Electronic Arts drops bid to acquire rival game maker
Electronic Arts has ended its nine-month pursuit of Take-Two Interactive Software and dismissed speculation Monday that it would return for a second attempt to acquire the rival video game maker.
EA abandoned its $2 billion takeover bid Sunday, saying its offer of $25.74 per share was based in part on the ability to publish Take-Two’s games this holiday season. Now that the window for that has passed and EA has had a chance to inspect Take-Two’s business, it has decided the company is not worth what Take-Two is demanding.
“We’ve stepped away. It’s as simple as that,” said Jeff Brown, vice president of EA’s corporate communications.
