VeriSign acquired by PayPal

I just called a VeriSign rep that I've been working with for the past few weeks. I have several clients who have wanted to move away from PayPal, so I've been trying to move them to VeriSign.

The rep's voicemail informed me that effective today, November 18, VeriSign has been acquired by PayPal.

I can't find any news links on this yet, so I will update as I know more.

UPDATE** I just spoke with the rep and the sale was finaliized today, but the purchase happened a month ago. How did I miss that?
