Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO) (the “Company”) announced today the consideration payable in connection with the previously announced cash tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) to purchase up to $650,000,000 (the “Tender Cap”) aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 3.300% Senior Notes due 2024 (the “Notes”), as described in the table below.

(1) Rounded to nearest hundredth of a percentage point.

The Tender Offer was made on the terms and conditions described in the Offer to Purchase, dated May 18, 2023 (as amended and as may be further amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Offer to Purchase”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Offer to Purchase.

The “Total Consideration” for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer was determined in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase by reference to the fixed spread over the yield to maturity of the Reference U.S. Treasury Security specified in the table above and in the Offer to Purchase at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, today, and includes an early tender premium of $50 per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes accepted for purchase.

Only holders of Notes who validly tendered and did not validly withdraw their Notes at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 1, 2023 (the “Early Tender Deadline”) are eligible to receive the Total Consideration for the Notes accepted for purchase. Holders of Notes will also receive accrued and unpaid interest on their Notes validly tendered and accepted for purchase from and including the most recent interest payment date for the Notes up to, but not including, the Early Settlement Date. Withdrawal rights for the Notes expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 1, 2023.

On June 5, 2023, the Company expects to pay for the Notes that were validly tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Deadline and that are accepted for purchase.

The purchase of all of the Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the Tender Offer would cause the Company to purchase Notes with an aggregate principal amount in excess of the Tender Cap. Accordingly, the Notes will be purchased on a pro rata basis up to the Tender Cap in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase by reference to the “Proration Factor” specified in the table above. Since the Tender Offer was fully subscribed as of the Early Tender Deadline, the Company will not accept for purchase any Notes validly tendered after the Early Tender Deadline.
