The complaint alleges that Defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. Specifically, the complaint alleges that Defendants made many representations about the success of the Company’s primary product – Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and the positive contribution it was making to the Company’s revenues. However, it is alleged that Defendants failed to disclose that the Company improperly hid embedded pornographic materials directly in the programming of the game. The Complaint also alleges that Defendants failed to disclose this in order to obtain a rating of Mature 17+, versus a rating of Adults Only 18+, thereby enabling it to market the game to a wider audience.

On January 27, 2006, the City Attorney for the City of Los Angeles filed an action against the Company and its subsidiary, Rockstar, in the Superior Court of the State of California, alleging that the Company and Rockstar violated sections of the California Business and Professions Code by publishing untrue and misleading statements and engaging in unfair competition. In reaction to the announcement, share of Take-Two dropped from $17.03 to $14.69, or 13.7% on heavy volume.
