What analysts asked them
no calls heldGameStop has held no earnings call since its Q4 FY2022 results; the releases of Dec '24, Mar '25 and Mar '26 each say no conference call will be held, and none of the eight releases read announces one.
Who’s in charge, who’s selling
read from the filings · 20 Oct 2026Shareholder votes against the board and pay, plus which executives have been selling their own shares.
Tier 2 · worsening
Chairman, CEO, largest holder, and he directs the cash
An investment committee of Cohen and two independent directors put the cash into 43.4M eBay shares, 9.8% of eBay, worth about $4.9B on 1 Aug '26, after a $125-a-share offer eBay rejected in May '26.
Tier 2 · new
All of the CEO's common shares in a margin account
38.3M shares at Schwab as of 20 May '26; the policy allows loans up to 50% of value and asks for no top-up if the price falls. His later buying may be funded in part by margin loans.
Tier 2 · worsening
Authorised shares to 2.5B; the count up 12.5% in six months
About $1.4B of notes swapped for about 55.5M shares and $358.4M of cash on 3 Sep '26, terms changed mid-way, a non-cash charge to come. About 95.6M more shares sit behind the remaining notes.
Tier 3 · improving
171.5M performance options for the CEO, withdrawn at his request
Granted Jan '26, sized to give him 20% of value created at a $100B market value; withdrawn 23 Jun '26 before the vote. Say-on-pay drew 2.8% against.
Tier 3 · stable
A director's company sells to GameStop; a Delaware suit on the share vote
Nat Turner's PSA: about $58.1M in FY25, 1.6% of sales. A holder sued all five directors on 15 Jun '26 over the vote needed for the share increase.

Where shareholders voted no
At each annual meeting shareholders vote on who sits on the board, what the executives are paid and whether the company may create more shares. These are the votes that drew the most "no"s at the last two meetings: the shares voted against (or withheld) each year, then what share of all votes cast that was. Under each one, what the vote was about and what a no means.
| 2025 | 2026 | Share 2026 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cohen (chair, CEO)A board seat. Shareholders vote to keep this person on the board, the group that hires, pays and can fire the CEO. A no, or a withheld vote, says they want this director out, often because of the committee they sit on or a decision they signed off. | 4.0M | 5.0M | 2.0% |
| Attal (lead independent)A board seat. | 25.4M | 30.7M | 12.3% |
| Turner (not independent)A board seat. | 11.2M | 12.9M | 5.2% |
| Say-on-payExecutive pay. Shareholders say whether they accept what the top executives were paid. The vote is advisory: the board can ignore it, but a large no is a public rebuke and boards usually change the pay plan after one. | 6.0M | 6.9M | 2.8% |
| Authorised shares to 2.5BPermission to create more shares. The company may then sell new shares later, for deals or to raise cash. New shares dilute the existing ones, so each shareholder owns a smaller share of the company. A no says shareholders want that door kept narrower. | — | 104.6M | 31.1% |
