Summary
Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. filed an 8-K report on September 1, 2009, to announce two significant developments. The first pertains to the company's financial results for its third fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2009. While specific figures are not detailed in the 8-K itself, it references a press release (Exhibit 99.1) containing these results, which investors should consult for a comprehensive understanding of the company's performance. The second, and arguably more impactful, announcement details an agreement in principle to settle a consolidated securities class action lawsuit (Exhibit 99.2).
