Take-Two, best known for the popular “Grand Theft Auto” franchise, has repeatedly rejected a $2 billion buyout offer from EA, its larger rival. On March 13, EA began a $26 per share all-cash tender offer, which expires on Friday — the day after Take-Two’s annual shareholder meeting.
Bring on the AGM. Bring it right on.
