Staples.com shareholders approve tracking stock plan

Discount Store News, Nov 22, 1999

WESTBOROUGH, MASS. -- Shareholders of Staples.com approved the company's plan to create a separate tracking stock to reflect the e-commerce operation. With the new stock, Staples' existing shareholders will retain a significant majority interest in the e-tailer. The tracking stock will include the company's three e-commerce sites: www.staples.com, www.quillcorp.com and www.stapleslink.com.

The company will offer shares of stock to employees and may eventually file for an IPO.
