Item 5.03.              Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

 

In connection with the settlement by Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (the “Company”) of a historic securities class action matter related to Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and option backdating, which settlement was approved by the Southern District of New York court in October 2010, the Company agreed to, among other things, adopt certain changes to its corporate governance policies and practices.  As part of such measures, on November 12, 2010 the Board of Directors of the Company approved an amendment to Article II, Section 12(A) of the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (“Bylaws”) to add a new subsection (5) to provide that no business may be properly brought before an annual meeting of stockholders by a person other than a stockholder unless such matter has been included in the proxy solicitation materials issued by the Company, excepting procedural matters concerning the conduct of such annual meeting.  The amendment to the Bylaws became effective immediately upon its approval by the Board of Directors.  A copy of the amendment to the Bylaws is attached as Exhibit 3(ii) to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
