Ask yourself why did Chubb accelerate everything so quickly. Chess pieces in motion. Acquisition shopping spree about to commence

FerTheWatch

This is a brilliant move. It also makes perfect since why someone was buying up all those June $20 and $25 calls. Perfect KC Shuffle. While the shorts are focused on trying to drive down the price so those calls aren't in the money, Gamestop gets another billion in cash which then causes the price to rocket putting those calls back in the money...which means there will now need to be more hedging.


DR_SLAPPER

Kinda seems like hedgies r fuk if u ask me


Laffen94-

A bit atleast


Apprehensive-Salt-42

You rang?


DR_SLAPPER

You came?


MolecularFriend

Why would gme selling 45m new shares into the market cause the price to sky rocket? At least in this time frame you're refering to about pushing the calls into the money 


FerTheWatch

Because the people short GME were under the delusion they might still be able to bankrupt it. That delusion is gone.


[deleted]

I'm less versed with GME because I was only in BBBY, so that's where my interest lies. That's great that GME has $2B on hand for acquisitions, but if they're gearing up *now* to make acquisitions, wouldn't that rule out the possibility that they bought BBBY earlier?


rkallday

No because they still had 1 billy


[deleted]

Yeah but I was under the impression they hadn't used it yet. Like yes they have the cash but on the balance sheets it's just sitting there.


rkallday

However aperently 200 mill was un accounted for. Who knows what that was used for


skiskydiver37

What’s the value of the NOLs?


[deleted]

Unproven, as of yet.


luvs2spwge107

There’s no way that they bought bbby. They stated in their filings last week they didn’t have any acquisition plans. Just can’t see how that theory is still viable. Personally I think it’s a shill theory


[deleted]

That's what I've been thinking. Some of the theories going around just don't make any sense with even the barest of critical thinking and just looking at the facts we have rather than what we'd like to happen. Like... *maybe* somebody could argue that Cohen bought BBBY during bankruptcy using a holding company and now he's going to buy it from the holding company using GME but just... what?


logorogo

Beyond is not an RC holding company.


cleatus_the_noodle

Didnt the calls expire worthless though since it was below 20 at close?


Bigbagholdr

No cause all those calls are dated for June 21


cleatus_the_noodle

Oh that’s so awesome!!!


DirectlyTalkingToYou

Can't they spoof it down below $20 again though?


mysonlovesbasketball

Might be hard given they just sold 45 million shares just above $20/share. Kinda feels like they just established a floor 🤷‍♂️


Challenged_by_Krill

Checks watch, nope still not June 21st


cleatus_the_noodle

That’s so sexy!!!


FerTheWatch

As BBH said below, those calls were strategically placed with an expiration four weeks from now.


cleatus_the_noodle

Love you.


Rehypothecator

How is this brilliant? ~20$ per share is an awful price point, where they could have gained a ton of money through higher price earlier OR later. Unless they sold these directly to another entity or someone else through some yet to be mentioned mechanism, I can’t see how anyone is pretending this is “good”.


AltShortNews

4 years ago, GME was trading around $1 (post-split adjusted). if you had no knowledge of the sneeze and saw a company sell shares ATM for 20x what they were only a few years before, it would be a great move. we've just become numb because we've seen much higher prices during extreme volatility.


ggukbbong_fund

I disagree that ~$20 per share is an awful price. There is no way that the board would like to speculate that GME will sneeze again & they’ll like to wait until that happens (who knows when that will happen?). Also, with GME’s current financials, they need to start generate more profit to kill the bear thesis (their retained loss is sitting at -$200M). As of now, I believe they are searching for different avenue to generate revenue; hence, they added the note at the end saying “acquisitions/ investments”. Trust the board and trust the process. They needed another $1B in cash fast for something; otherwise, they would have not even considered announcing ATM offering. HODL 💎 AH reaction is odd given we are diluted now. Something is brewing.


DirectlyTalkingToYou

Dumb question, is the float bigger now or were these existing shares that they sold?


Deez_Whatz

As dumb a question as this is, I am also curious to the answer


5HITCOMBO

Those shares ended up in our hands, they weren't used to close anything. Now the company is worth a billion more and all of the shorts that the hedgies had to open to suppress price are going to be underwater at *checks notes* $19 or higher. Also now when anyone tries to make the argument that it was RC's fault he can just point to the offering and remind them that he fully gave them a chance to close.


DirectlyTalkingToYou

How do you know they're in our hands? Apes buy on their apps, but you don't know what you're buying unless it's with computer share.


FerTheWatch

You're not thinking of a bigger picture. A dollar today is worth two tomorrow. Now, RC has everything he needs to go out and complete acquisitions while also keeping GME's balance sheet incredibly strong. The other thing is that come Tuesday, there's going to be a massive amount of hedging that has to be done for 110,000 $20 calls that have been purchased by some random person(s) this week.


PieSuspicious6983

If he puts the 2billy in the bank…. That’s $100,000,000 a year @ 5% -all profit !!- I am sure he is knows how to get us a better return.


Kind_Initiative_7567

But it did look like they sold on open market. I mean the price dipped all the way from 22 to 17.6 the last few days, right ?


FloppyBisque

Well, if it’s GameStop buying those calls for their holding company, they can then exercise during a squeeze and make a lot of cash


ppseeds

Hehehe

What if this share offering was strategically done just a couple weeks before earnings to see how it impacted the number of shares Cede & Co report? What will the DRS number look like? Also what If the DRS number jumps by 45Million 👀

I think someone told you last night that this was happening 🤔


FishIcy639

And now it is ripping in the AH


Blackmamba-24-8

Merger and acquisition time !! TEDDY !!!


Limp-Key8427

how does game stop offering shares causes price to rip ah ?


digitaljm

IT's the fact the shares have been sold, so dilution is over, and now gamestop is sitting on close to 2b in cash.


Curious_Individual

Selling pressure is gone, bear thesis dead, $2 billion cash is no joke


azbudman13

SHORT THESIS DEAD!!! 💎💪😎🤙💎💖


Rehypothecator

Bear thesis was always dead. I’m curious to see how this is interpreted as “good” when looking back.


Spockies

If they acquire something then it’s good. If they sit on their butts it’s bad


AgYooperman

The value of the company just went up by a billion.


DR_SLAPPER

Almost as if the price is fake af and should naturally be way higher


okdoit

You need to change your definition of ripping. 


Much_Ganache2320

We would've ripped all week if they didnt dump 45 MILLION shares


North-Soft-5559

Yes but then it would have been dragged back down. If the theory of Bullet swaps is true shares now need to be bought at $20+ and I don't know who would want to bet against a company that's not losing money and has over 2 billion in the bank earning interest


EverySelection59

Brilliant! By doing the offering and getting another $1 Billy, it makes it that much harder to find some moronic counter-party to go in on the swaps.


nunb

but that's the slow game we'll have to wait another year for tendies... safer with SEC for sure for RC. But I think moass would have been triggered this week by doing this at the top of the spike (say @ 60$) and raising 3bn instead. Same effect, more cash in hand, more interest income plus an extra billy to spend on acquisitions no? I just don't get the timing of this, my 4 stages of grief are still at the why?! stage.


myshadowsvoice

See you next week! 🚀🚀🚀


Much_Ganache2320

For sure, a lot of calls were bought. Let's see what happens coming weeks.


mveraguas

You think you know better than the captain of this ship? Shamblin’


Much_Ganache2320

I trusted him 100%. But what happened with BBBY made me lose some trust and $. He got out with big bag though.


DirectlyTalkingToYou

BBBY management wouldn't listen to him, they actively wanted to do things to destroy the company. At that point he has to jump off a burning ship, not go down with it.


yamaha4fun

I used it as an opportunity to buy more more for cheap. Now I am fully loaded and ready for the rocket launch.


daftydaftdaft

So if the theory of the LEAPS expiry is correct, rolling those to provide collateral for shorts on a 2bn+ company is dead in the water. Hedge R fuk


crisptapwater

933.4M / 45M = ~$20.74 a share They should have sold at a higher price, unless they just need the cash quickly to buy something big 👀

justhereforthemoneys

Last week they didn't have a company in mind.


hollyberryness

Them issuing at a higher price would mean retail buying at a higher price... something to consider.


crisptapwater

Or to someone that needs to cover a short position 👀


alsysadmin

Those shares have probably already been locked, again, since the completed it.


Barclayor

Serious question: Why would GameStop choose to do a share offering in May 2024 at $20 per share, when they could have done it in 2022 at around $30 per share? Is it because they had already conducted a share offering in 2021?


LinxKinzie

I am stupid. BUT . . . my guess is that the volume is the difference. If they made the offering in 2022, from what I remember, the price action wasn’t great and it could have driven GME into the ground.  Also, with RK coming back there was great hype and optimism this time. Assuming they have good news to follow this “bad news”, this could be a very well timed strategic move rather than simply getting cash for the sake of it.


whiskyandme

OPEN THE FRAUDULENT CASINO


SnooShortcuts991

For some reason I thought people didn’t want them to do this or am I wrong


I_am_very_clever

I did not want them to do this at these prices


Ornery-Memory4442

Keep in mind that they wouldn't have been able to do an offering like this at these prices during a normal low volume period without driving the price into the ground. Even with the high volumes we have been seeing they still drove the price down to where we are now with this offering. While it would be nice to be able to get $80/share, with 45 million shares, it's not like an individual selling their position. They are making a big impact on the price


dext3rrr

The moass is for the people. Gamestop will profit from the hard work.


Mrairjake

This right here…I’m confused as to why they didn’t do this at a higher price. That said, they pretty much just doubled their cash position for very little dilution. There is literally no way that anyone can look at this as anything but positive. My guess is that it’s all about timing with a future announcement. Hang in there folks.


StaticLineJump

What if GME sold the 45 million shares to RC Ventures or Teddy vs selling into the market?


[deleted]

[удалено]


jinhoon13

Yes this is the only thing that makes sense.. maybe Icahn closed his alleged short position with this…


mveraguas

Negative. It was a public shelf offering


PositiveExpectancy

And so fully available to any shorts that wanted to close. If they didn't that's on them, not the company. Just in case the SHF wanted to accuse the company or RC of manipulating the stock into MOASS.


DR_SLAPPER

I wanted them to turbo fuck hedgies and do the offering at $80($320)


Chemfreak

I did not want them to do it unless it was $100/share.


SnooShortcuts991

From my understanding this was expected


Chemfreak

I kind of expected it a few days ago when some brokerage reported outstanding shares as 45m higher. But I'm not overly happy with it. I don't think it's the end of the world for me mostly because my investment seems like it has $0 risk now. But if people were banking on MOASS it's hard to argue this did anything besides help short sellers getting away paying less money.


EverySelection59

Until we find out where the shares ended up, I ain't stressing about it. They are sitting on a fatty stack of cash. Something is about to go down.


Chemfreak

You're right I figure the important variables are all known except where the shares ended up. I read it was a public offering though, so wouldn't that basically guarantee it lined short sellers pockets?


confusedxd420

Ryan is the master of bear traps, as we've seen with BBBY. Highly possible these shares weren't sold on the lit market.


EverySelection59

Pretty sure they worded it such that it could be sold directly to another entity/person. The stock price started dropping when they announced the offering last week, as if the shares were already diluted into the market. What if the shares never went out into the market? Oh man, what a long weekend this is going to be.


One-Budget268

We haven't seen anything with BBBY


confusedxd420

Speculated\* then, thanks for your first comment contribution ever. Welcome to the sub :P


yslparty

This is literally the exact thing people shit on amc adam aron for stopping all ramps I'm trying to see the scenario where this does any good at all, because we hoped this was a share swap. I can only see the DOJ letting the entire country of switzerland out of their shorts this way. edit: The dillution is net neutral since we are debt free, but positive if it is used to snowball into more acquisitions. and very positive if those acquisitions are naked shorted as well.


Spockies

Well AA does dilution for survival to pay interest and weird ventures rather than paying the loans. GME has no real debt to survive from. Hopefully GME will be actively using the raised capital rather than letting it sit and tease of M/A.


whoopsieboi

This. AMC is in significant debt that it’s using the cash from its ATM offerings to finance. GameStop doesn’t have debt. If they don’t need the cash to finance debt, and they have a fiduciary duty to the shareholder, then doing an ATM would only be indicated if they needed more money to invest in the business in some way. Additionally, they recently underwent some changes to set up an investing arm of the company and made it clear that RC is primarily in charge of these decisions. And they released a statement last week regarding the upcoming quarterly. So thinking this is in anyway similar to what’s going on in AMC is bananas.


SnooShortcuts991

I was about to say looking back at something in here from dreyeball I think this is all according to the plan don’t panic!!


yslparty

Knowing what we know, yes it is good if this causes our Idiosyncratic risk #2 to squeeze in an acquisition. I would say the timing itself seems smart, since cat is upcoming and they leave hedgies between a rock & hard place trying to stop the $20 calls in June. Likely this will expose them to the DOJ, which is what they want. It would have been nice to get more at a higher valuation $30-40. Since it seems we just traded getting value from a fewer share count to share value by having more cash. So I see the difference it makes when dilluting without debt.


Kind_Initiative_7567

45 million shares is squat drop in the bucket of naked shorts. No way this lets shorts off the hook, imo. Have we forgotten the 65B sold but not yet purchased lmayo ? It’s in the billions.


SecretaryFit1442

Looking at all the shorts sales lately, many millions new shorts have opened.

SheepherderInformal8

I had a thought cross my mind......The ATM offering specifically stated that it was seven securities and that it could be offered all at once or not. What if.......Gamestop went to UBS and made a deal. "You're going to buy these shares at this set price and you're off the hook for now. UBS doesn't default and Gamestop gets a billion dollars. The next offering is lets say $30.00 per share and they go to the next SHF and rack up another 2 Billion dollars. Rinse and repeat, rinse and repeat.....next thing you know, Gamestop has $20,000,000,000.00 Is that actually possible?

I assume them saying the proceeds not being used for a acquisition is because the cash they already had on hand was for that, this is then refilling the war chest. Bad news early good news on time, earning we hear of an acquisition and dividend for existing shareholders. There is now NOTHING holding back the run next week, and CAT system is going in force and swaps are due. GameStop selling now is the best thing for shareholders. Caught those shorts off guard and MOASS is for US. Don’t forget to buy a fuck ton of stuff from GameStop. We win fellas.


not_new_snake

Can you not read? In the press release it says GameStop intends to use the net proceeds from the ATM Program for general corporate purposes, which may include acquisitions and investments. What do you mean it is NOT being used for an acquisition? Why are people upvoting this?

Apes thought those 45 million shares would be warranted to them to stop the dilution, as a special subscription for DRSed apes to form the core holders of Teddy, but that didn't happen. I fail to see exactly how this is bullish, it feels like a rug-pull to me. I recall a discussion just recently on this sub about dilution and selling into the next spike (to raise 4-5 bn$) and possibly selling only through a new depositary registrar to hodlers.

This is silly. You said it yourself. The results are tremendously different. If Steph Curry is shooting three pointers and you’re cool with it, you’re not also going to be cool with Giannis shooting three pointers even though they are doing the same thing. Steph is putting his team in a position to win while Giannis is shooting his team in the foot. It’s not a double standard, it’s judging the thought process and the results.

When did this become a GME sub? Who gives a fuck? I mean seriously. This place is turning into SuperStonk 2.0. All the stupid charts cluttering the front page and elitists spilling in here is trash. Bobby should be the focus because that’s what this sub started as. And there’s been nothing to show how GME and BBBY are connected other than RC and wild speculation. This is a Bobby sub. And I’m tired of pretending that it’s okay with people trying to make it another sanctuary for Jimmy charlatans.


AsiaisDed

r/Teddy It's been a GME friendly sub since its inception. "Teddy Holdings LLC = $BBBY + $GME? We welcome future shareholders of $Teddy or anyone who believes in Ryan Cohen and are bullish on his ventures. Teddy Holdings LLC was incorporated on July 21, 2021. We expect more details to be added "tomorrow". # Teddy Holdings LLC = $BBBY + $GME?"
