UPDATE: MORE TO COME.

The September 2009 deal valued Skype at $2.9 million. Post-deal, eBay would own 35%, Silverlake 50.6%, Canada Pension Plan (CPP) Investment Board 10.26%, Index Ventures Growth Fund 2.39%, Andreessen Horowitz 1.71%.

The new deal, as described by Kara Swisher, shuffles the percentages. Skype's founders get 10% of Skype in exchange for Joltid's intellectual property. (Does that mean the company? the software? permission to use the software? putting the software in the public domain FTW?). The founders can buy another 3% for $83 million cash. So 13% to the Z/F.

This means two things.

The rumored $83MM for 3% values Skype at $2.76 billion, discounted $157 million (5.4%) from the $2.92 billion when the deal was announced. Sweet for
