EX-99.(A)(5)(H) 2 dex99a5h.htm ELECTRONIC ARTS INC. E-MAIL RESPONSE TO INQUIRIES FROM THE PRESS Electronic Arts Inc. e-mail response to inquiries from the press

Exhibit (a)(5)(H)

Electronic Arts Inc. e-mail response to inquiries from the press regarding the response of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. to the tender offer set forth in Take-Two’s Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 filed with the SEC on March 26, 2008.

 

It is regrettable for stockholders that Take-Two’s Board of Directors has not accepted EA’s offer. EA believes that a combination of EA and Take-Two is in the best business interest of all parties.

EA’s offer price of $26.00 per share is full and fair, and reflects the value of Take-Two’s intellectual properties, talent, and operational progress. EA’s all-cash, tender offer commenced on March 13 is the most certain way to create stockholder value, and represents a 64% premium over Take-Two’s closing stock price on February 15, the last trading day before EA sent its revised proposal to Take-Two.

EA’s tender offer is a clear process for Take-Two stockholders to maximize the value of their investment. By advising its stockholders to reject the offer, Take-Two’s Board is exposing them to further delays which may reduce the value and the certainty of a potential transaction.

EA’s tender offer is currently scheduled to expire on April 11, 2008.
