YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT

PLEASE VOTE YOUR PROXY TODAY

April 26, 2022

Dear Fellow Stockholders,

We recently sent you proxy materials in connection with the Special Meeting of Stockholders of Zynga Inc. (“Zynga”) to be held on May 19, 2022 at 8:00 a.m. Pacific Time. Your vote is extremely important, no matter how many shares of Zynga common stock you hold.

As you know, Zynga, Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (“Take-Two”) and certain wholly owned subsidiaries of Take-Two entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated January 9, 2022 (as it may be amended from time to time, the “merger agreement”), that provides for the combination of Take-Two and Zynga. Please refer to the joint proxy statement/prospectus dated April 7, 2022, which has been previously mailed to you, for details on the combination and the merger agreement.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement, at the effective time of the combination, each outstanding share of Class A common stock of Zynga (subject to certain exceptions set forth in the merger agreement) will be converted into the right to receive (i) a number of shares of common stock of Take-Two equal to the “exchange ratio” (as described in the joint proxy statement/prospectus) and (ii) $3.50 in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes. The exchange ratio is subject to a two-way collar mechanism as described in the joint proxy statement/prospectus.

Zynga and Take-Two will each hold a special meeting of their respective stockholders on May 19, 2022 to vote on the proposals necessary to complete the combination.

At the Zynga special meeting, Zynga stockholders will be asked to consider and vote on (i) a proposal to adopt the merger agreement (the “Zynga merger proposal”), (ii) a proposal to approve, on a non-binding advisory basis, the compensation that may be paid or become payable to Zynga named executive officers that is based on or otherwise relates to the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, and (iii) a proposal to approve the adjournment of the Zynga special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of the Zynga special meeting to approve the Zynga merger proposal. Zynga stockholders as of the close of business on April 4, 2022, the record date for the Zynga special meeting, are entitled to vote at the Zynga special meeting.

The Zynga board of directors unanimously recommends that Zynga stockholders vote “FOR” each of the proposals to be considered at the Zynga special meeting.

Approval of the Zynga merger proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Zynga common stock. If you fail to vote, fail to instruct your bank, broker or other nominee to vote with respect to the Zynga merger proposal or abstain from voting, it will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Zynga merger proposal. Accordingly, please vote today in advance of this important special meeting.


Your vote on these matters is very important, regardless of the number of shares you own. Whether or not you plan to virtually attend the special meeting, please vote by proxy over the internet or telephone using the instructions included on the accompanying proxy card, or promptly complete your proxy card and return it in the enclosed postage-paid envelope.

If you have questions or need assistance voting your shares, please contact D.F. King & Co., Inc., which is assisting Zynga, toll free at (800) 714-3310 or by email at ZNGA@dfking.com.    

On behalf of your Board of Directors, thank you for your cooperation and continued support.

 

  Sincerely,
 

/s/ Frank Gibeau
