Take-Two Meets Shareholders Today. Four Proposals, No Results Yet

This article was written before Take-Two's annual meeting opened, and it reports no result from it. The meeting is called for 09:00 Eastern on Thursday 17 September, which is 13:00 UTC. This desk's last check of the company's filing docket was at 03:19:11Z, over nine hours earlier. Nobody here has heard a word of it, and on last year's precedent the vote numbers are not due today anyway. What follows is what is on the ballot, what the company has already put in writing about Grand Theft Auto VI, and when the results should land. When and where the meeting is CONFIRMED, from Take-Two's own release of 10 September, fetched at 2026-09-17T03:12:29Z, HTTP 200, 347,124 bytes, carrying a NEW YORK --(BUSINESS WIRE)-- dateline. Verbatim: the Company will host a webcast of its 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders which is being held as a virtual, audio-only meeting hosted online at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/TTWO2026 on Thursday, September 17, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time And on eligibility, verbatim: Stockholders at the close of business on the record date, July 23, 2026, are entitled to attend and vote at the meeting. The same page urges stockholders "to vote and submit their proxies prior to September 17, 2026". The DEF 14A confirms the same three facts independently: 17 September 2026 at 9:00 a.m., virtual and audio-only, record date 23 July 2026. What is on the ballot, and what is not CONFIRMED, from the proxy statement. The DEF 14A, accession 0001628280-26-049813, filed 27 July 2026, was read in full at 3,583,206 bytes at 2026-09-17T03:08:12Z, HTTP 200. The items of business, verbatim: 1. Election of 10 directors; 2. Approval, on a non-binding advisory basis, of the compensation of the Company's 'named executive officers' as disclosed in the attached Proxy Statement; 3. Approval of a certificate of amendment to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. to limit the liability of certain officers as permitted by Delaware law; 4. Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm The board recommends a vote FOR on all four. Also verbatim from the same document: "Our 10 nominees include nine independent, outside directors". There are four proposals and all four are the company's own. No shareholder proposal exists on the 2026 card. Anyone asking what happened to the shareholder proposals is asking about something that is not there. When are the Take-Two annual meeting vote results due? CONFIRMED as a precedent, and labelled as a precedent rather than a prediction. Last year the company filed its vote results the day after the meeting, not on the day. The 2025 vote-results filing is accession 0001628280-25-042186, read from its EDGAR index page at 2026-09-17T03:06:26Z, HTTP 200, 9,788 bytes, 12 documents. Period of report 2025-09-18. Filing date 2025-09-19. Accepted 2025-09-19 16:30:18. Items 5.02 (Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors), 5.07 (Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders) and 9.01. The 2025 meeting was held on 18 September and the Item 5.07 results reached EDGAR on 19 September. On that precedent, the 2026 numbers land on or about 18 September. A company can file the same day, and proxy solicitors sometimes circulate preliminary tallies first, so this is a precedent and not a guarantee. If anyone publishes vote percentages today, the right question is which document they read. The docket as of nine hours before the meeting CONFIRMED absence, with a hard qualifier attached. Take-Two's EDGAR submissions index, CIK 0000946581, was fetched three times by two researchers and once more by the editor, returning 158,129 bytes identically every time. At the editor's re-check of 2026-09-17T03:19:11Z: Filings dated 2026-09-17: 0 8-K filings anywhere in September 2026: 0 Most recent 8-K of any kind: accession 0001628280-26-054580, filed 7 August 2026, items 2.02 and 9.01, which is the first quarter FY2027 results release Total filings since 1 September 2026: 6, being three Form 4 and three Form 144 The qualifier is the whole point. An 8-K carrying Item 5.07 vote results could not exist at 03:19Z, because the meeting had not opened. This absence is a description of the docket before the event, and it is not a story about Take-Two failing to file anything. What Take-Two has already told shareholders about GTA 6, in writing, in July CONFIRMED as text, and dated carefully. The shareholder letter bound into the same proxy already says GTA 6 things, and the hedge word is worth watching. Verbatim: Fiscal year 2027 has the potential to be a major inflection point for our Company, defined by groundbreaking entertainment experiences, led by the planned November 19th release of Grand Theft Auto VI, creative and operational excellence, and record Net Bookings. And verbatim, separately: The Grand Theft Auto series continued to outpace expectations significantly and demonstrated strong momentum leading up to the planned launch of Grand Theft Auto VI on November 19th followed in the same passage by: Sales of Grand Theft Auto V advanced further, with nearly 230 million units sold-in to-date. The word "planned" attaches to 19 November in both passages. Also in the proxy summary: a net revenue split of $5.20 billion, 78.1 per cent of net revenue, mobile at $3.33 billion, 50.1 per cent, and expected operating cash flow of "more than $1 billion this fiscal year". THE WARNING THAT HAS TO TRAVEL WITH THOSE QUOTES. This is a document filed on 27 July 2026. It is not a remark made at the meeting. Nobody has told shareholders anything today, and no executive has said anything today. If you see those sentences written up as something Strauss Zelnick said at the meeting, that is wrong by construction. The only Take-Two filing in the whole window, and it means nothing CONFIRMED by two researchers independently, from the primary document. Accession 0000946581-26-000082, a Form 4, accepted 2026-09-16T16:13:21Z, primary document form4.xml at 6,080 bytes, read at 03:00:17Z and 03:01:04Z. Reporting owner: Ellen F. Siminoff, CIK 0001386430, director only, not an officer Period of report 2026-09-15, signature dated 2026-09-16, signed by an attorney-in-fact Two transactions, both code S for sale, both dated 15 September, both 167 shares at $219.53 One leg held "By the D&E Living Trust", the other "By the EFS 2020 Irrevocable Trust". Each leg leaves 1,499 shares held. Those two figures are two separate trusts and must not be added together or treated as one holding. A separate direct holding of 8,571 shares The aff10b5One flag is set Footnote F1, verbatim: Sale of shares pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted by the D&E Living Trust and the EFS 2020 Irrevocable Trust on February 19, 2026. This is scheduled selling under a plan adopted seven months before the trade. It says nothing about the annual meeting and nothing about the game. Total disposed: 334 shares for $73,323.02, which is this desk's own arithmetic from the two line items. It also checks out against the tape. $219.53 sits inside the 15 September trading range, which ran from a low of 211.54 to a high of 220.45. This desk has published Form 4 stories about other Take-Two insiders; Emerson and Goldstein are in the archive. Siminoff is a new name on this beat. The share price, and there is no 17 September figure CONFIRMED, from the Yahoo Finance chart API, HTTP 200, 2,332 bytes, fetched 2026-09-17T03:02:43Z. The response meta carries a regular market time of 1789588800, which is the 16 September close.

The move that matters happened the day before the window opened, on 15 September, and over 14 to 16 September the stock is down $11.10, or 4.98 per cent. There is no 17 September price, because the session had not opened when we looked. The SEC search result that looks like a GTA story and is not DEBUNKED. EDGAR full-text search for "Take-Two" over 16 to 17 September returns six documents. One is the genuine Form 4 above. Three are fund holdings reports, one is a MetLife filing, and one is a Bank of Montreal free writing prospectus, accession 0001839882-26-045684. That last one is the trap, because a structured-note prospectus filed the day before the annual meeting looks like it ought to be about something. A researcher opened it: HTTP 200, 268,754 bytes, fetched 2026-09-17T03:00:59Z. Occurrences of "Take-Two": 1. Occurrences of "TTWO": 0. Occurrences of "Grand Theft Auto": 0. The single mention, verbatim: The supplementary stocks as of November 2024 include the common stock of Electronic Arts, Snap, Inc. and Take-Two Interactive Software. It is an index constituent list from November 2024 inside a bank's note prospectus. A full-text hit inside an exhibit is not the company naming the product. CONFIRMED, with a control that makes the zero real. EDGAR full-text search for "Grand Theft Auto VI" across 16 to 17 September returns 0 hits in a 1,027 byte response. The year-to-date control, the same phrase across 2026, returns 14 in a 9,168 byte response, including Take-Two's own 10-K, 10-Q, annual report, preliminary proxy and definitive proxy. The index is alive and does contain the phrase. The zero for the window is a real zero. What is and is not established CONFIRMED: the meeting is called for 09:00 Eastern on 17 September 2026, virtual and audio-only, record date 23 July 2026, from the company's own release and its proxy. CONFIRMED: four proposals, all the company's own, no shareholder proposal, ten director nominees of whom nine are independent. CONFIRMED as precedent: the 2025 meeting was 18 September and the Item 5.07 vote-results 8-K was accepted 2025-09-19 at 16:30:18, one day later. CONFIRMED: one Take-Two filing in the window, the Siminoff Form 4, two legs of 167 shares at $219.53 under a 10b5-1 plan adopted 19 February 2026. DEBUNKED: the Bank of Montreal prospectus as a GTA or Take-Two story. One mention, from a November 2024 index list, zero mentions of the game. THIS DESK'S OWN ARITHMETIC: the 334 share total and the $73,323.02; the dollar and percentage moves in the price table; and the 85 days since Take-Two's most recent GTA VI press release, which remains the one of 24 June 2026. Explicitly not claimed: anything about what happened at the meeting, any vote result, any remark by any executive today, or any 17 September share price. This piece was written before the meeting opened and says so in its first line. Method limits: the investor relations press release list was read at 477,403 bytes and contains zero occurrences of "September 16, 2026" and zero of "September 17, 2026", but there is no IR RSS feed, with ir.take2games.com/rss/pressrelease.aspx returning HTTP 404 at 13,537 bytes and ir.take2games.com/press-releases returning HTTP 404 at 13,534 bytes; businesswire.com's newsroom failed to connect at HTTP 000, 0 bytes; a Traders Union page carrying a TTWO headline returned HTTP 403 at 5,025 bytes and is recorded as unopened; and certificate transparency for take2games.com returned 4,620 entries with no 2026 data at all, which is a stale dataset rather than an absence, so nothing was reported from it either way. This desk's earlier coverage of the ballot itself is at the pay ratio and proposal three piece and the officer exculpation piece. The rest of today's reporting is on the news desk, the standing record is on the GTA 6 wiki, and the servers list and leaderboards are open for the 63 days to release, a count that is this desk's own arithmetic.
