eBay has rejected GameStop’s $5.6 billion takeover bid, calling the offer “uncredible and unattractive.” The proposal, announced on May 4, valued eBay at $125 per share. GameStop, which holds approximately 5% of eBay’s shares, said it may pursue the deal through a proxy contest. This development adds a new dimension to on-chain and crypto news, as major retail and digital asset players continue to intersect. CEO Ryan Cohen stated that shareholders will be directly contacted if the bid is rejected.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that, according to market sources, eBay has rejected GameStop’s approximately $56 billion acquisition offer, calling the proposal “neither credible nor attractive.”

Previously, GameStop proposed on May 4 to acquire eBay through a cash-and-stock offer of $125 per share. GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen stated that the company currently holds approximately 5% of eBay’s shares and, if eBay rejects the acquisition proposal, it will consider launching a proxy contest to directly present the proposal to shareholders.
