The withdrawal removes the immediate takeover premium, but People's large stake and stated openness to a strategic transaction keep the door open for future M&A or board-level engagement. Monitor for any new proposal or changes in People's stance.

Executive Summary
People Incorporated (f/k/a IAC) filed Amendment No. 9 to its Schedule 13D, announcing it has withdrawn its non-binding proposal to acquire all outstanding MGM shares not already owned by People for $48.30 per share. People retains its 66,822,350-share stake (26.5% of shares outstanding) and states it remains open to a strategic transaction with MGM. This is a clear de-escalation from the June 2026 takeover bid, reducing near-term M&A pressure.
