wohoo | February 24, 2008 | News | Company 
Electronic Arts is going after Take-Two! They've offered a $2 billion acquisition but Take-Two has declined, resulting in EA making the offer public knowledge.
Electronic Arts announced today that they’ve made an offer to acquire Take-Two Interactive for about $2 billion.

EA wanted private negotiations to take place but since Take-Two didn’t accept their offer (which values their stock at $25 per share) by the given deadline, February 22, EA made good on their little threat and went public with the offer.

    Take 2 board of directors already shot it down noting it wasn't in the best interest of the shareholders.

    In a later interview it is noted that if things dont entirely take off though that it could happen at some later point.
