BFA Law Scrutinizes Barry Diller’s $48.30 Bid for MGM Resorts

Conflict of interest concerns have prompted securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP to investigate Barry Diller’s unsolicited $48.30-per-share offer for MGM Resorts International. Diller, a member of the MGM board and founder of the company making the bid, currently stands on both sides of the proposed transaction.

The investigation centers on whether the acquisition bid, initiated on June 1, 2026, by People, Inc.—formerly known as IAC, Inc.—breaches fiduciary duties under Delaware law. Because Diller exerts significant control over both the bidding entity and the target, legal analysts are questioning the fairness of the offer. The firm is examining whether the deal structure provides preferential benefits to specific fiduciaries at the expense of minority shareholders.

MGM’s board of directors previously confirmed it would evaluate the proposal to ensure it aligns with the interests of all shareholders. BFA Law is currently inviting current stockholders to participate in the review process to determine if the potential agreement meets the stringent legal requirements for fairness and transparency required in such high-stakes corporate transitions.
