Online seller eBay rejects GameStop's $56 billion takeover offer
eBay rejected a takeover offer from GameStop that valued the company at around $56 billion, with GameStop proposing to buy eBay for $125 per share in cash and stock. The responses across outlets describe the bid as unsolicited and not credible or attractive. eBay’s rejection letter from Chairman Paul Pressler states the bid is not credible and the board has reviewed it. Analysts questioned financing and strategic fit, with TD Securities reportedly securing up to $20 billion in debt financing for the deal. Conflicting figures appear (BBC/NY Post cite $55.5b–$56b ranges). The current state remains that eBay has rebuffed the proposal.
