According to the docket, on October 15, 2002, the Court entered the Order and Final Judgment by U.S. District Judge Denise L. Cote approving the Settlement as set forth in the Stipulation and the action was dismissed with prejudice. The Court awarded attorneys' fees in the amount of $1,500,000.00 and the reimbursement of expenses in the amount of $58,205.01, to be paid from the Settlement Fund. In the Stipulation of Settlement filed earlier on June 5, 2002, the Defendants established a Settlement Fund consisting of $7,500,000.00.

The complaint alleges that during the Class Period defendants materially misrepresented Take-Two's financial results and performance for each of the quarters of and full year of fiscal 2000, ended October 31, 2000, and each of the first three quarters of fiscal 2001, ended January 31, 2001, April 30, 2001 and July 31, 2001, respectively, by improperly recognizing revenue on sales to distributors. On August 24, 2001, the truth about the Company's financial condition began to emerge when the effects of defendants' scheme began to negatively impact the Company's financial results. It was not until December 14, 2001 and December 17, 2001, however, that the market began to learn that defendants had caused the Company to improperly recognize revenue for products shipped to distributors, where the distributors did not have a binding commitment to pay for the products, in direct contravention of GAAP. Significantly, defendants' unlawful accounting practices enabled defendants to portray Take-Two as a financially strong company that was experiencing dramatic revenue growth, and which was poised for future success when, in fact, the Company's purported success was the result of improper accounting practices. On December 14, 2001, following rumors of a possible restatement of Take-Two's financial results, Take-Two's common stock fell 31% --$4.72 a share to $10.33 per share. During the Class Period, Take-Two shares traded as high as $24.50 per share. Defendants were motivated to misrepresent the Company's financial results, by among other things, their desire to sell approximately 900,000 shares of Take-Two common stock during the Class Period at artificially inflated prices for proceeds of over $15 million.
