GameStop 提出 555 亿美金收购 eBay 方案
GameStop 提出了收购 eBay 的方案,收购后 Cohen 将担任新公司的 CEO,且不获取薪酬和奖金,仅根据公司业绩获得报酬。
为支持此次收购,GameStop 已获得 TD Securities 提供的 200 亿美元债务承诺。
GameStop 认为 eBay 的销售和市场营销部门未能有效利用其品牌知名度,因此将主要削减该部门的成本。
市场分析师认为,此方案对 eBay 而言可能不理想,因为会使其背负 GameStop 的债务。
Cohen 认为 GameStop 的实体店可以为 eBay 的“直播电商”等业务提供支持。

Under the proposed deal to buy eBay, Cohen would become the chief executive of the new firm and receive no salary or bonuses, being "compensated solely based on the performance of the combined company".GameStop, which currently has a stock market valuation of around $11.9bn, said it has a commitment letter from TD Securities to provide around $20bn in debt to help finance the deal.The majority of the proposed cost cuts would be in eBay's sales and marketing division, which GameStop said had failed to attract more users to a "marketplace with near-universal brand recognition".The proposal does not sound like a "terribly good offer" as it would saddle eBay with GameStop's debt, said retail industry analyst Sucharita Kodali from market research firm Forrester.It makes sense for GameStop because it could lift its valuation by being linked with a larger company like eBay, she told the BBC."The truth is, we are not necessarily putting two strong companies together," Kodali added.Shares in eBay jumped by more than 13% in after-hours trading when news of the potential offer emerged on Friday, while GameStop jumped by around 4%.GameStop's shops would give eBay a national network for its "live commerce" and other business operations, Cohen said.Cohen, who became the GameStop boss in 2023, has criticised its slow shift into e-commerce.
