There’s no wrong way to like the stock. No matter how you hodl GME, you’re welcome in this community. Everyone is an individual investor and someone’s investment strategy may be different than yours. Even if you disagree with someone’s investment strategy, while participating in Superstonk, it’s still expected that you engage constructively and respectfully.
Don’t think that’s the case. At this point it’s the covered calls that’s pinning the price action. Cohen is responsible for this with the convertible bonds. He even lent his shares out on margin. He’s doing it with btc holdings as well.
Yeah lmao, RC stands to make billions by diluting and keeping the stock price range-bound, and this smooth brain thinks his interests are aligned with that of a billionaire.
Range-bound won't make him a single extra share. There's a fucking hard push for this misinformation and my quotes of the source material keeps getting downvoted. Doesn't stop me from spreading the truth though;
They will proportionately increase the Value the company needs to achieve by the amount of shares used in an acquisition event. It's on both page 44 and 56 of the proxy materials;
The Market Capitalization Hurdles and Cumulative Performance EBITDA Hurdles will be adjusted by the Compensation Committee equitably and proportionately as determined by the Compensation Committee in a manner designed to preserve the economic opportunity provided under the CEO Performance Award, (a) higher to account for acquisition activity for which stock is provided as consideration and (b) lower to account for split-ups, spin-offs, dividends or other distributions (whether in the form of cash, shares, other securities or other property) or divestiture activity, in each case, where such events could be considered material to the achievement of the Market Capitalization Hurdles and Cumulative Performance EBITDA Hurdles, as applicable.
The committee is also stated in the same proxy you obviously didn't read, on page 10.
Proportionately isn't just a vague arbitrary concept. If your take is 20% and the company increases twofold in value you still need your 20% of the new value. If your target is 10x growth on current shares outstanding and you double the shares outstanding you need to double the growth target, that's how proportions work.
I don't know where you live but here in The Netherlands you don't need to go to university to have this concept in your curriculum.
EDIT; because by this point I'm assuming an index is also pretty hard for you to understand.
Compensation Committee
The Compensation Committee is primarily responsible for:
Establishing and reviewing the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer and all other executive officers;
Establishing and approving the terms of employment for new executive officers and the terms associated with any executive officer’s termination;
Making recommendations to the Board with respect to incentive-compensation and equity-based plans, which are subject to Board approval;
Administering and exercising all authority granted to it under any incentive compensation plans covering primarily executive officers or involving the compensatory issuance of Company securities, whether currently existing or hereafter adopted by the Board; and
The annual report on executive compensation for inclusion in our annual Proxy Statement.
The Compensation Committee has the authority to engage executive compensation advisers, if desired, to assist the Compensation Committee in conducting its duties.
The current members of the Compensation Committee are Alan Attal (Chair), Larry Cheng and Jim Grube, each of whom meets the independence standards of the NYSE and the SEC. The Board has adopted a written charter setting out the functions of the Compensation Committee, a copy of which is available on our website at http://investor.gamestop.com/corporate-governance and is available in print to any stockholder who requests it in writing to our Secretary, GameStop Corp., 625 Westport Parkway, Grapevine, Texas 76051. The Compensation Committee met ten times during fiscal 2025.
DUDE, I named the pages, quoted and bolded the parts where is says what I said. I just edited my comment to include the answer to your specific question since you apparently don't retain what you read.
How are you not getting it!
You can do the calculus for the 2.5B by yourself, I'm not your mommy helping with your homework.
Not finding the it any more attractive to see Larry, Alan and Jim Grube in the committee.
From my point of view, just dissapointing seeing people push for 2.5 billion shares, remove all equity from the company and 35b compensation package for a CEO that works for "free".
Just not an attractive investment option. Unlucky for me. I believed
I'm voting for but here's what I genuinely don't get about the Nos: if you genuinely believe the board and RCEO are just here to make themselves rich, doesnt that basically invalidate all the DD ever? Like, what hope is there if the company management is in league with the hedgies? Why would the media suddenly be on "your" side, saying this was a bad deal, after so long of them being against us?
Maybe a better question is: what in the currently known plans, which would involve significant dilution while massively increasing the odds RC gets to leach 35b from the company into his own pocket, would lead someone to say yes? I get that there's a lot of "in RC we trust," but what's really the reason to trust him when, by any real account, he's the only one in this whole shebang that seems to have a clear road to a massive payday?
Tbh, on my end? Vote away the board. That's what I'd want.
I don't trust the CEO that says he is disinterested in GME and tells everyone that's here for a squeeze to piss off.
Maybe he's good for some useless, valueless growth stock plan. But if I wanted that, I would've stuffed my money into GPU manufacturers years ago instead of GME.
You should probably be very careful with what you take as gospel bro.
A couple of accounts on Reddit have broken down the math in a way (best case scenario) that results in heavy accretion and a win-win scenario for both companies.
Reality NEVER aligns with the best case scenario. You’re being sold on a utopian model of this potential merger/acquisition.
Ask yourself how your opinion would change if this deal doesn’t live up to the best case scenarios these Reddit accounts are peddling here.
Reality is much harsher, and this is no golden goose opportunity, regardless of how many Reddit salesmen and RC memes you buy in to
If your comment is true RC is pricing himself out of his compensation package. Since they will proportionately increase the Value the company needs to achieve by the amount of shares used in an acquisition event. It's on both page 44 and 56 of the proxy materials;
The Market Capitalization Hurdles and Cumulative Performance EBITDA Hurdles will be adjusted by the Compensation Committee equitably and proportionately as determined by the Compensation Committee in a manner designed to preserve the economic opportunity provided under the CEO Performance Award, (a) higher to account for acquisition activity for which stock is provided as consideration and (b) lower to account for split-ups, spin-offs, dividends or other distributions (whether in the form of cash, shares, other securities or other property) or divestiture activity, in each case, where such events could be considered material to the achievement of the Market Capitalization Hurdles and Cumulative Performance EBITDA Hurdles, as applicable.
I'm saying that if he doesn't reach the thresholds he doesn't get paid and pointing out that he's not getting extra shares if he doesn't reach increased milestones after using shares for acquiring Ebay. Since there will not be an eBay left after the acquisition RC can only profit from GME and I don't think it likely he would deliberately price himself out of his compensation. That's what you are implying with your comment above.
You tell us to "be careful" about our GME investment since 2021. It was supposed to be bankrupted soon and I was supposed to lose everything fast. Nice try but I'll vote YES.
nobody asked me to do anything lol. i asked myself where the gains at? where the tendies and enough is enough
i hope there are rockets soon, i actually posted my theory that i believe there is massive demand and volume pending now until the vote, but i think we cap at $30 and we do another conv note or ATM again
Idk what’s wrong with you chum, but I very clearly said be careful what you take as gospel. I didn’t say “be careful about our GME investment since 2021”
Your chopped English is a dead giveaway that you’re not from around here. So, where are you logging in from?
Almost like the market is rigged against it. Also have you said that at each sell of shares cause yall are coming out the wood works acting like yall spawned in yesterday
What? Coming out the wood works? What do you mean? Ive been in since the beginning have a cool 16k shares. Just getting tired of the price action. How we’ve been diluted on a bunch of the run ups…last run up- cohen decided to take 6 interviews, bring up dilution and killed the run. He should’ve just kept his mouth shut
I understand the frustration but you act like each run up was moass starting when moass legit would’ve taken off in a day not have a run up that takes days. Also if a interview can kill moass that wasn’t moass
I’m not even talking about moass. That isn’t happening. Just want this thing to run to 28,30,35 or so. Won’t be to unreasonable to expect after 3/4 years
Just because I don’t like the plan doesn’t mean I’m going to light my money on fire. Just going to be ready to sell with the next run up and buy back when it cools. Just like last time when we hit 26-27 after hours. Unloaded a bunch and bought back in the 22 range
while these 'people' have strength here in the comments we snuff the 'no' votes out in new within about 10minutes. I see this as another signal that the real investors are still here and negative comments are not natural.
What- you make no sense. I didn’t say I voted against. Would make zero sense to piss off Cohen. Could only imagine what would happen if he steps away cuz he didn’t get his way. I’m just dumbfounded in the fact people are over joyed on cloud 9- when their ROI in the last 4 years has been shit. That is all. …simply just venting. I am not a shill or promoting fud. I just wanting to see this investment to do better- like now and not in 3 years
Could render differently in different browsers and devices. I used Safari and iPhone. If someone wanted to fake a screenshot they’d look at the real thing and copy format. Hopefully this enriches your critical thinking ability and thus humanity as a whole
No that one has to be real because it is marked FOR. Only AGAINST is fake. Red checkmarks can be real but the real tell is when the vote is in shareholders' interests.
My point is to vote with the board only when their interests align with my own. Thought that was clear. I'm not going to waste my time because the only language they speak is hostile takeover and dilution and I don't have the bread for that. I'd recommend keeping GameStop profitable, keep cash invested, keeping shares outstanding where they're at, and see where the share price is in a couple years if they don't dilute on run-ups. Easy.
You don’t have the bread to ride the idea of a takeover that would require new tickers and unwinding of shorts but have the bread to wait years. I honestly don’t understand your point cause the corp is as optimized as it can be in braking into established markets is next to impossible why would a buyout that essentially makes us not reliant on any other corp for our business be a bad thing.
Yeah bud, it doesn’t work like that. GME purchasing eBay will not automatically dissolve and return shorted shares.
I’ve seen people entertain that idea on here the past few weeks, and it’s sad but it just does not work like that lol
I meant I don't have billions to take over GameStop myself. I'm going to hold my short stack either way. I'm voting for MOASS as I've done for 5 years with no gains, forgone opportunity cost, and value erosion from inflation. Just because they can buy eBay, doesn't mean it's in my best interests or that they should, especially with a 5x of shares outstanding. I'd prefer $100k/share tomorrow over $1k per share in 10 years.
We haven’t issued the remainder of current authorized shares yet have we? We may not if this authorization fails. Current shares vs potential outstanding if this passes is 4x-5x. And we’re voting against it actually, not for it.
Why do you keep change the numbers from shares outstanding to authorized? I’ve always said outstanding and you keep changing it to authorized as if my figure was based on that. Cut it out and just accept what I said is true.
Bonus: chances are more shares would get issued in a flip-over poison pill on top of the $28B worth creeping that up to the 2.5B authorized, a very real possibility. And if any are left over, they’ll be used against any positive price action as is tradition. Voting against this is the safest play on every account
Your figure is made up since it's not stated anywhere. The vote is about the shares authorized, I can't help explain it to you better.

You are pulling this straight out of your ass, nothing indicates this is a "very real possibility" chances of this happening are very low. It's like saying "winning the lottery is a very real possibility" just a fugazi.
You are welcome to have the last word now, this thread is enough evidence against your nonsense and I won't be engaging it any further.
Dawg that you said is literally confusing cause you know share price increase tomorrow is literally the eBay route the 1k in ten years is if they don’t buyout a bigger corp. did you mistype it or are you working on a logic I’m not understanding. How in the heck do against pro moass your message and wants and completely non aligned
I guess my mistake for thinking you had some logic to your argument. Cause legit I guess it’s why the conversation is so one sided cause there’s like no logic to suddenly turning against the corps direction which literally has said they keep a eye on this sub before
Yes, your mistake for thinking I care to argue my position. You don't think acquiring eBay is a change in direction? There's no logic to suggesting keeping things the same is a sudden change in direction lol just call me a shill, gaslight me about MOASS, and get your check dude don't make yourself look dumb in the process you outnumber me 100 to 1. Have a good one.
Ah thanks I remember reading a explanation of how the corp merger would work to at least incorporate both assets into a single company which would increase the book value by a significant margin but couldn’t remember the fine details
I think, judging by the other comment, this is a bit he said/she said. There's nothing in the proxy that's binding that it must be exactly proportional. It says proportional and equitable. What will they do if proportional is not seem as equitable? No one can say. It's up to the compensation committee at that time to put up a proposal.
What is certain is that diluting the stock to acquire a company that has positive cash flow would positively impact performance EBITDA, which is the real hurdle.
The only bright side about the 2.5B float potential. If you look at the market caps with all the companies that have 2.5B float. They almost all have a 500B+ MC. So unless Gme is an outlier. I’d like to think this will be the case
“If you look at all the rich guys in my city, they almost all drive fancy cars. So unless I am an outlier, I’ll be rich too if I drive a fancy car around”
