eBay rejects GameStop $56B takeover bid as 'neither credible nor attractive'
eBay’s board on Tuesday rejected GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen’s unsolicited $55.5 to $56 billion takeover proposal, calling the offer "neither credible nor attractive." eBay said the bid raised material financing uncertainty and posed strategic risks to its business and long-term plan. The proposal would have valued eBay at roughly $56 billion and sought to acquire the company outright. The rejection preserves eBay’s independence and signals the company will not accept a deal it views as financially or strategically risky.
eBay Rejects Unsolicited Proposal from GameStop. "We have concluded that your proposal is neither credible nor attractive." www.prnewswire.com/news-release...
Bodega, Inc.303The worst she can say is no. What she actually says:
Bart Harley Jarvis89Did they offer them more in store credit?
Tommynaut70But half cash half stock??? How could they possibly reject such a solid proposal?
cass, runner shell ✨39the whole time all I thought was "eBay has seen shoddy deals before they're not taking this one"
lazyPYRO (Josh)36Finally a (almost) comparable offer to Microsoft trying to buy Nintendo back in '99
wiserthanwoe.bsky.social30Gamestop's plan was/still is to take out a loan for what eBay is worth and when it's theirs they sell it for parts, run it into the ground, and then sell it off to someone else. That'd get rid of their current debt. But there's an even more nefarious wrinkle to this. It isn't a full last
Hero The Zero30Wow who knew a dogshit company like GameStop trying to buy a company 4x their value would go over badly with the bigger company. GameStop hasn’t been relevant for nearly 10 years and has constant layoffs and store closures.
The Masked Game Counselor21But it's half cash, half stock.
GloverAran18The details are on our website
Reyn16It's extra funny to me that, instead of just rejecting the offer, they also went out of their way to call it stupid and ugly.
Lazesummerstone13Wait it was unsolicited as well? This is sadder then I was expecting.
Dulce Caffè ΘΔ13Honestly, business-speak is a very good language for utterly dismembering people who hit you with some dumb shit
Blue10“This is a joke, right? You’re not stupid enough to actually think we’d sell ourselves for 15 dollars and a few cents, right?”
Oahkery8"Neither Credible Nor Attractive" Found my bar trivia team name for tonight.
Cherry7Hell yeah suck it GameStop
PN Guinn7Eagerly awaiting Gamestop's proposal to buy Buffalo Wild Wings.
Renegade (Riot) ✊🏾🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️♿5Wasn't Gamescalp doing poorly not that long ago? Why would they ever think they would be able to buy anything with that looming over them and a shite offer?? I don't know if I want what they're smokin. Might mess me all the way up.
Bondforged Candylure4Get fucking bent, GameStop. Fuck off.
José3Gagged them a bit oop
monorail times3Did they look at the website?
Chuck E. Cheesus2Boy, if I had a nickel every time I heard that on a first date.
Totus Ubertas The Hoss2its like a great dane shaking off an amorous chihuahua haha.
Justaminoraccount2Basically: We are doing fine without you.
ODU Monarch '032Gamestop bro is a clown, and the response puts him in his place, lol.
jlcthree.bsky.social2You don’t say, eBay? Tell me more…
David Lovejoy2Yes, but what if ebay gets an offer to be bought by...Allbirds????
Godspeed You! Woke Moralists2This was always a stunt.
Well, yeah *EBAY REJECTS UNSOLICITED PROPOSAL FROM GAMESTOP *EBAY SAYS GAMESTOP OFFER NEITHER CREDIBLE NOR ATTRACTIVE
Matthew Borgard43I have the same reaction when they offer $10 in store credit for my pile of games
BUT ITS ON THE WEBSITE!!!
The Medium Lebowski10I remember once some guy traded a paper clip for something for something else and eventually a house so dream big, GameStop.
justinliberti.bsky.social9But it’s 1/2 stock 1/2 cash!!! What don’t they get?!? Hahaha
Paolo Bernardi3Cohen was trying to do a buy now pay later thing
Arthur Burns 2.02Smart of them to wait for it to blow over, a bit at least.
