Nag-offer si GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen ng $125 per share para sa eBay sa ₱3.42 trillion ($55.5 billion) acquisition bid na dumating noong May 4 nang walang prior discussions between the companies.
May 27% premium ang offer sa 30-day volume-weighted average price ng eBay at 36% premium sa 90-day average nito. Binuo ng GameStop ang deal as 50% cash at 50% stock, with shareholder election rights at pro-rata allocation. Nag-provide ang TD Securities ng ₱1.23 trillion ($20 billion) highly confident letter para sa acquisition financing.
Sinabi ng board ng eBay na ire-review nila ang value delivered sa shareholders, including ang GameStop stock portion at ang ability ng company na mag-deliver ng binding proposal. Tumatakbo ang marketplace across 190 markets at nag-generate ng ₱4.94 trillion ($80 billion) in gross merchandise volume during 2025.
Nag-project si Cohen ng $1.2 billion mula sa sales and marketing cuts, $300 million from product development, at $500 million from general and administrative expenses. Gumasta ang eBay ng $2.4 billion sa sales and marketing noong fiscal 2025 habang nag-add lang ng 1 million net active buyers. Pwedeng suportahan ng 1,600 US retail locations ng GameStop ang marketplace ng eBay through authentication, intake, fulfillment, at live commerce.
Bumili ang GameStop ng 4,710 BTC for $513 million noong May 2025 at may hawak na $9.4 billion in cash and liquid investments as of January 31. Idineposito ng company ang Bitcoin nito sa Coinbase as collateral para sa yield-generating options strategy. Inilipat ni Cohen ang GameStop from $381 million net loss before January 2021 to $418.4 million net profit noong fiscal 2025 habang may hawak na 9% stake at nagtatayo ng 5% economic position sa eBay through derivatives and beneficial ownership bago gumawa ng May 4 bid.
