MGM Resorts shares fell about 11% after Barry Diller's People Inc. withdrew its $48.30 per share proposal to take the casino operator private, roughly four months after the approach. People Inc. already holds roughly 26.1% of MGM. Diller blamed the mix of deal elements not coming together, and CNBC reported the pullback was tied in part to the debt the transaction would have created, though he left a future deal open.
