Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
On January 18, 2008, in connection with our acquisition of Big Huge Games, Inc. (‘‘BHG’’), we issued an
aggregate of 199,631 shares of our common stock to stockholders of BHG as partial consideration for the
purchase of their shares of BHG. The shares are restricted from transfer and held in escrow by THQ until
certain criteria are met, as set forth in the BHG stock purchase agreement. We issued and sold these
shares in a transaction exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the
‘‘Act’’) and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The shares were offered to ‘‘accredited investors,’’ as
defined under Regulation D, and no more than 35 non-accredited investors. At the time immediately prior
to making any sales, we believed that each purchaser who was not an accredited investor had such
knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that they were capable of evaluating the merits
and risks of the prospective investment. Each investor was given access to information about us, as
specified in Regulation D, in making investment decisions. The recipients of the shares were not acting as
underwriters within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Act, written disclosure was made to each
recipient that the shares have not been registered under the Act and, therefore, cannot be resold unless
they are registered under the Act or unless an exemption from registration is available, and appropriate
legends were affixed to the share certificates issued to each recipient. The issuance of these shares was
made without general solicitation or advertising.
