Ebay-styrelsen avvisar GameStops uppköpsbud då det anses varken trovärdigt eller attraktivt

Ebays styrelse har bestämt avvisat ett uppköpsbud på 56 miljarder dollar från GameStops vd Ryan Cohen och beskriver förslaget som varken trovärdigt eller attraktivt.

Avslaget kom i ett brev som skickades tisdagen den 12 maj, undertecknat av Ebays styrelseordförande Paul S. Pressler. Styrelsen angav flera orosmoment, inklusive osäkerhet kring det finansiella förslaget, risker kopplade till belåning och ledarskapsstruktur, samt den potentiella påverkan på Ebays långsiktiga tillväxt och lönsamhet. De noterade även GameStops bolagsstyrning och incitamentsprogram för ledningen som faktorer bakom beslutet.
