Major publisher and developer Take-Two (Grand Theft Auto series) has announced that it is considering a sale of the company, following a fierce shareholder battle which threatens to depose major executives and the board.

A group of prominent Take-Two investors owning 46% of the company's shares, including OppenheimerFunds, D.E. Shaw Valence Portfolios, S.A.C. Capital Management and Tudor Investment, are looking to remove current CEO Paul Eibeler and bring about changes within the company's board of directors.

Due to this, Take-Two has announced that it has postponed its annual meeting from March 23rd until March 29th "...to provide additional time to review the proposed actions of the shareholder group and also to evaluate alternative courses of actions that could potentially be presented to the shareholders."

The main example of an alternative course of action is "a possible sale of the Company", though the official notice also notes: "There is no assurance that any specific alternative proposal will be forthcoming."

Take-Two’s recently restated financial results for fiscal 2006 saw revenue fall and the company record a net loss of $184.9 million. In addition, Wedbush Morgan's Michael Pachter recently issued a statement to his firm's clients, calling Take Two's shares “overvalued” and the company's path ahead “troubling.”

Nonetheless, the announcement has sharply affected Take-Two's shares in pre-market trading, with the company's Nasdaq-traded shares up almost $1.50 to $22.26 thanks to news of the possible sale.

NEOGAF的业内消息：
Take-Two的管理层正在被排挤出去，但是他们不甘心，便拿出售公司作为威胁。实际上他们没有足够的支持来出售公司，Take-Two仍然掌握在投资集团手中，是否出售也是投资集团说的算。

CNN的报道:
http://money.cnn.com/2007/03/19/ ... tversion=2007031910

几段比较关键的：
"We could never launch an acquisition bid at a third party publisher," said Shane Kim, corporate vice president of Microsoft Game Studios.
微软说过不会收购第三方发行商

Take Two Interactive Software also postponed its shareholder meeting by six days, moving it to March 29. Twelve days ago, investors owning some 46 percent of the company's shares announced plans to stage a take over the board and oust current CEO Paul Eibeler. The move comes after years of scandals and allegations ranging from backdated options to overstated revenue to hidden sexual content in its most popular game: "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas."
股东会议延期6天到3月29日。12天前，拥有46%股份的投资者宣布了接管公司和驱逐CEO的计划。

Game industry insiders at the recent Game Developer Conference who are familiar with Take Two but asked not to be named because of ongoing relationships with the company, said they expect the shareholder action to be successful.
一些不愿意透漏姓名的业内人士表示，他们希望股东的计划获得成功。

While today's announcement makes the sale of the company a possibility, there's also a chance that the company (or a new board) might sell off underperforming units to concentrate on Take Two's core strengths.
也有只卖掉公司的一部分来保持核心竞争力的可能。

As for potential buyers, the list is long. Game publishers UbiSoft and Activision have reportedly explored a possible bid in the past. Elevation Partners, the venture capital group whose members include U2 front man Bono, is a possibility as well. And Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. has also been mentioned regularly as a possible suitor.
几个可能的收购者:UbiSoft , Activision, Elevation Partners,Rupert Murdoch's News Corp.

近年来多灾多难的Take-Two公司，在经历了去年的“热咖啡”事件、连续五个财政季度亏损以及游戏分级审查机构的穷追猛打之后，今年再次腹背受敌，闹出了股东联合罢免首席执行官的丑闻。为了应对一系列麻烦的出现，Take-Two公司决定推迟原定的年度财政报告会议，视情况甚至有可能变卖公司股份。

就在上周，Take-Two公司内持有46%原始股份的一个股东联合组织突然宣布，要求罢免现任首席执行官Paul Eibler，对公司董事会进行全面改组的同时，将原先的九名董事会成员缩减到六名。这一事件在业内一经公开立刻引起了轩然大波，如果股东联合组织的要求被予以通过，那么Take-Two内部可能将经历翻天覆地的大换血。

面对内外交困的危急状况，Take-Two公司于近日对外宣布，公司原定于3月23日召开的年度财政报告会议推迟到3月29日。据称，此举是为了“进一步对股东联合组织提出的要求进行研究和审核，同时商讨若干个可以提供给股东大会进行讨论和选择的解决方案，其中包括在必要情况下将公司股份进行变卖并重组。”

受此消息的影响，Take-Two公司在NASDAQ的股票开始出现大幅上涨，在今天结束的交易中以每股22.26美元的价格收盘，涨幅达到了6.8%。事实上，自从上周起股东联合组织提出一系列公司机构重组要求后，Take-Two公司的股票就已经开始出现回升了，到目前为止已经累计提高了近18个百分点。
