Take-Two's Vote Results Are Not Late. We Got the Date Wrong

Take-Two Interactive held its 2026 annual meeting of stockholders on Thursday 17 September. Four days later it has filed nothing with the Securities and Exchange Commission reporting how the votes went. That is not late. It is not even close to late. And the reason this desk knows that with any confidence is that we printed the wrong deadline ourselves and had to go and check. Have Take-Two's 2026 annual meeting vote results been filed? CONFIRMED, and fetched by this desk's editor personally. The submissions record for Take-Two at https://data.sec.gov/submissions/CIK0000946581.json answered HTTP 200 at 25,031 bytes at 2026-09-21T03:18:44Z. Entity: TAKE TWO INTERACTIVE SOFTWARE INC, CIK 0000946581, Nasdaq, SIC 7372. Print the failure first, because it is a real methodological limit for anyone repeating this check. The editor's first attempt at that same URL, at 2026-09-21T03:18:36Z, returned HTTP 403 at 4,817 bytes. The SEC blocks requests from undeclared user agents. If you go to data.sec.gov with a default client and get a 403, you have not discovered anything about Take-Two. You have discovered the SEC's access policy. From the successful pull: The most recent Take-Two filing of any form is a Form 4 filed 2026-09-16, accession 0000946581-26-000082. Nothing at all has been filed between 17 and 21 September. The most recent 8-K of any kind is accession 0001628280-26-054580, filed 2026-08-07, carrying items 2.02 and 9.01. There is no Item 5.07 8-K for the 17 September 2026 annual meeting. That independently reproduces what two researchers found separately, working from the same submissions feed and from the EDGAR company browse endpoint. When is the Item 5.07 8-K actually due? CONFIRMED, and the counting rule belongs to the SEC while the arithmetic belongs to this desk. The Division of Corporation Finance's own Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations for Exchange Act Form 8-K, Question 121A.01, reads verbatim: Pursuant to Instruction 1 to Item 5.07, the date on which the shareholder meeting ends is the triggering event for an Item 5.07 Form 8-K. Day one of the four-business day filing period is the day after the date on which the shareholder meeting ends. For example, if the meeting ends on Tuesday, day one would be Wednesday, and the four-business day filing period would end on Monday. Apply that to a meeting that ended on Thursday 17 September 2026. The following count is this desk's own arithmetic over weekdays, using the SEC's rule: Business dayDate Meeting endsThursday 17 September 2026 Day oneFriday 18 September 2026 Day twoMonday 21 September 2026 Day threeTuesday 22 September 2026 Day four, the deadlineWednesday 23 September 2026 Today is day two. Two business days remain. What did this desk get wrong? We told readers the results were due on 18 September. That piece carried the date in its own headline, and the date was wrong. Four business days from a Thursday meeting does not land on the Friday. It lands on the following Wednesday, because day one is the day after the meeting ends and because a weekend sits in the middle. Two researchers on this batch found the error independently of each other, working from different starting points, which is the only reason it is being corrected today rather than next week. Not filed is not late. Anyone who read our earlier date and concluded on Friday evening that Take-Two was sitting on something was reading our arithmetic, not the company's behaviour, and we are sorry for it. How fast has Take-Two filed this before? CONFIRMED, and this table is original to this desk. The editor computed the business day lag for the last twelve Item 5.07 filings, from 2015 to 2025, taking each filing's reportDate and filingDate straight from the EDGAR submissions record. The business day counts are this desk's own arithmetic over weekdays. They do not account for federal holidays, and none of the twelve spans contains one.

Take-Two has never once used the fourth day. The rule allows four. On twelve consecutive occasions the company has filed on day three or sooner, and on two of them it filed on the day of the meeting itself. So there are two readings available and both are defensible. This year sits at the slow end of the company's own record. And this year is comfortably inside the rule. Both of those are true, and nobody should be writing the second sentence without the first or the first without the second. Why has nothing appeared since Wednesday? Partly because almost nothing could. Friday 18 September was the only United States business day inside this reporting window. Saturday 19, Sunday 20 and Monday 21 September gave the SEC's filing systems no time at all. CONFIRMED, the one business day was empty. A researcher pulled the EDGAR daily form index for 18 September 2026, HTTP 200 at 744,263 bytes, at 02:59:20Z on 21 September. It contains zero occurrences of Take-Two and zero occurrences of 946581. The control is the important half: that same index contains 155 Form 8-K filings from other registrants, so the index is populated and the search works. A zero there is a real zero. CONFIRMED, no press release either. Take-Two's investor relations news index was read at 03:10:43Z on 21 September, HTTP 200 at 477,403 bytes. Its most recent item is dated 10 September 2026 and announces the webcast of the annual meeting. The company has issued nothing about the meeting outcome. A second researcher read the press release index separately at 03:13:42Z and found the same most recent item. What happens on Wednesday? If the 8-K lands by the close of Wednesday 23 September, Take-Two will have filed inside the rule for the thirteenth consecutive annual meeting and this story ends quietly. Readers who want the vote itself should look for four matters: the election of ten director nominees, the advisory vote on executive compensation, the certificate of amendment limiting officer liability, and the ratification of the audit firm for fiscal 2027. If nothing has appeared by Thursday, that would be new, because on the twelve occasion record above it has never happened. This desk will check and will say so either way. What could not be checked Print the 403: data.sec.gov returned HTTP 403 at 4,817 bytes to an undeclared user agent at 03:18:36Z before a compliant request succeeded eight seconds later. Anyone reproducing this check needs a declared agent. The meeting is not confirmed by filing. What this desk has is the proxy statement setting the date, the 10 September press release announcing the webcast and press accounts of the day. No filing yet confirms the meeting convened as scheduled. EDGAR can lag acceptance by minutes. A filing made in the minutes around any one check could in principle be missed, which is why the submissions record was pulled by two researchers and the editor at three separate times. The 2023 row may understate the lag. Its report date equals its filing date, which is how EDGAR records a same day filing, and this desk has not opened the document to check the cover page. Not claimed: any reason for the wait. There is no filing, no release and no analyst note this desk has seen that speaks to it, and a company inside its deadline owes nobody an explanation. Not claimed: any vote count on any 2026 proposal, because none has been filed. Not checked here: Take-Two's share price over the window. An attempt to reach a market data source returned HTTP 429 and no exchange of record was reached, so no price appears anywhere in this article. The proxy that set all of this up is covered at our DEF 14A piece, the four proposals and the officer exculpation vote at this piece, the pay ratio detail at this one, and the only Take-Two filing in the run up to the meeting at the 16 September Form 4. The wider filings beat is at our guide to reading EDGAR on this company. More on the news desk, background on the GTA 6 wiki, and the servers list and leaderboards are open.
