Take-Two agrees to outline its three-year product plan.

take two - EA and Take-Two in private talks

Reuters reports that EA and Take-Two have signed a confidentiality agreement after agreeing to hold private talks about a potential transaction.

EA's hostile pursuit of Take-Two was dropped after the publisher agreed to outline its three-year product plans.

"As a result, EA does not intend to make any further announcements regarding the status of any discussions or negotiations with Take-Two unless and until discussions between EA and Take-Two have been terminated or such parties have entered into a transaction," EA said in a regulatory filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Previously EA's offer to buy Take-Two for $25.74 a share - approximately $2 billion - in April was rejected as too low.
