Frequently Asked Questions

This 8-K filing announces an amendment to the Management Agreement between Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. and ZelnickMedia Corporation. The amendment primarily adjusts the timing and calculation methods for granting stock options and restricted stock to ZelnickMedia as part of their compensation.

The stock options are now scheduled to be granted on August 27, 2007, which is the 150th day following the original agreement date of March 30, 2007.

For the stock options, the number of shares will be calculated based on 2.5% of Take-Two's outstanding common stock on a fully diluted basis as of the close of business on the date of the amendment (July 26, 2007). The number of restricted shares to be granted is also to be calculated on the grant date but is contingent upon approval by Take-Two's stockholders.

Stockholder approval is required for the issuance of restricted common stock to ZelnickMedia. Take-Two is committed to seeking this approval, either through an amendment to its Incentive Stock Plan or specific approval for the share issuance, by October 31, 2007. Failure to obtain this approval would prevent the issuance of the restricted stock.
