Summary · why it matters

GameStop shares climbed 4% to $18.52 after the company amended its convertible note exchange to fix the total share count and pay part of the consideration in cash, eliminating the dilution overhang. The revised terms give noteholders roughly 55.5 million shares, or 73% of the consideration, and about $358.4 million in cash, or 27%, with no additional shares issuable. The exchange covers approximately $1.4 billion aggregate principal of 0.00% convertible senior notes due 2030 and 2032, and after closing, about $2.8 billion of notes will remain outstanding. GameStop also released preliminary Q2 results showing net income between $290 million and $310 million, boosted by a roughly $238 million gain on its eBay stake, despite net sales falling 20% year over year to $780-$800 million. Meanwhile, Roblox slipped 1% to $38.12, and Take-Two Interactive edged up 0.1% to $235.63 ahead of the Grand Theft Auto VI launch.
