Some interesting results from the T2 shareholder meeting:

First, from a T2 source, GamePolitics has learned that the controversial compensation package sought by chairman Strauss Zelnick (left) and his management team was approved by a 73% shareholder margin. What effect that will have on the EA bid remains to be seen. We should know more on Friday.

From a game standpoint, Zelnick let slip that T2 has already seen some of the reviews for GTA IV. Although he didn’t specify the publications involved, he did say that all of the reviews were perfect scores:

We’ve already received numerous [GTA IV] reviews, and to a one, they are perfect scores. My mom couldn’t write better reviews…

It’s no surprise that GTA IV is garnering great reviews, as all previous major GTA releases have as well. It is interesting

that the reviews are apparently flawless - not to mention that Zelnick has revealed that knowledge ahead of date.

Of the shareholder affirmation of his compensation package, Zelnick said later, via press release:

Today’s vote demonstrates stockholders’ confidence in management and the Board of Directors of Take-Two. The Board and management remain committed to acting in the best interests of stockholders. We are confident in the significant growth potential of Take-Two and in the different value of our business given our strong position in that dynamic industry.

In other meeting business, Zelnick declined to say whether he had signed a confidentiality agreement (presumably with EA) and plus wouldn’t comment on today’s report that the Federal Trade Commission is requesting additional goods on any potential EA-T2 merger.
