Send to email | Report: EA Ready To Extend Take-Two Offer, Again (ERTS, TTWO) in ERTSTTWO | By Silicon el 18-May-2008 |

The WSJ thinks Electronic Arts (ERTS) will extend its tender offer for Take-Two Interactive (TTWO) yet again. The old offer, at $25.74, expired at midnight Friday; the WSJ expects that EA will have something to say by Monday morning.
That's a reasonable bet, because at this point EA has two choices in front of it:
- Bump up its offer in hopes of swaying EA shareholders, who have pushed ERTS up to $27.10.
- Walk away -- either because the company really doesn't want to chase after TTWO, or because its convinced that shares will plummet once it pulls out, and it can re-engage down the line (sound familiar?)
