Can GameStop buy eBay?

But I, Ryan Cohen, will be in charge.

Unhedged
Can GameStop buy eBay?

I'll be running it.

Unhedged
Can GameStop buy eBay?

It'll be my board.

Unhedged
Can GameStop buy eBay?

It'll be called GameStop, presumably.

Unhedged
Can GameStop buy eBay?

It'll have a different stock ticker.

Unhedged
Can GameStop buy eBay?

But eBay shareholders will still have... Well, they'll have a bunch of cash they'll take away.

And they'll also have...

But collectively, probably a majority of the new enlarged company.

Unhedged
Can GameStop buy eBay?

So it's $28 billion in total.

Unhedged

And so the offer, the headline offer is half cash, half shares.

Unhedged
Can GameStop buy eBay?

It's $125 per share, which is half cash, half shares.

Unhedged
Can GameStop buy eBay?

That is actually not quite right because the shares go up and down in value, obviously.

Unhedged

Unhedged
Can GameStop buy eBay?

They'd probably have to do something about GameStop's board, which is super flimsy, in my opinion.

Unhedged
Can GameStop buy eBay?

It's not a strong board.

Unhedged
Can GameStop buy eBay?

It's not an independent board very much.
