Etsy Comments on 13D FilingsReiterates confidence in strong foundation and significant growth opportunities

BROOKLYN, N.Y., May 15, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Etsy, Inc. (NASDAQ: ETSY), which builds markets, services and economic opportunity for creative entrepreneurs, today commented on the Schedule 13D filings by TPG Group Holdings (SBS) Advisors, Inc. and Dragoneer Investment Group, LLC. Etsy values constructive engagement with its shareholders and is focused on maximizing value for all shareholders.

Josh Silverman, CEO of Etsy, said, "Since my appointment as CEO two weeks ago, I have gained an even greater appreciation for all that Etsy has accomplished over the past twelve years and its potential for growth and value creation. One of the most challenging things to do in a marketplace business is create a differentiated value proposition for buyers that provides a unique opportunity for sellers. Etsy has done just that, creating a strong technology platform and cultivating powerful loyalty driven by a robust seller community and 45 million listings."

Mr. Silverman continued, "We are now reviewing our strategic and operational plans to ensure Etsy is focused on the most value-enhancing near- and long-term opportunities. We will prudently invest in areas that will deliver the greatest returns. At the same time, we see significant opportunities to scale our marketplace business model and drive efficiencies. In everything we do, we will strive for operational excellence and focused execution. I am encouraged by what I have seen and heard from our employees, sellers, buyers, and shareholders. I'm excited to build on Etsy's solid foundation while increasing our focus on areas where we can do better. We look forward to providing a­dditional details when our review is completed."

Fred Wilson, Chair of the Etsy Board, said, "Consistent with its fiduciary duty, the Board will carefully consider all options to enhance shareholder value, following Etsy's review of its strategic and operational plans. Etsy is a great company and we are confident in the ability of our strong new leadership team to unlock the significant value inherent in the business."
