZettle”). Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, on September 20, 2018 (the “Effective Time”), the Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding capital stock held by the shareholders of iZettle. Under the Share Purchase Agreement, each “in-the-money” unvested option held by an individual who is an employee of iZettle immediately following the Effective Time to purchase iZettle ordinary shares granted under the Terms and Conditions Governing Employee Stock Options 2013/2019, Terms and Conditions Governing Employee Stock Options 2017/2023 and Terms and Conditions Governing Employee Stock Options 2018/2024 (collectively, the “Plans”) that was outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time was assumed by the Company and converted into an option to purchase shares of common stock of the Company, on the same terms and conditions (including vesting and exercisability) as the iZettle stock option, except the number of shares of Company common stock subject to each such converted iZettle stock option equals (a) the number of ordinary shares of iZettle subject to each such iZettle stock option, multiplied by (b) the conversion ratio (as defined below), rounded down to the nearest whole share of Company common stock; the per share exercise price for each such converted iZettle stock option equals (i) the per share exercise price applicable to each such iZettle stock option divided by (ii) the conversion ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent; and for certain administrative and other changes required for consistency with the Company’s equity compensation plan. The “conversion ratio” is equal to 0.2165, which equals the fraction (rounded to the nearest 1/10,000) obtained by dividing $19.57 by the average closing price of a share of Company common stock as reported on the NASDAQ Global Select Market for the period of 10 consecutive trading days ending on (and including) the second trading day prior to the Effective Time. The agreed upon exchange rate is 8.90 SEK for $1.00. This Registration Statement relates to the 88,821 shares of Company common stock issuable pursuant to such converted iZettle stock options outstanding as of September 20, 2018 under the Plans. On October 18, 2018, the last reported sale price for our common stock on the NASDAQ Stock Market was $77.48 per share.

| ITEM 8. | EXHIBITS |
The Exhibits accompanying this Registration Statement are listed on the accompanying Exhibit Index.
| ITEM 9. | UNDERTAKINGS |
1. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(a) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective Registration Statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(i) and (a)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference herein.
(b) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
2. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
3. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
