MGM终止与Barry Diller旗下People Inc.互购谈判：双方修订表决权协议，持股上限29.9%
内华达州克拉克县拉斯维加斯消息：MGM Resorts（美高梅度假村）10月28日表示，其与最大股东、Barry Diller旗下的People Inc.之间的收购谈判已经结束，双方修订了表决权协议，目前不考虑任何交易。
按修订协议，People、Diller及关联方在控制权变更交易中将按MGM董事会建议投票表决其全部股份，合计持股不得超过29.9%；MGM则同意在对方遵守协议期间，不采取针对People一方的防御措施。MGM董事会主席Paul Salem表示，该协议为股份回购以及在适当时进行控制权交易留出了路径。
背景方面，People曾于6月1日提出以每股48.30美元收购其尚未持有的MGM股份，并已于9月23日撤回该要约；其后曾传出MGM反向收购People的讨论。MGM首席执行官Bill Hornbuckle在三季度业绩电话会上表示，双方关于「你买我、我买你」的对话已经结束，这是双方共同的立场。

MGM Ends Merger Talks With Barry Diller's People Inc., Agrees Revised Voting Pact Capping Stake at 29.9%
LAS VEGAS, Clark County, Nevada — MGM Resorts said on October 28 that merger talks with its largest shareholder, Barry Diller's People Inc., are over after the two sides amended their voting agreement, and that no transaction is currently being considered.
Under the amended pact, People, Diller and related entities will vote all their MGM shares in line with the board's recommendation in connection with a change-of-control transaction, and the group's combined ownership is capped at 29.9%. MGM, in turn, agreed not to adopt defensive measures targeting People and its affiliates while they comply with the agreement. MGM Chairman Paul Salem said the agreement gives the company a clear path to share buybacks and, if applicable, a change-of-control transaction.
People had offered on June 1 to buy the MGM shares it did not already own at $48.30 per share and withdrew that proposal on September 23; reports later emerged that MGM might acquire People instead. MGM CEO Bill Hornbuckle told analysts on the third-quarter call that the back-and-forth dialogue over 'you buy us, we buy you' is done, and that this is both companies' position.
