PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
The following documents filed by StubHub Holdings, Inc. (the “Registrant”) with the SEC are incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement:
| (a) | Amendment No. 3 to the Registrant’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-286000), filed with the SEC on September 8, 2025, which contains the Registrant’s audited financial statements for the latest fiscal year for which such statements have been filed; and | |
| (b) | The description of the Registrant’s Class A common stock set forth in its Registration Statement on Form 8-A (File No. 001-42846), filed by the Registrant with the SEC under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), on September 12, 2025, including any amendments or reports filed for the purpose of updating such description. | |
In addition, all documents filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act subsequent to the filing of this Registration Statement and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered hereby have been sold or which de-registers all securities then remaining unsold shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing such documents, except as to specific sections of such statements as set forth therein. Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed document which also is incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement. Any statement contained herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained in any subsequently filed document which also is incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement. Any such statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.
Under no circumstances shall any information furnished under Item 2.02 or 7.01 of Form 8-K be deemed incorporated herein by reference unless such Form 8-K expressly provides to the contrary.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
See the description of the Registrant’s Class A common stock set forth in the Registrant’s Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended (File No. 333-286000).
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
As permitted by Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Registrant expects to adopt provisions in its amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws, which will become effective immediately prior to the completion of the Registrant’s initial public offering, that limit or eliminate the personal liability of its directors and officers for a breach of their fiduciary duty of care as a director or officer. The duty of care generally requires that, when acting on behalf of the corporation, directors and officers exercise an informed business judgment based on all material information reasonably available to them. Consequently, a director or officer will not be personally liable to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, except for liability for:
| | any breach of the director’s or officer’s duty of loyalty to the Registrant or its stockholders; |
| | any act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; |
| | any act related to unlawful stock repurchases, redemptions or other distributions or payment of dividends; or |
| | any transaction from which the director or officer derived an improper personal benefit. |
These limitations of liability do not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission. The Registrant’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws will also authorize the Registrant to indemnify its officers, directors and other agents to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law.
As permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Registrant’s amended and restated bylaws will provide that:
| | the Registrant may indemnify its directors, officers and employees to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended, subject to limited exceptions; |
| | the Registrant may advance expenses to its directors, officers and employees in connection with a legal proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, subject to limited exceptions; and |
| | the rights provided in its amended and restated bylaws are not exclusive. |
The Registrant’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation and its amended and restated bylaws will provide for the indemnification provisions described above and elsewhere herein. The Registrant has entered or will enter into, and intends to continue to enter into, separate indemnification agreements with its directors and officers that may be broader than the specific indemnification provisions contained in the Delaware General Corporation Law. These indemnification agreements generally require the Registrant, among other things, to indemnify its officers and directors against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers, if the officer or director acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Registrant and, in the case of a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. These indemnification agreements also generally require the Registrant to advance any expenses incurred by the directors or officers as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified. These indemnification provisions and the indemnification agreements may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of the Registrant’s officers and directors for liabilities, including reimbursement of expenses incurred, arising under the Securities Act.
The Registrant has purchased and currently intends to maintain insurance on behalf of each and every person who is or was a director or officer of the Registrant against any loss arising from any claim asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, subject to certain exclusions.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits.
Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) 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 this 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 this 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 SEC 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 Filing 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 this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if this Registration Statement is on Form S-8 and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
(2) 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.
(3) 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.
(b) 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 this Registration Statement 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.
(h) 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 SEC 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.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of New York, State of New York, on September 16, 2025.

Re: Registration Statement on Form S-8
To the addressee set forth above:
We have acted as special counsel to StubHub Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the preparation and filing by the Company on the date hereof with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) of a registration statement on Form S–8 (the “Registration Statement”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), relating to the issuance of up to 102,277,704 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Shares”), which may be issued pursuant to the Company’s 2012 Restricted Stock Unit Plan (the “2012 Plan”), the 2015 Stock Option Plan (the “2015 Plan”), the Amended and Restated 2022 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2022 Plan”) and the 2025 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP” and, together with the 2012 Plan, the 2015 Plan and the 2022 Plan, the “Plans”). This opinion is being furnished in connection with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Act, and no opinion is expressed herein as to any matter pertaining to the contents of the Registration Statement or related prospectus, other than as expressly stated herein with respect to the issue of the Shares.
As such counsel, we have examined such matters of fact and questions of law as we have considered appropriate for purposes of this letter. With your consent, we have relied upon certificates and other assurances of officers of the Company and others as to factual matters without having independently verified such factual matters. We are opining herein as to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, and we express no opinion with respect to any other laws.
Subject to the foregoing and the other matters set forth herein, it is our opinion that, as of the date hereof, when the Shares shall have been duly registered on the books of the transfer agent and registrar therefor in the name or on behalf of the purchasers and have been issued by the Company for legal consideration of not less than par value in the circumstances contemplated by the Plans, assuming in each case that the individual issuances, grants or awards under the Plans are duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and duly issued, granted or awarded and exercised in accordance with the requirements of law and the applicable Plan (and the
September 16, 2025
Page 2
agreements duly adopted thereunder and in accordance therewith), the issue and sale of the Shares will have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Company, and the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. In rendering the foregoing opinion, we have assumed that the Company will comply with all applicable notice requirements regarding uncertificated shares provided in the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
This opinion is for your benefit in connection with the Registration Statement and may be relied upon by you and by persons entitled to rely upon it pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Act. We consent to your filing this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.
Sincerely,
/s/ Latham & Watkins LLP

STUBHUB HOLDINGS, INC.
RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT
(AMENDED AND RESTATED 2022 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE PLAN)
Pursuant to the Restricted Stock Unit Grant Notice (the “Grant Notice”) and this Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement (the “Agreement”), StubHub Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) has awarded you, in consideration of your services, the number of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) indicated in the Grant Notice (the “Award”) under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2022 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Award is granted to you effective as of the date of grant set forth in the Grant Notice (the “Date of Grant”). Capitalized terms not explicitly defined in this Agreement or in the Grant Notice but defined in the Plan will have the same definitions as in the Plan.
1. GRANT OF THE AWARD. The Award constitutes an Other Stock-Based Award under the Plan. Each RSU represents your right to receive on a future date one share of Common Stock for each RSU that vests.
2. RSUS AND SHARES OF COMMON STOCK.
(a) The RSUs and the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the RSUs may be adjusted from time to time as described in Section 9 of the Plan.
(b) Any additional RSUs and any shares of Common Stock, cash or other property that become subject to the Award pursuant to this Section 2 will be subject, in a manner that the Committee or Administrator determines, to the same forfeiture restrictions, restrictions on transferability, and time and manner of delivery as applicable to the RSUs and shares of Common Stock underlying the RSUs.
(c) No fractional shares of Common Stock, fractional RSUs or rights for fractional shares of Common Stock will be created pursuant to this Section 2. The Committee or Administrator will, in its discretion, determine an equivalent benefit for any fractional RSUs or fractional shares of Common Stock that might be created by the adjustments referred to in this Section 2.
3. VESTING; FORFEITURE.
(a) The RSUs shall vest in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in the Grant Notice; provided, that in the event of a Change in Control, the Committee or Administrator may take one or more of the actions set forth in Section 9(c) of the Plan. Except as otherwise determined by the Committee or Administrator, the failure to satisfy the vesting requirements set forth in the Grant Notice shall result in the forfeiture and termination of the RSUs for no consideration therefor.
(b) Except as otherwise determined by the Committee or Administrator, the vesting of the RSUs will cease as of the date that your Service terminates for any reason, and, except as otherwise determined by the Committee or Administrator, any RSUs that have not vested in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in your Grant Notice will terminate and be forfeited back to the Company for no consideration therefor on such date of termination.
4. DATE OF DELIVERY OR ISSUANCE.
(a) The issuance of shares of Common Stock in respect of the RSUs is intended be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code under the “short-term deferral exemption”, such that the issuance of shares of Common Stock will not trigger the additional tax imposed under Section 409A of the Code, and the Plan and this Agreement will be construed and administered in such a manner. However, the Company does not guarantee such tax treatment and shall not be liable to any party should any tax liability or penalty be incurred by reason of the application of Code Section 409A.
(b) Subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan, the Company will issue to you one share of Common Stock for each RSU that becomes vested in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth in the Grant Notice (and has not otherwise been terminated or forfeited) as soon as reasonably practicable following the Vesting Date and, in any event, prior to March 15 of the calendar year following the calendar year during which the Vesting Date occurs.
5. SECURITIES LAW COMPLIANCE. The Company shall not be required to issue any Common Stock underlying the RSUs or other shares with respect to your RSUs unless either (a) the shares are registered under the Securities Act, or (b) the Company has determined that the issuance would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The Award must also comply with other applicable laws and regulations governing the Award, and you will not be issued shares of Common Stock underlying your RSUs if the Company determines that such receipt would not be in compliance with such laws and regulations.
6. DIVIDENDS. You will receive no benefit or adjustment to your RSUs with respect to any cash dividend, stock dividend, or other distribution, except for any adjustments permitted under Section 9 of the Plan.
7. RESTRICTIVE LEGENDS. The Common Stock issued with respect to the RSUs will be endorsed with appropriate legends determined by the Company.
8. TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS. Prior to the time that shares of Common Stock have been issued to you, you may not transfer, pledge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or any portion of the RSUs or the shares of Common Stock underlying the RSUs. You may not use the RSUs or shares of Common Stock underlying the RSUs as security for a loan, nor may you transfer, pledge, sell or otherwise dispose of such shares.
9. AWARD NOT A SERVICE CONTRACT. Your Service is not for any specified term and may be terminated by you or by the Company or an Affiliate at any time, for any reason, with or without cause and with or without notice. Nothing in this Agreement (including, without limitation, the vesting of your RSUs or the issuance of the shares of Common Stock subject to your RSUs), the Plan or any covenant of good faith and fair dealing that may be found implicit in this Agreement or the Plan will: (a) confer upon you any right to continue in the employ or service of, or affiliation with, the Company or an Affiliate; (b) constitute any promise or commitment by the Company or an Affiliate regarding the fact or nature of future positions, future work assignments, future compensation or any other term or condition of employment or affiliation; (c) confer any right or benefit under this Agreement or the Plan unless such right or benefit has specifically accrued under the terms of this Agreement or Plan; or (d) deprive the Company of the right to terminate you at-will and without regard to any future vesting opportunity that you may have.
2
10. UNSECURED OBLIGATION. The Award is unfunded, and even as to any RSUs that vest, you will be considered an unsecured creditor of the Company with respect to the Company’s obligation, if any, to issue Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement. You will not have voting or any other rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to any RSUs, and with respect to the Common Stock underlying the RSUs, until Common Stock is issued pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement. Upon such issuance, you will obtain full voting and other rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to the Common Stock so issued. Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions, will create or be construed to create a trust of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between you and the Company or any other person.
11. WITHHOLDING OBLIGATIONS.
(a) On or before the time the shares of Common Stock underlying the RSUs are issued to you, or at any time thereafter as requested by the Company in accordance with applicable tax laws, you agree to make adequate provision for any sums required to satisfy the federal, state, local and foreign tax withholding obligations of the Company or any Affiliate that arise in connection with the Award (the “Withholding Taxes”). Specifically, the Company or an Affiliate may, in its sole discretion, satisfy all or any portion of the Withholding Taxes relating to the Award by any of the following means or by a combination of such means: (i) withholding from any compensation otherwise payable to you by the Company or an Affiliate; (ii) causing you to tender a cash payment; (iii) permitting or requiring you to enter into, or entering into on your behalf, a “same day sale” commitment with a broker-dealer that is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (a “FINRA Dealer”) whereby you, or the Company on your behalf, irrevocably elect(s) to sell a portion of the shares of Common Stock to be delivered in connection with your RSUs to satisfy the Withholding Taxes and whereby the FINRA Dealer irrevocably commits to forward the proceeds necessary to satisfy the Withholding Taxes directly to the Company or its Affiliates; or (iv) withholding shares of Common Stock from the shares of Common Stock issued or otherwise issuable to you in connection with your RSUs with a Fair Market Value (measured as of the date shares of Common Stock are issued to you) equal to the amount of such Withholding Taxes; provided, however, that, in respect of subclause (iv) above, the number of such shares of Common Stock so withheld will not exceed the amount necessary to satisfy the Company’s required tax withholding obligations using the maximum statutory withholding rates for federal, state, local and foreign tax purposes, including payroll taxes.
(b) Unless the tax withholding obligations of the Company and any Affiliate are satisfied, the Company will have no obligation to deliver to you any Common Stock.
(c) In the event the Company’s obligation to withhold arises prior to the issuance to you of Common Stock or it is determined after the issuance of Common Stock to you that the amount of the Company’s withholding obligation was greater than the amount withheld by the Company, you agree to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from any failure by the Company to withhold the proper amount.
3
12. TERMINATION OF RSUS. The Company, in its sole discretion, may terminate all or any portion of the RSUs (including the vested portion of any RSUs that have not been settled in accordance with Section 4 hereof) in the event that the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that you have breached any of your obligations under any confidentiality, non-disclosure, non-compete, non-solicit, non-disparagement or proprietary rights agreement or policy entered into between you and the Company or an Affiliate or Subsidiary.
13. NOTICES.
