Allow me to translate this letter from eBay for those who don’t speak legalese:

Ryan,

We got your unsolicited offer to buy eBay for $125/share (half cash, half stock) supported by your 5% economic interest in eBay.

Our board, backed by the usual crew of bankers and lawyers who get paid either way, “thoroughly reviewed” it.

We’re rejecting it. Not because the math doesn’t work. Not because the highly confident letter from TD Securities for up to $20B on top of your $9B+ cash pile is fake. None of that.

We’re rejecting it because your entire approach to running a company is an existential threat to how we like to operate here.

Here are the reasons we feel this way, and the things we considered before paying consultants to write this:

1) We’d rather keep milking eBay as a “standalone” cash cow than let you turn it into something bigger and better.

2) Sure, you’ve got real financing lined up and you “know people” with deep pockets, but we’re going to call it “uncertain” anyway so we don’t have to engage.

3) Your plan would actually force real long-term growth and profitability changes we’d rather not be held accountable for.

4) The debt we pretended you can’t even obtain, the operational integration and focus on seller satisfaction, and most importantly, putting someone like you in charge of the combined entity all sound like a nightmare for our current leadership structure because all of us would have zero job security.

5) The valuation math only looks bad if you ignore the 46% premium you’re offering our shareholders and the upside from fixing eBay the way you fixed GameStop, which we are choosing to do and hoping nobody notices.

6) And I hope we buried the lede far enough here: Your governance and executive incentives are completely incompatible with ours. You and your board take zero cash, no salary, no bonuses, no golden parachutes. You buy shares with your own money and only get paid if shareholders win. We, on the other hand, like our nice, reliable annual payouts regardless of whether the stock is flat or the company is just coasting. We’re not about to hand over our golden goose to a guy who eats only what he kills.

Look, eBay is “strong” and “resilient” in the way every entrenched public company says it is while handing out eight-figure checks and perks to the C-suite. We’ve done the usual incremental stuff: tweaked the marketplace a bit, returned some capital, and we’d like to keep doing that without any cowboy from GameStop coming in and demanding actual skin-in-the-game accountability. Can you just leave us alone?

Our team remains focused on protecting the current regime and delivering “value”… mostly to ourselves and our consultants.

Thanks, but no thanks,

Paul S. Pressler
Chairman of the Board, eBay
(And proud beneficiary of the status quo)

A Statement from GameStop

[Sheriff Chad Bianco @ChadBianco]

As a California Sheriff, let me make this perfectly clear to those in the 49 other states.

You do not want Gavin Newsom as president someday.

Do not give this man the chance to do to our country what he's done to my home.

Tap to see something spooky...

@AngryJoeShow Youre so painfully stupid it hurts. The TDS is so strong with you libtards you cant even acknowledge that your side of the party is keeping the govt shutdown. Ignorance is bliss I guess. Fuck off and go celebrate Halloween Joe.

[Mirkrin @Mirkrin_]

@TheOmniLiberal GFY snowflake cuck. Insane twitch platforms morons like you and Hasan.

[Mirkrin @Mirkrin_]

@MYDFL Is that why Tina Smith and Klobuchar are two of the votes against it? DFL is a sad joke.

[Mirkrin @Mirkrin_]

@keithellison You're a tool Keith, and a very dull one at that. Why dont you and Mary Mortiarty work on stopping violent crimes in the inner cities? Or are we still pretending its super vibrant in Minneapolis? Your whole party is a sad joke. You all make me sick.

[Mirkrin @Mirkrin_]

@LittleCongress I mean Tim Walz literally supported and was a direct causation toward half of Minneapolis being burnt to the ground, dont hear you talking about that though. Be consistent, oh wait, you lefties cant handle truth or consistency.

@maziehirono Friendly reminder to shut your dumb ass up 😭

[Mirkrin @Mirkrin_]

The truth hurts, its why most people are afraid of it, especially when it doesnt suit their own narrative. Use critical thinking and stop believing the first thing you are told, and maybe then the truth really will set you free.
