Take Two kupuje Zynga za 12.7B

Take-Two Interactive, the company that owns Rockstar and 2K, has announced that it has entered into an agreement to buy mobile game developer Zynga in a massive deal that could be the highest-valued video game acquisition of all time. Yes, even bigger than Microsoft's buyout of Bethesda.

Announced in a press release, the two companies have agreed that Take-Two will acquire all of Zynga's shares and take ownership of the company. The value of the move is approximately $12.7 billion. Rather than a total cash buyout, Take-Two has facilitated the deal by purchasing Zynga's shares using a combination of cash and Take-Two's own stock.

The terms of the agreement sees Zynga stockholders receiving $3.50 in cash and $6.36 worth of Take-Two common stock, making each Zynga share value at $9.86. This marks a premium of 64% on Zynga's closing share price on January 7, 2022.
