The plan is designed to provide a compensation deferral opportunity for certain key employees and directors, allowing them to defer a portion of their base salary, bonuses, or director fees for future payment, intended as a retention and incentive tool.

Who is eligible to participate in the plan?

Eligibility is limited to a select group of U.S.-based employees and directors of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. This group typically includes management and highly compensated individuals.

The plan is designed to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.
