UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Introduction

On January 9, 2022, Take-Two, Merger Sub 1, Merger Sub 2, and Zynga entered into the merger agreement. Pursuant to the merger agreement, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth therein, Merger Sub 1 will be merged with and into Zynga with Zynga continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Take-Two, and immediately following the merger, the surviving corporation in the merger will merge with and into Merger Sub 2, with Merger Sub 2 continuing as the surviving corporation.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 gives effect to the combination as if this transaction had been completed on December 31, 2021 and combines the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet of Take-Two as of December 31, 2021 with Zynga’s audited consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021 and the nine months ended December 31, 2021 give effect to the combination as if it had occurred on April 1, 2020, the beginning of the earliest period presented, and combines the historical results of Take-Two and Zynga. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021 combines the audited consolidated statement of operations of Take-Two for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, and Zynga’s derived unaudited consolidated statement of operations for the twelve months ended March 31, 2021. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2021 combines the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations of Take-Two for the nine months ended December 31, 2021 with Zynga’s derived unaudited consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2021. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information have been prepared pursuant to Article 11 of Regulation S-X.

The historical condensed consolidated financial statements of Take-Two and the historical consolidated financial statements of Zynga have been adjusted in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to give effect to pro forma events that are transaction accounting adjustments which are necessary to account for the combination, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions that our management believes are reasonable.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information should be read in conjunction with:

Description of the Combination

Pursuant to the merger agreement, Merger Sub 1 will be merged with and into Zynga with Zynga continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Take-Two, and immediately following the merger, Zynga, the surviving corporation in the merger will merge with and into Merger Sub 2, with Merger Sub 2 continuing as the surviving corporation. As a result, each issued and outstanding share of Zynga common stock will be converted into a number of shares of the Take-Two’s common stock equal to the exchange ratio (defined below) and the right to receive $3.50 in cash.

The transaction includes a collar mechanism on the equity consideration based on the volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) of Take-Two common stock (the “exchange ratio”). If Take-Two stock’s 20-day VWAP ending on the third trading day prior to closing is in a range from $156.50 to $181.88, the exchange ratio would be adjusted to deliver $6.36 of equity value based on that VWAP, plus $3.50 in cash. If the VWAP exceeds the higher end of that range, the Exchange Ratio would be 0.0350 per share and if the VWAP falls below the lower end of that range, the Exchange Ratio would be 0.0406 per share.

At the effective time, (i) the outstanding and unexercised options to purchase Zynga common stock will be assumed by Take-Two and automatically converted into options exercisable for shares of Take-Two Common stock (the “converted options”) and (ii) the issued and outstanding restricted stock unit awards with respect to Zynga common stock will be assumed by Take-Two and automatically converted into a Take-Two restricted stock unit award with respect to shares of Take-Two common stock (the “converted RSUs” and together with the converted options, the “converted awards”), in each case pursuant to the equity award exchange ratio. Following the effective time, the converted awards will vest based on continued service and will continue to be governed by substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the corresponding Zynga equity awards prior to the effective time.

The merger agreement provided for a “go-shop” provision under which Zynga and its board of directors could actively solicit, receive, evaluate, and potentially enter negotiations with parties that offer Zynga alternative acquisition proposals during a 45-day period following the execution date of the definitive agreement, which expired on February 24, 2022. Upon expiration of the go-shop period, there is a no-shop provision where Zynga cannot solicit any new proposals, and, if it does so, it will have to pay a termination fee of $550,000,000 which is higher than the $400,000,000 that it would be required to pay for entering into Zynga alternative acquisition proposals under the go-shop provision.

Description of the Financing

As part of the transaction, Take-Two is in negotiations with J.P. Morgan, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, BNP Paribas, and HSBC (the “Commitment Parties”) and intends to secure additional financing in the form of a new term loan in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000,000 (“term loan A”) and certain bonds for an aggregate principal amount of $1,700,000,000 (“bonds”), although the allocation of the total $2,700,000,000 principal amount between the term loan A and the bonds is subject to change. Take-Two has received committed financing in the form of a new unsecured bridge loan facility of $2,700,000,000 from J.P. Morgan which it will use as a backstop and which will only be drawn upon in the event Take-Two cannot secure new financing with the Commitment Parties. Take-Two intends to fund the cash component of the transaction and the costs and expenses related to the transactions through a combination of cash and maturing short-term investments from its condensed consolidated balance sheet as well as the proceeds from this additional financing.

Convertible Senior Notes

In June 2019, Zynga issued $690,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 0.25% convertible senior notes due 2024 (the “2024 notes”). The conversion rate (without giving effect to any adjustment resulting from the

combination that may be required by the applicable indenture) is 120.3695 shares of Zynga common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2024 notes, which is equal to a conversion price of approximately $8.31 per share of Zynga common stock. The principal amount for the 2024 notes as of December 31, 2021 was $690,000,000.

In December 2020, Zynga issued $874,500,000 aggregate principal amount of 0% convertible senior notes due 2026 (the “2026 notes”). The conversion rate (without giving effect to any adjustment resulting from the combination that may be required by the applicable indenture) is 76.5404 shares of Zynga common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 2026 notes, which is equal to a conversion price of approximately $13.07 per share of Zynga common stock. The principal amount for the 2026 notes as of December 31, 2021 was $874,500,000.

In connection with the issuances of the 2024 notes and 2026 notes, Zynga entered into privately negotiated capped call options with certain counterparties (the “2024 capped calls” and “2026 capped calls,” respectively). The 2024 capped calls had an initial strike price of approximately $8.31 per share, subject to certain adjustments, which corresponds to the initial conversion price of the 2024 notes and an initial cap price of $12.54 per share, subject to certain adjustments. The 2026 capped calls had an initial strike price of approximately $13.07 per share, subject to certain adjustments, which corresponds to the initial conversion price of the 2026 notes and an initial cap price of $17.42 per share, subject to certain adjustments. The 2024 capped calls and 2026 capped calls were intended to reduce the potential economic dilution to Zynga common stock upon any conversion of the 2024 notes or 2026 notes, respectively, and/or offset any cash payments made in excess of the principal amount of converted notes with such reduction and/or offset, as the case may be, subject to a maximum based on the cap price.

Upon completion of the combination, holders of the 2024 notes and 2026 notes will be entitled to elect to convert the convertible notes at a special make-whole conversion rate and, upon any such conversion, Take-Two will be entitled to settle such conversion for (i) cash, (ii) the cash and stock components of the merger consideration or (iii) a combination thereof. The holders of the 2024 notes and 2026 notes are expected to convert during the make-whole fundamental change period (as defined in the applicable indentures) subsequent to the effective time as the terms of the indentures provide an economic incentive for holders to convert their notes, and as such, the related capped calls are also expected to be settled. Take-Two is also expected to settle any conversions of the convertible notes in the form of the merger consideration (i.e., the same mix of cash and Take-Two stock). The pro forma condensed combined financial information includes convertible notes and capped call adjustments to reflect the probable conversion of all of the convertible notes (and the settlement thereof by Take-Two in the merger consideration) and settlement of the associated capped calls.

Accounting for the Combination

The combination is being accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method with Take-Two as the accounting acquirer in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations. Under this method of accounting, the aggregate merger consideration will be allocated to Zynga’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values at the date of completion of the combination. The process of valuing the net assets of Zynga immediately prior to the combination, as well as evaluating accounting policies for conformity, is preliminary. Any differences between the estimated fair value of the consideration transferred and the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be recorded as goodwill. Accordingly, the aggregate merger consideration allocation and related adjustments reflected in this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are preliminary and subject to revision based on a final determination of fair value. Refer to Note 1—Basis of Presentation below for more information.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of what the combined company’s financial position or results of operations actually would have been had the combination occurred as of the dates indicated. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information also should not be considered indicative of the future results of operations or financial position of Take-Two.

The combination is subject to closing adjustments that have not yet been finalized. Accordingly, the pro forma adjustments are preliminary and have been made solely for the purpose of providing unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information as required by SEC rules. Differences between these preliminary estimates and the final combination accounting may be material.

TAKE-TWO INTERACTIVE SOFTWARE, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

  1.

Basis of Presentation

The pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared by Take-Two in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presented is for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what Take-Two’s condensed consolidated statements of operations or condensed consolidated balance sheet would have been had the combination been completed as of the dates indicated or will be for any future periods. The pro forma condensed combined financial information do not purport to project the future financial position or results of operations of Take-Two following the completion of the combination. The pro forma condensed combined financial information reflects transaction accounting adjustments management believes are necessary to present fairly Take-Two’s pro forma financial position and results of operations following the closing of the combination as of and for the periods indicated. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect any cost savings, operating synergies, or revenue enhancements that the combined company may achieve as a result of the combination, nor does it reflect the costs to integrate the operations of Take-Two and Zynga or the costs necessary to achieve any cost savings, operating synergies, and revenue enhancements.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, with Take-Two as the accounting acquirer, using the fair value concepts defined in ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, and based on the historical condensed consolidated financial statements of Take-Two and the historical consolidated financial statements of Zynga. Under ASC Topic 805, all assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are recognized and measured at their assumed acquisition date fair value, while transaction costs and restructuring costs associated with the business combination are expensed as incurred. The excess of merger consideration over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is allocated to goodwill.

The allocation of the purchase consideration for the merger depends upon certain estimates and assumptions, all of which are preliminary. The allocation of the purchase consideration has been made for the purpose of developing the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. A final determination of fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed relating to the acquisition could differ materially from that used for the preliminary allocation of purchase consideration. The final valuation will be based on the actual assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Zynga existing at the closing date of the combination and could result in a material difference to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

The transaction accounting adjustments represent Take-Two management’s best estimates and are based upon currently available information and certain assumptions that Take-Two believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Take-Two is not aware of any material transactions between Take-Two and Zynga (prior to the announcement of the combination) during the periods presented; hence, adjustments to eliminate transactions between Take-Two and Zynga have not been reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

Upon completion of the combination, Take-Two will perform a comprehensive review of Zynga’s accounting policies and reclassifications. As a result of the review, Take-Two may identify differences between the accounting policies and reclassifications of the two companies, which when conformed, could have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. With the information currently available, Take-Two has determined that no significant adjustments are necessary to conform Zynga’s consolidated financial statements to the accounting policies used by Take-Two. As a result, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presented assumes there are no differences in accounting policies. However, certain reclassification adjustments have been made to conform Zynga’s historical financial statement presentation to Take-Two’s financial statement presentation.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presented reflects the early adoption of ASU 2021-08, Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. Under this new standard, deferred revenue acquired in a business combination is measured pursuant to ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, rather than its assumed acquisition date fair value. Take-Two expects to early adopt this standard in fiscal year 2023 (as of April 1, 2022), prior to the completion of the combination and therefore expects to account for the combination under the new standard. The adoption of the standard will have no retrospective impact to Take-Two’s historical condensed combined financial statements or Zynga’s historical consolidated financial statements.

The pro forma condensed combined balance sheet, as of December 31, 2021, the pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, and the pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2021 presented herein, are based on the historical condensed combined financial statements of Take-Two and the historical consolidated financial statements of Zynga. The adjustments presented on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been identified and presented to provide relevant information necessary to assist in understanding the post-combination company upon consummation of the proposed transactions.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2021 has been derived from the following:

   

The unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations of Take-Two for the nine months ended December 31, 2021

   

The derived unaudited consolidated statement of operations of Zynga for the nine months ended December 31, 2021

Zynga’s results for the nine months ended December 31, 2021 were derived by subtracting the results for the unaudited three months ended March 31, 2021 from its audited statement of operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021 has been derived from the following:

   

The audited condensed consolidated statement of operations of Take-Two for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021

   

The derived unaudited consolidated statement of operations of Zynga for the twelve months ended March 31, 2021

Zynga’s results for the twelve months ended March 31, 2021 were derived by adding the results of the unaudited three months ended March 31, 2021 to its audited statement of operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 and subtracting the results of the unaudited three months ended March 31, 2020.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet has been derived from the following:

   

The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet of Take-Two as of December 31, 2021

   

The audited consolidated balance sheet of Zynga as of December 31, 2021

Reclassification Adjustments

The accounting policies used in the preparation of this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are those set out in Take-Two’s audited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021 and unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the nine months ended December 31, 2021. With the information currently available, Take-Two has determined that

no significant adjustments are necessary to conform Zynga’s consolidated financial statements to the accounting policies used by Take-Two in the preparation of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

The reclassification adjustments are based on currently available information and assumptions management believes are, under the circumstances and given the information available at this time, reasonable, and reflective of adjustments necessary to report Take-Two’s financial condition and results of operations as if the combination were completed.

The combined company will finalize the review of accounting policies and reclassifications after the transaction closes, which could be materially different from the amounts set forth in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presented herein. The reclassification adjustments currently identified are as follows:

A) Refer to the table below for a summary of reclassification adjustments made to present Zynga’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 to conform with that of Take-Two’s (amounts in 000’s):

Calculation of Estimated Merger Consideration and Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation

A. Estimated Merger Consideration

The estimated merger consideration for the purpose of this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is approximately $11,254,593 thousand. The actual stock consideration will change based on fluctuations in the share price of Take-Two’s common stock price and the number of common shares of Zynga outstanding on the closing date. The following table summarizes the preliminary estimate of the merger consideration to be transferred as a result of the combination:

Preliminary calculation of estimated merger consideration

(in 000’s, except share price, exchange ratio, and cash received per share)

          Amount  

Share consideration

Preliminary fair value of estimated total merger consideration

      $ 11,254,593  
     

 

 

 
(i)

The transaction includes a collar mechanism on the equity consideration, so that if Take-Two’s 20-day VWAP ending on the third trading day prior to closing is in a range from $156.50 to $181.88, the exchange ratio would be adjusted to deliver $6.36 of equity value based on that VWAP, plus $3.50 in cash. If the VWAP exceeds the higher end of that range, the exchange ratio would be 0.0350 per share, and if the VWAP falls below the lower end of that range, the exchange ratio would be 0.0406 per share.

(ii)

The stock consideration component of the estimated merger consideration is computed based on the total outstanding shares of Zynga common stock as of December 31, 2021, multiplied by the 0.04060 exchange ratio and the closing price of Take-Two common stock on the NASDAQ on March 28, 2022 of $156.50.

(iii)

Estimated consideration for replacement of Zynga’s outstanding equity awards, including partial acceleration of certain equity awards based on pre-existing terms of the awards. All other outstanding Zynga

  equity awards for continuing employees will be replaced by Take-Two’s equity awards with similar terms. A portion of the fair value of Take-Two’s equity awards issued represents consideration transferred, while the remaining portion represents compensation expense based on the vesting terms of the Converted Awards. The final value will be impacted by changes in the price of Take-Two common stock and the number of Zynga awards outstanding at the actual date of the closing of the combination.

The final purchase consideration could significantly differ from the amounts presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information due to movements in Take-Two’s common stock price up to the closing date of the combination. A sensitivity analysis related to the fluctuation in the Take-Two common stock price was performed to assess the impact of a hypothetical change of 10% on the Take-Two share closing price on the estimated purchase consideration and goodwill as of the closing date.

The following table shows the estimated purchase consideration and goodwill resulting from a change in Take-Two share price:

B. Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation

Under the acquisition method of accounting, the identifiable assets acquired, and liabilities assumed of Zynga will be recognized and measured at fair value as of the closing date of the combination and added to those of Take-Two. The determination of fair value used in the transaction-related adjustments presented herein are preliminary and based on management estimates of the fair value and useful lives of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and have been prepared to illustrate the estimated effect of the combination. The costs of finite-lived intangible assets are amortized through expense over their estimated lives. The final determination of the purchase price allocation, upon the completion of the combination, will be based on Zynga’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of that date and will depend on a number of factors that cannot be predicted with certainty at this time. Therefore, the actual allocations will differ from the transaction accounting adjustments presented. The allocation is dependent upon certain valuation and other studies that have not yet been completed. Accordingly, the pro forma purchase price allocation will be subject to further adjustments as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses and final valuations are completed. There can be no assurances that these additional analyses and final valuations will not result in significant changes to the estimates of fair value set forth below.

The following table sets forth a preliminary allocation of the estimated merger consideration to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Zynga based on Zynga’s audited consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021, with the excess recorded to goodwill:

As a result of the merger, Take-Two expects to realize the benefit of certain deferred tax assets where Zynga previously recorded a valuation allowance, therefore the valuation allowance will be reduced in purchase accounting.

(iii)

Deferred tax liabilities were derived based on fair value of identified intangible assets.

C. Intangible Assets

Preliminary identifiable intangible assets in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information consist of the following:

Total

   $ 4,700,000     
  

 

 

    

The estimated fair values and useful lives of identifiable intangible assets are preliminary and have been performed based on publicly available benchmarking information, as there are limitations on the type of information that can be exchanged between Take-Two and Zynga prior to the effective time. As discussed above, the amount that will ultimately be allocated to identifiable intangible assets and the related amount of amortization, may differ materially from this preliminary allocation. Any change in the valuation of intangible assets would cause a corresponding increase or decrease in the balance of goodwill. A hypothetical 10% change in the valuation of intangible assets would result in a change to annual amortization expense of approximately $80,089 thousand, assuming a weighted average useful life of 7 years.

(i)

Represents the estimated cash proceeds expected to be received from the settlement of the capped call options, which were entered into by Zynga in connection with the 2024 notes and 2026 notes. Upon completion of the combination, the holders of the 2024 notes and 2026 notes are expected to convert during the make-whole fundamental change period (as defined in the applicable indentures) subsequent to the effective time as the terms of the indentures provide an economic incentive for holders to convert all of their notes, and as such the related capped call options are expected to be terminated in connection with the conversion of the convertible notes. To the extent that the actual settlement proceeds are more or less than the assumed proceeds, cash and cash equivalents would increase or decrease by a corresponding amount. A sensitivity analysis related to the volatility of the cash settlement amount was performed to assess the impact of a hypothetical change of 10% in the volatility on the estimated cash proceeds as of the closing date.

The following table shows the estimated increase/decrease of cash proceeds from the settlement of the capped call resulting from a change in the expected volatility:

(iii)

Cash paid to Zynga shareholders as part of the merger consideration. Refer to Note 3(A) for further details regarding the estimated merger consideration.

(iv)

These costs consist of legal advisory, financial advisory, accounting, and consulting costs of Take-Two and Zynga.

(v)

Reflects the cash payment to settle the 2024 notes and 2026 notes. Upon completion of the combination, holders of the notes will be entitled to elect to convert the convertible notes at a special make-whole conversion rate and, upon any such conversion, Take-Two will be entitled to settle such conversion for (i) cash, (ii) the cash and stock components of the merger consideration or (iii) a combination thereof. The holders of the 2024 notes and 2026 notes are expected to convert during the make-whole fundamental change period (as defined in the applicable indenture) subsequent to the effective time and as such are reflected as an adjustment. Take-Two is also expected to settle any conversions of the convertible notes in the form of the merger consideration (i.e., the same mix of cash and Take-Two stock). The conversions are assumed to be probable as the terms of the indentures provide an economic incentive for holders to convert all of their notes during the make-whole fundamental change period.

(B) Reflects the elimination of Zynga’s historical goodwill and the capitalization of the preliminary goodwill for the estimated merger consideration in excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired in connection with the combination:

(C) Reflects the preliminary purchase accounting adjustments for estimated intangible assets based on the acquisition method of accounting:

Description (in 000’s)

   Amount  

Fair value of intangible assets acquired

   $ 4,700,000  

Elimination of Zynga’s historical intangible assets

     (900,504
  

 

 

 

Pro forma net adjustment to intangible assets, net

   $ 3,799,496  
  

 

 

 

(D) Reflects the deferred tax impact resulting from pro forma fair value adjustments of identified intangible assets of $1,014,243 thousand, and the release of the valuation allowance of $104,986 thousand based on the applicable statutory tax rate with the respective estimated purchase price allocation. In addition, Zynga’s historical deferred tax liability of $22,478 thousand related to the 2024 notes and 2026 notes was released as a result of the conversion (refer to Note 5(F), below). The effective tax rate of the combined company could be significantly different (either higher or lower) depending on post-combination activities, including cash needs, the geographical mix of income and changes in tax law. Because the tax rates used for the pro forma condensed combined financial information are estimated, the blended rate will likely vary from the actual effective rate in

periods subsequent to completion of the combination. This determination is preliminary and subject to change based upon the final determination of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities.

(E) Reflects adjustments to current and long-term debt for borrowings to fund the combination net of aggregate reductions in long-term debt. The adjustments to current and long-term debt are summarized as follows:

Description (in 000’s)

   Amount

(i)

Reflects expected borrowings needed to consummate the combination. Actual future borrowings may vary based on working capital needs to operate the business following the combination.

(ii)

Upon completion of the combination, holders of the notes will be entitled to elect to convert the convertible notes at a special make-whole conversion rate and, upon any such conversion, Take-Two will be entitled to settle such conversion for (i) cash, (ii) the cash and stock components of the merger consideration or (iii) a combination thereof. The carrying value of the 2024 notes and 2026 notes have been adjusted to fair value. Fair value was determined by applying the cash and stock components of the merger consideration to the number of shares derived by converting the ending principal balance as of December 31, 2021 of the 2024 notes and 2026 notes utilizing their respective conversion ratios and make-whole fundamental change adjustments. The pro forma condensed combined financial information also includes convertible notes adjustments to reflect the probable conversion of the convertible notes. The holders of the 2024 notes and 2026 notes are expected to convert during the make-whole fundamental change period (as defined in the applicable indenture) subsequent to the effective time and as such are reflected as an adjustment. The conversions are assumed to be probable as the terms of the indentures provide an economic incentive for holders to convert all of their notes during the make-whole fundamental change period.

The new interest expense on transaction financing adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations reflect the interest expense and amortization of debt issuance costs associated with new debt from the commitment parties. Interest was recognized for the Term loan A and the bonds, using the effective interest rate method with the weighted-average interest rate equal to 3.09% and 3.37%, respectively. A sensitivity analysis on interest expense for the nine months ended December 31, 2021 and the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021 has been performed to assess the effect of a 12.5 basis point change of the hypothetical interest on the debt financing. The following table shows the change in the interest expense for the debt financing transaction described above:

(ii)

If Take-Two is not able to consummate all or any portion of the transaction financing, Take-Two may utilize a bridge loan as an alternate source of financing; however, incremental interest expense would be payable. The aggregate interest expense on the bridge loan financing would be approximately $443,259 thousand and $419,634 thousand for the nine months ended December 31, 2021 and the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, respectively. Interest expense was computed using a weighted average interest rate of approximately 16.42% and 15.54% for the nine months ended December 31, 2021 and the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, respectively, computed on an aggregate outstanding balance of the bridge loan of $2,700,000 thousand. If the bridge loan is required to be utilized, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations would reflect an adjustment for the bridge loan financing and include an incremental interest expense of approximately $378,854 thousand and $332,216 thousand for the nine months ended December 31, 2021 and the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, respectively.

(G) The pro forma adjustments for the tax provision utilize a blended statutory income tax rate of 22% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021 and for the nine months ended December 31, 2021. Although not reflected in this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, the effective tax rate of the combined

company could be significantly different depending on post-combination activities, including repatriation decisions, cash needs and the geographical mix of income. Further, the pro forma adjustments for the tax provision reflect the benefit of U.S. deferred taxes generated by Zynga during the pro forma statement of operations periods presented. Historically, Zynga had not recorded the benefit of these U.S. deferred taxes within its consolidated tax provision as Zynga had concluded that realization of these deferred taxes was not more-likely-than-not.

(H) The pro forma basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding are a combination of historic weighted average shares of Take-Two common stock and the issuance of shares in connection with the combination. In connection with the combination, Take-Two agreed to replace certain equity awards held by Zynga employees with Take-Two equity awards. At this time, Take-Two has completed a preliminary analysis related to eligible employees and vesting schedules in order to determine the impact to the basic and diluted weighted average shares from the converted awards. The pro forma basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding are as follows:
