Item 5.07. | Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders. |
At 11:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on May 19, 2022, Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (“Take-Two”) held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) to consider certain proposals related to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated January 9, 2022, among Take-Two, Zebra MS I, Inc. (“Merger Sub 1”), Zebra MS II, Inc. (“Merger Sub 2”), and Zynga Inc. (“Zynga”), as the same may be amended from time to time (the “Merger Agreement”).
As of the close of business on April 4, 2022, the record date for the Special Meeting, there were 115,457,154 shares of Take-Two common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) issued and outstanding, each of which was entitled to one vote for each proposal at the Special Meeting. At the Special Meeting, a total of 82,585,999 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 71.53% of the issued and outstanding shares entitled to vote, were present in person or by proxy, constituting a quorum to conduct business.
At the Special Meeting, the following proposals were considered:
1. | The proposal to approve the issuance of shares of Common Stock to stockholders of Zynga in connection with the combination contemplated by the Merger Agreement. |
This proposal is referred to as the “Take-Two share issuance proposal.”
2. | The proposal to approve the adoption of an amendment to Take-Two’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Take-Two capital stock from 205,000,000 to 305,000,000, of which 300,000,000 shares will be Common Stock and 5,000,000 shares will be preferred stock. |
This proposal is referred to as the “Take-Two charter amendment proposal.”
3. | The proposal to approve the adjournment of the Special Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to approve the Take-Two share issuance proposal and the Take-Two charter amendment proposal. |
This proposal is referred to as the “Take-Two adjournment proposal.”
Each of the three proposals was approved by the requisite vote of the Company’s stockholders. The final voting results for each proposal are described below. For more information on each of these proposals, see the definitive joint proxy statement filed by Take-Two and Zynga with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 7, 2022 (the “Joint Proxy Statement”).

Item 5.02 | Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers. |
As previously reported on Take-Two’s Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 17, 2022 (the “Prior Form 8-K”), subject to and upon the closing of the combination, Ellen Siminoff and William “Bing” Gordon, the two members of the Zynga board of directors who were selected by Zynga for appointment to the Take-Two Board pursuant to the Merger Agreement, will become members of the Take-Two Board of Directors. The disclosure set forth under Item 5.02 of the Prior Form 8-K is hereby incorporated herein by reference. Mr. Gordon will not qualify as an “independent” director under the applicable rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market because he is a party to a pre-existing consulting agreement with Zynga, the terms of which are described in Zynga’s Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on April 4, 2022 and incorporated by reference in the Joint Proxy Statement, which description is incorporated by reference herein.
