Electronic Arts şi-a prelungit oferta de achiziţie a Take Two până pe 16 mai şi, partea cea mai amuzantă, a scăzut oferta per acţiune de la 26 dolari la 25.74 dolari. Scăderea preţului a fost făcută în urma luării în colimator a unui număr de acâiuni care au fost emise printr-o serie de decizii financiare. Preţul total estimat rămâne undeva la cca. 2 miliarde dolari. EA crede că oferta sa este adecvată şi că această tranzacţie rămâne avantajoasă pentru ambele societăţi.

"The minuscule number of shares tendered, as well as the strong vote in favour of the proposals presented at our annual meeting, offer indisputable evidence that our stockholders regard our efforts to enhance Take-Two's stockholder value as superior to the EA offer," said the Take-Two chairman in a statement.  

"This is the same highly conditional proposal that EA offered Take-Two stockholders on March 13, 2008, which our Board of Directors thoroughly reviewed and unanimously determined to be inadequate and contrary to the best interests of Take-Two's stockholders.

"Take-Two's Board of Directors has maintained from the beginning, and continues to believe, that EA's proposal undervalues our Company. It undervalued the company at USD 26 per share, and it certainly undervalues Take-Two at USD 25.74."  

Comunicatul de presă
SAN FRANCISCO, April 18 (Reuters) - Electronic Arts Inc (ERTS.O: Quote, Profile, Research) on Friday said it extended its tender offer for Take-Two Interactive Software Inc (TTWO.O: Quote, Profile, Research) by nearly one month at a lower price of $25.74 per share, drawing out a standoff between the two video game publishers. 

The new price, which still values Take-Two at $2 billion, takes into account additional shares to be issued following stockholder approval of an incentive stock plan at its annual meeting on Thursday.

The lower price makes good on Electronic Arts’ warning that its per-share bid would fall by 26 cents if the incentive plan was passed.
