Acquisition of Tradera.com
 
On April 24, 2006, we acquired all of the outstanding equity securities of Tradera.com, an online auction-style marketplace in Sweden for a total purchase price of approximately $52.3 million, including approximately $0.6 million in estimated acquisition-related expenses. This acquisition allows us to expand our online auction-style marketplace in Sweden to bring more online trading opportunities to Swedish buyers and sellers. We accounted for the acquisition as a taxable purchase transaction, and accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed on the basis of their respective estimated fair values on the acquisition date.
