(the "Company") filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the "Original 8-K") announcing the appointment of Henry Gomez to the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board").  The Original 8-K and the press release filed with it contained a typographical error relating to Mr. Gomez's biography as follows: the first sentence of the second paragraph of the press release and Item 5.02 of the Original 8-K stated that "Mr. Gomez served as the first leader of public relations and marketing at eBay Inc." but should be corrected to state that "Mr. Gomez served as the first leader of public relations and marketing communications at eBay Inc."  This Current Report on Form 8-K/A is being filed to make this correction. Other than correcting this typographical error, all other information included in the Original 8-K is unchanged. Attached as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference is a copy of the corrected press release.
