EMAIL TO EMPLOYEES REGARDING ANNUAL MEETING

All Employees:

Tomorrow is Take-Two’s 2006 Annual Meeting. We understand and appreciate the interest of employees in the meeting so we’re providing a live simulcast for employees to listen to the meeting via the Take-Two corporate site: http://ir.take2games.com 

Some employees have also inquired about attending the meeting in person. Unfortunately, space restraints require us to limit in-person attendance to Take-Two employees organizing and working at the meeting. If you are a Take-Two shareholder you are entitled to attend, but because the meeting is during business hours, please discuss with your supervisor before you leave the office for the meeting.

On behalf of Take-Two management and the Board of Directors, thank you for your patience over the last couple of weeks and we appreciate your support. Take-Two is a great Company because of you and we encourage you to be supportive of the outcome of tomorrow’s meeting.

Sincerely,
Paul Eibeler
