[QUOTE="The Feedster, post: 534849, member: 259515"] [IMG]http://mos.techradar.com//classifications/home-entertainment/gaming/games/images/gta_iv_screenshot-200-200.jpg[/IMG] Following a successful E3, Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. has (yet again) responded bullishly to Electronic Arts' offer to extend the deadline of its unsolicited conditional tender offer to buy up the Grand Theft Auto publisher. As reported by EA, around 15% of Take-Two's outstanding shares tendered into EA's offer as of 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on Friday July 18, 2008. Strauss Zelnick, Chairman of Take-Two, remains bullish, telling shareholders that: "Take-Two's Board continues to be 100% committed to maximizing stockholder value and remains unanimous in continuing to recommend that our stockholders not tender their shares to EA. We are fully engaged in a formal process to evaluate strategic alternatives that have the potential to deliver greater value than EA's inadequate offer. "As part of this process, we continue to engage in meaningful discussions with multiple parties, a number of whom have been conducting due diligence. We also remain absolutely focused on executing on our strategic and business objectives." [B]GTA IV, BioShock movie, GTA DS[/B] Ben Feder, Chief Executive Officer, adds "In February, Take-Two's board rejected EA's offer as inadequate. Since then, the record-shattering release of Grand Theft Auto IV, the exciting announcement of a BioShock movie, and our ability to deliver financial results exceeding expectations have further demonstrated that our value-creation potential is greater than EA's offer. "Take-Two is also continuing to create significant value through the development of world-class entertainment products, as well as improved operational and financial performance. Our stockholders will be the beneficiaries of these achievements, and it is management's mission to deliver the greatest value possible for them." Take-Two has set up its own website to put forward its own position to shareholders at taketwovalue.com The company also recently announced the forthcoming launch of a new Grand Theft Auto title for Nitnendo DS.
