Ryan Cohen, the billionaire CEO of GameStop, will not receive a potential performance award from ‌the videogame retailer and plans to unveil more details ‌about his bid to takeover eBay soon, the company said on Tuesday.

Payoneer has a market capitalization of about $2.26 billion, according to data compiled by LSEG.

GameStop ‌on ‌Tuesday reported a ​14% rise in quarterly ‌revenue ⁠and said its ⁠board has ​approved ​a ​new $2 billion ‌share repurchase program. Shares of the ‌company ​jumped ​9% ​in ‌extended trading.

Cohen went on to explain why he wants to own eBay, including big cost-cutting opportunities he says he is eyeing.
