Thanks, Nicole. Good morning and thank
you for joining our call on short notice. Today marks an exciting and transformative moment for Take-Two as we continue to build on our strategy which our leadership team began in 2007 of becoming the most
innovative, the most creative, and the most efficient entertainment company in the world. Were thrilled to announce our strategic combination with Zynga and the $12.7 billion stock and cash transaction which establishes Take-Two as one of the largest publicly traded interactive entertainment companies in the world and a leading developer and publisher of mobile games.
To date, much of our growth and success has been rooted in the organic investments weve made in our wholly owned and renowned labels, including Rockstar
Games, 2K, and Private Division. Our labels are home to some of the most iconic brands in the world, including Grand Theft Auto, Red Dead Redemption, Midnight Club, NBA2K, Bioshock, Borderlands, Sid Meiers Civilization, Mafia, and Kerbal Space
Program.
Weve also made strategic investments to strengthen our labels internal development capabilities, broaden our offerings, and enhance
our position within mobile including through our acquisitions of Social Point, Playdots, and Nordeus which now operate together as T2 Mobile Games. As a result we currently have the largest, most exciting, and most diverse pipeline in our
companys history.
That said, we believe there remains a meaningful opportunity to expand our enterprise further and create value for our players,
our colleagues, and especially our stockholders. This transformative combination will create a powerful and diverse portfolio of industry leading titles that span key platforms and genres across interactive entertainment developed by some of the
most creative and forward-thinking talent within the industry.
With the ability to share best practices across the enterprise, the company is expected to
benefit from substantial development and publishing synergies, unlock significant new revenue streams, and reach new audiences around the world.

the extraordinary leadership of Frank Gibeau and his highly creative and deeply experienced management team, Zynga has an established track record of strong operational execution and a firm commitment to innovation that has enabled the company to
become a highly successful top-five global leader in mobile interactive entertainment. Their mass market diversified offerings are available in more than 175 countries and engage 183 million mobile
