eBay-Vorstand weist Übernahmeangebot von GameStop als weder glaubwürdig noch attraktiv zurück

Der Vorstand von eBay hat ein Übernahmeangebot in Höhe von 56 Milliarden Dollar des GameStop-CEO Ryan Cohen entschieden zurückgewiesen und den Vorschlag als weder glaubwürdig noch attraktiv bezeichnet.

Die Ablehnung erfolgte in einem am Dienstag, dem 12. Mai, versandten Schreiben, das vom eBay-Vorsitzenden Paul S. Pressler unterzeichnet wurde. Der Vorstand führte mehrere Bedenken an, darunter die Unsicherheit bezüglich des Finanzvorschlags, Risiken durch Fremdkapitalfinanzierung und Führungsstruktur sowie die potenziellen Auswirkungen auf das langfristige Wachstum und die Rentabilität von eBay. Zudem wurden die Unternehmensführung und die Anreizsysteme für Führungskräfte bei GameStop als Faktoren für die Entscheidung genannt.
