What a Buyout Looks Like Before it Goes Hostile
Here we have excerpts from the very cordial correspondence between EA CEO John Riccitiello and Take-Two chair Strauss Zelnick regarding how EA wants to gobble up the work-in-progress Take-Two.
The actual letters are quite long-winded, so here's our own summary of the correspondence:
Feb. 6, 2008
Dear Strauss:
Congratulations on your recent announcement about the release date for Grand Theft Auto IV. I am sure it must feel great to have this important title locked and ready.
[PS: I'm going to try to buy your company at a price that is below what you think is fair.]
Sincerely,
John Riccitiello
Chief Executive Officer

Feb. 15, 2008
Dear John:
Thank you for your letter of February 6, 2008.
No way in hell. But again, thank you, kind sir. And I loved Madden 08.
Sincerely,
Strauss Zelnick
Executive Chairman of the Board
.................
Feb. 19, 2008
Dear Strauss:
Thank you for your letter of February 15, 2008.
You disappoint me.
We hope that you and your Board share our enthusiasm, and we look forward to hearing back from you by February 22.
Sincerely,
John Riccitiello
Chief Executive Officer

Dear John:
Thank you for your letter of February 19, 2008. Must I say again? The offer is too little, too soon. Can't you see we're trying to get our sh** together with the launch of GTA IV? You know this, friend. But maybe after we've launched our latest carjacking title, we can discuss this. Seriously.
In order to alleviate any concerns you may have about the proposed starting date for these discussions, I would be pleased to meet with you privately as soon as possible to talk on a general basis. Does Applebee's sound agreeable?
I look forward to your favorable response.
Sincerely,
Strauss Zelnick
Executive Chairman of the Board
