On the news front, media mogul Barry Diller's People Inc. (formerly IAC) formally submitted a cash acquisition offer to MGM Resorts at $48.30 per share for the approximately 73.9% of shares it does not already own. The total transaction value exceeds $18 billion including debt. People Inc. currently holds approximately 26.1% of MGM's equity, and upon completion, the deal would result in full ownership and privatization of the company.
