Decide.com Acquired by eBay
allthingsd.comThe 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?
It 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...
Thanks 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.
