[GameStop Commits to Continuing eBay Acquisition Plan Despite Previous Rejection] According to Reuters, GameStop pledged last Friday to continue pursuing its approximately $56 billion cash-and-stock acquisition offer for eBay, despite the proposal being previously rejected by eBay's board of directors. GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen proposed the acquisition plan in May, stating that the merged company would be better positioned to challenge Amazon and expressing intentions to operate the new entity. Last Tuesday, GameStop announced it would release detailed strategic presentation materials and reiterated on Friday that 'more materials related to the proposed transaction will be disclosed soon.'
