The acquisition price was not disclosed, and eBay execs said it is not large enough to require disclosure in a SEC filing.
Does anyone know the minimum acquisition price that would require disclosure? Is it a fixed price, or does it vary by company?
- makeshifthoop 13y agoIt varies by the company. I did a little bit of research and found this quora article. http://www.quora.com/Mergers-and-Acquisitions-2/For-a-public-company-when-does-the-size-of-an-acquisition-have-to-be-disclosed-publicly http://www.quora.com/Mergers-and-Acquisitions-2/For-a-public...
- byoung2 13y agoThanks for the link! So there isn't a specific number, but it is "material" if the amount is enough that a reasonable person relying on a report would change his opinion based on the inclusion or omission of the disclosure. So a $70 billion company buying a $100 million startup is probably not going to change any opinions, but that same company buying a $12 billion company will.
