Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), with respect to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”) to be filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or about the date hereof. The Registration Statement relates to the sale by the selling shareholders named in the Registration Statement (the “Selling Shareholders”) of up to 603,817 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”), which were issued pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 17, 2020, by and among the Company, Dash MS, LLC, Dash MS II, LLC, Playdots, Inc. and Shareholder Representative Services LLC, as amended from time to time.
We have examined, among other things, originals and/or copies (certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction) of such documents, papers, statutes, and authorities as we have deemed necessary to form a basis for the opinion hereinafter expressed. In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures and the conformity to original documents of all copies submitted to us. As to various questions of fact material to our opinion, we have relied on statements and certificates of officers and representatives of the Company.
Based on the foregoing, and subject to the limitations, qualifications, exceptions and assumptions expressed herein, we are of the opinion that the Shares are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
This opinion is limited to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, and we express no opinion with respect to the laws of any other jurisdiction or any other laws of the State of Delaware.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm under the caption “Legal Matters” in the prospectus contained in the Registration Statement. In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
