The share offer is set to expire at midnight EST, on June 20.

If CBS obtains a majority of shares, remaining shareholders will receive the same $11.50 per share offer.

San Francisco-based CNET provides technology, food and entertainment information through its CNet.com Web site and other consumer information sites.

Shares of New York-based CBS remained unchanged at $22.70 in after-hours trading. Cnet shares gained 2 cents to $11.44, from their regular session close at $11.42.
