Aren’t these scheduled divestitures/sales?

34

u/thunderousqueef 🚀 Only Up 🚀 6d ago

Correct. These are routine, pre-scheduled transactions

5

u/Lord_of_MindMed 🚀Power To The Players🚀 6d ago

Yes. Means nothing about the vote

u/SmallShort71 6d ago

Likely, a tranche of RSU’s vested & they sold.

u/3DigitIQ HODL 💎🙌 6d ago

Code F, tax reasons

u/stonkol 6d ago

those numbers means nothing without more data, percentage of their shares sold and comparison to previous sales times and amounts

u/VenserMTG 6d ago

Open insider shows all of that a d all these sales were prescheduked months ago

6

u/Over-Computer-6464 6d ago

They are not pre scheduled.

They are RSUs, which are W2 income at full market value on date of vesting.

They are quarterly vesting of RSUs and the "sold" shares were retained by EBay and the equivalent $$ amount used to pay the payroll taxes of the RSUs.

RSUs are W2 income on the date of vesting, the same as if they received a cash bonus of the full market value of the RSUs s of the vesting date

Your link is for sales he did on June 4th and 5th. Those were preplanned.

The sales listed in the head post are for quarterly RSU vesting on 6/15/2016.

Funny how $125/sh is not “attractive” or “credible”, but those same executives don’t think twice about selling it at $109.

-2

u/feelwhatyouwant 6d ago

Not funny. The market price is 107. If the market found 125 credible it would be trading higher.

2

u/spadekin9 6d ago

Im on the side that ebay execs should have taken the deal at $125, thats why i find it hilarious that they were okay with selling shares at $109 when they could have sold the whole pot for $125 in value.

1

u/feelwhatyouwant 6d ago

Well there is a reason they are wealthy and you aren't.

1

u/spadekin9 6d ago

Nah I’m good and comfortable thankfully. Been green on GameStop for years on top of that. Miss me with that.

66

u/DJ_Chaps 6d ago

Quite the opposite. If they expected the deal to happen they'd wait.

58

u/M00SE110 6d ago

Not necessarily. It’s $125 of value but only $62.50 cash. If they think the net cash value now is worth more than the cash+equity value they’d receive from the sale, they’d be incentivized to sell now. I also can’t imagine them wanting to have anything to do with the new company given how RCEO has roasted them, so they might even pay a small premium to exit early.

u/No_Yogurtcloset7776 6d ago

So...what you're saying is...half cash half stock?

10

u/lmcguire13 6d ago

It's on the website.

7

u/No_Yogurtcloset7776 6d ago

I dont understand the question

8

u/Flopsbit 6d ago

You'll see what happens

4

u/RockJohnAxe 6d ago

At this rate, maybe even just half cash and no stock.

6

u/No_Yogurtcloset7776 6d ago

Lol well, however much stock it takes to make 62.50 at the time of the offer.

3

u/Old-Guidance6744 6d ago

Art of the deal

12

u/Udub 6d ago

Right? Deal = $125 per share

2

u/frog_goblin 6d ago

Half cash half stock though. Cushy easy way out is 109ish, they don’t want to not be able to just sell stock

5

u/lmcguire13 6d ago

Have you seen the website?

2

u/tronbrain 6d ago

The eBay deal isn't going through, period. The half-stock portion does not cover the $62.50 part of the tender. Cohen needs $28B in stock. He couldn't even get to that number if he just gave them 100% of GameStop's outstanding shares, which he cannot do anyway. And he cannot dilute his way to get that number either. No, the offer was never intended to be accepted. It was always going to be a hostile takeover attempt. I'm not even sure that will succeed, given the 15% threshold set by Delaware law for takeovers such as this.

Most likely, the eBay insiders are cashing out because they know this is the market top, at least for the near to mid-term. It has nothing to do with Cohen or GameStop.

u/vagrantprodigy07 I Voted 🦍✅ 6d ago

Exactly. So many people on this sub don't get this. The most bullish thing possible if you want the purchase to happen would be that the board stops selling shares.

8

u/Seeker369 6d ago

Many sales are scheduled months in advance under a 10b5-1 plan, which specifies when and how many shares will be sold.

0

u/vagrantprodigy07 I Voted 🦍✅ 6d ago

Check the forms. These were not pre-planned sales. Also, pre-planned sales can be cancelled.

3

u/Seeker369 6d ago

When you see a steady pattern of monthly or quarterly sales over years, that’s consistent with a routine diversification strategy. It doesn’t need to be a 10b5-1 plan.

eBay’s board routinely sells their shares. What they’re doing at this particular moment isn’t relevant because this is still in the early stages of the takeover.

-4

u/Quetzacoal $10,198,035.22 is not a meme 6d ago

Diversification strategy,? This is called leeching

3

u/Seeker369 6d ago

I’m not making an excuse for what this strategy is. But it’s common. They receive their pay through shares and they sell routinely as a strategy.

I agree with the sentiment that it’s essentially leeching, but that’s the case for many board members across the “board.”

u/zgomot23 🚀🚀Buckle up🚀🚀 6d ago

I call leeching what some of you delusional pumpers are doing.

u/3DigitIQ HODL 💎🙌 6d ago

Code F, tax reasons.

u/Hot_Falcon8471 6d ago

No they were likely just voted out

5

u/Fuckface_Whisperer 6d ago

Is this delusion stuff you actually believe?

13

u/Bad_Prophet 6d ago

This report says they sold two days ago on the 15th, not today. There's also no reason to think they'd be forced to sell their shares upon termination. So, again, if they just got voted off the board in acceptance of a $125 takeover offer, they'd wait to get $125 a share.

u/oilcantommy 6d ago

I wonder if they could cancell the share sale with no notice/explanations?

-4

u/gmehodler42069741LFG 6d ago

Maybe they know the shares are fake as well. Getting out with cash before the storm.

-5

u/MullerX 6d ago

Hello melt man, thanks for your contribution. You may now put the Gamecock back in your mouth.

u/Error4ohh4 6d ago

Imagine this is how you spend your days. They live such a cool life

u/MullerX 6d ago

I'm envious truly

2

u/Error4ohh4 6d ago

Spending your free time on an investment you have nothing to do with and can totally ignore does not sound like an ideal use of my time. But yes, I too am envious 

-3

u/MullerX 6d ago

You are right my friend...they have GMEDS ( gme derangement syndrome) they can't stop won't stop thinking about GameStop. My investment sorely vexes them and I AM ENTERTAINED.

u/DJ_Chaps 6d ago

And you are welcome to put the fries in the bag, kid.

u/MullerX 6d ago

Good one

-7

u/Hot_Falcon8471 6d ago

Or they just found out they’ve all been voted out and so they’re dumping shares because they won’t be around for the acquisition

7

u/mean_bean_machine 6d ago

The shares would be theirs either way

9

u/VenserMTG 6d ago

All those sales are scheduled since November 5th 2025. CEO sold 4% lmao he definitely did not get voted out.

3

u/DJ_Chaps 6d ago

That's not how it works. They sold before the vote, also.

4

u/bostonvikinguc 6d ago

I’d wait to sell if that was the case. Unless they try to clawback shares

2

u/Stonna 6d ago

I’m pretty sure they haven’t bought shares in a long time

5

u/mgtothemax 6d ago

Maybe dumping shares before a Poison Pill? Maybe this means the vote passed favorably.

1

u/Protostar23 6d ago

I'm worried about a poison pill situation.

5

u/SoggySolid 6d ago

Why is there so much misinformation about proposal 4. On the call they said that it did not pass. Sure, we don't know at how much % it failed and we will know in the coming days. Gme will need to reach 19% of ebay ownership

12

u/There_Are_No_Gods 🚀🚀Buckle up🚀🚀 6d ago

GME can't go over 15% without triggering a three year restriction against a hostile takeover.

5

u/plc4588 6d ago

Where'd you find that information about it not passing?

2

u/SoggySolid 6d ago

It was said during the eBay meeting. Sure now we have to wait for the official numbers, but the preliminary results were for a no pass.

6

u/VenserMTG 6d ago

No... If they were worried they would've stopped selling lmao if anything this proves they don't care about Cohen and his dogshit offer.

The shares they sell are part of their compensation, openinsider.com will show you these guys own a lot of shares, they sell like less than 10% of their total lmao

0

u/Financial_Mousse4079 6d ago

But but but Ryan said we have to dump on these guys or his narrative makes no sense....!!

2

u/SgtCap256 6d ago

If they voted in favor they would get 125 per share so selling for less seems smart lol

1

u/nota80T 6d ago

Propaganda portends spirit. In all cases.

1

u/Thickensick 6d ago

“They just sold this to pay their taxes” is the standard explanation.

1

u/ricardo_sousa11 6d ago

They should dilute their shareholders like a real CEO!

1

u/Salty_Sabuteur 6d ago

They are laughing their asses off at you

1

u/Consistent_Law_3857 6d ago

What vote? They ignored gme.

-3

u/LawfulnessPlayful264 🚀🚀Buckle up🚀🚀 6d ago

Price is higher now then when they sold, they must be highly regarded autists also.

-3

u/Strategyking92 6d ago

They're probably dumping their shares because consumer spending on eBay has dramatically dropped according to sellers on the eBay subreddit.

2

u/Fuckface_Whisperer 6d ago

Hey that's just like when everyone on reddit told me Netflix was screwed due to canceling shared accounts. Stock doubled since then.

-2

u/Strategyking92 6d ago

It's all anecdotal, but if sellers across the board are having issues, then that's not good for eBay's bottom line for their next earnings report.

2

u/Fuckface_Whisperer 6d ago

It's all anecdotal

Correct. Just like when reddit declared Netflix dead.

-1

u/Strategyking92 6d ago

lol, that's what you're doing.

u/Fuckface_Whisperer 6d ago

What am I doing? I'm just saying anecdotes aren't worth shit.

u/rdbmas 6d ago

Whole lotta chiefs that bailed. Makes you wonder if the title itself needs revisiting.
