International Business: Paypal in $45 bln bid for Pinterest – Gulf Digital News

PayPal Holdings Inc has made an offer to buy digital pinboard site Pinterest Inc for $45 billion, people familiar with the matter said on Wednesday, a combination that could herald more tie-ups between financial technology and social media companies in e-ecommerce.

The per share price would represent a 26% premium to Pinterest's closing price of $55.58 on Tuesday.

PayPal plans to finance the acquisition mostly through stock, the sources said.
