EBay Spurns GameStop’s Offer as Not Credible, Attractive
EBay Inc. rejected a $56 billion takeover offer from GameStop Corp.
Chief Executive Officer Ryan Cohen, describing the unsolicited bid as “neither credible nor attractive.”
EBay’s board turned down the offer after taking into account “uncertainty” around the financing plan, the operational risks involved and GameStop’s governance, Chairman Paul Pressler said in a letter addressed to Cohen.
Pressler also cited GameStop’s executive incentives and a takeover’s potential impact on eBay’s long-term growth.
