EBay Unit President Exercises Options

Friday June 1, 10:32 am ET EBay Unit President William C. Cobb Exercises Options for 5,000 Shares NEW YORK (AP) -- The president of eBay Marketplaces North America for online auctioneer eBay Inc. exercised options for 5,000 shares of common stock under a prearranged trading plan, according to a Securities and Exchange Commission filing.

In a Form 4 filed with the SEC Thursday, William C. Cobb reported he exercised the options Wednesday for $14.51 apiece and then sold all of the shares the same day for $32.11 apiece.

The stock sale was conducted under a prearranged 10b5-1 trading plan which allows a company insider to set up a program in advance for such transactions and proceed with them even if he or she comes into possession of material nonpublic information.

Insiders file Form 4s with the SEC to report transactions in their companies' shares. Open market purchases and sales must be reported within two business days of the transaction.

EBay is based in San Jose, Calif.
