Exhibit 99.4
dated as of June 12, 2013
with respect to the Warrant Confirmations
between TAKE-TWO INTERACTIVE SOFTWARE, INC. and BARCLAYS BANK PLC
THIS UNWIND AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) with respect to the Warrant Confirmations (as defined below) is made as of June 12, 2013 between Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (the “Company”) and Barclays Bank PLC (“Dealer”), represented by Barclays Capital Inc. (the “Agent”).
WHEREAS, the Company and Dealer entered into a base warrant confirmation, dated as of May 28, 2009 (the “Base Warrant Confirmation”), and an additional warrant confirmation, dated as of May 29, 2009 (the “Additional Warrant Confirmation” and together with the Base Warrant Confirmation, the “Warrant Confirmations”), each pursuant to which the Company issued to Dealer warrants to purchase shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company;
WHEREAS, the Company has requested, and Dealer has agreed, to unwind the Warrant Confirmations subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of their mutual covenants herein contained and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Warrant Confirmations, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby mutually covenant and agree as follows:
1. Defined Terms. Any capitalized term not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth for such term in the Warrant Confirmations.
2. Early Redemption. The Company agrees that:
(a) if it calls its Convertible Senior Notes due 2014 (the “Convertible Notes”) for redemption pursuant to the terms thereof, it shall notify Dealer in writing on the date that the Company is first able to provide the representation set forth in Section 2(b) below of the scheduled redemption date and, if the Company elected to settle the related conversion obligations in respect of conversions of Convertible Notes called for redemption (the “Called Notes Conversion Obligation”) in cash or a combination of cash and Shares, the fixed amount of cash per Convertible Note that the Company has elected to deliver to holders of such Convertible Notes (such notice, the “Dealer Redemption Notice”); and
(b) the Dealer Redemption Notice shall contain a representation that, on the date thereof, each of the Company and its affiliates is not in possession of any material nonpublic information regarding the Company or the Shares.
3. Warrant Unwind. (a) Each party agrees that an Early Termination Date under the Warrant Confirmations shall occur on June 1, 2014 provided that the Company, prior to June 1, 2014, has provided Dealer with a written notice that, as of the date of such notice, each of the Company and its affiliates is not in possession of any material nonpublic information regarding the Company or the Shares.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Dealer receives the Dealer Redemption Notice containing the representation set forth in Section 2(b) above prior to June 1, 2014, the date that Dealer receives the Dealer Redemption Notice shall be an Early Termination Date under the Warrant Confirmations.
(c) Any termination under clause (a) or (b) above shall terminate all Transactions under the Warrant Confirmations as the Affected Transactions with the Company as the sole Affected Party, and the Company shall pay to Dealer the Early Termination Amount in USD on the date provided in Section 6(d)(ii)(2) of the Agreement (as defined in the Warrant Confirmations).
(d) For purposes of the foregoing:
(i) If the Early Termination Date occurs on or prior to the 54th Scheduled Valid Day immediately preceding the scheduled redemption date for the Convertible Notes (the “Matched Cut-off Date”) and the Called Notes Conversion Obligation is entirely in cash or a combination of Shares and cash in excess of USD 1,000 per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, Dealer shall calculate the Early Termination Amount in accordance with the Agreement (as defined in
the Warrant Confirmations) by calculating the sum of, for each Hedge Unwind Date in the Matched Hedge Unwind Period, the Daily Early Termination Amount in respect of a pro rata number of Warrants for which it has not calculated a prior Daily Early Termination Amount pursuant to this clause (d). In calculating each Daily Early Termination Amount, Dealer shall use as the stock price input the Settlement Price on the relevant Hedge Unwind Date (it being understood that Settlement Price has the meaning set forth in the Warrant Confirmations without giving effect to the second sentence thereof, and references to “Valuation Date” shall be references to “Hedge Unwind Date”). As used herein:
(A) “Daily Early Termination Amount” means an Early Termination Amount as calculated in accordance with the Agreement (as defined in the Warrant Confirmations) in respect of such pro rata number of Warrants for which a Daily Early Termination Amount is being calculated;
(B) “Matched Hedge Unwind Period” means the fifty consecutive Valid Days beginning on, and including, the 52nd Scheduled Valid Day immediately preceding the scheduled redemption date for the Convertible Notes;
(C) “Valid Day” means a day on which (i) there is no Market Disruption Event and (ii) trading in the Shares generally occurs on the Exchange or, if the Shares are not then listed on the Exchange, on the principal other United States national or regional securities exchange on which the Shares are then listed or, if the Shares are not then listed on a United States national or regional securities exchange, on the principal other market on which the Shares are then traded. If the Shares are not so listed or traded, “Valid Day” means a Business Day;
(D) “Scheduled Valid Day” means a day that is scheduled to be a Valid Day on the principal United States national or regional securities exchange or market on which the Shares are listed or admitted for trading. If the Shares are not so listed or admitted for trading, “Scheduled Valid Day” means a Business Day; and
(E) “Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday, a Sunday or a day on which the Federal Reserve Bank of New York is authorized or required by law or executive order to close or be closed.
(ii) If the Early Termination Date occurs after the Matched Cut-off Date (including after the redemption date for the Convertible Notes) or if the Company does not redeem the Convertible Notes, Dealer shall calculate the Early Termination Amount in accordance with the Agreement (as defined in the Warrant Confirmations), except that the stock price input used to calculate the Early Termination Amount shall be calculated by referencing each Settlement Price (it being understood that Settlement Price has the meaning set forth in the Warrant Confirmations without giving effect to the second sentence thereof, and references to “Valuation Date” shall be references to “Hedge Unwind Date”) on each Hedge Unwind Date.
(iii) A “Hedge Unwind Date” means (i) in respect of clause (d)(i) above, each Valid Day during the Matched Hedge Unwind Period or (ii) in respect of clause (d)(ii) above, each date, chosen by Dealer in its commercially reasonable discretion, on which Dealer unwinds its hedge of the Warrants underlying the Warrant Confirmations.
(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Hedge Unwind Date is a Disrupted Day in part, then the Settlement Price on such Hedge Unwind Date shall be the volume-weighted average price per Share on such Hedge Unwind Date on the Exchange for such time period, as determined by Dealer based on such sources as it deems appropriate using a volume-weighted methodology, for the portion of such Hedge Unwind Date for which Dealer determines there is no Market Disruption Event and the Early Termination Amount shall be adjusted by Dealer to account for such disruption. For purposes of this Agreement, “Market Disruption Event” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 6.3(a) of the Equity Definitions but amended by replacing clause (ii) in its entirety with “(ii) an Exchange Disruption, or” and inserting immediately following clause (iii) the phrase “; in each case that the Calculation Agent determines is material.”
