Winters resigns as Take-Two CFO

Just weeks after shareholders led a successful bid to bring in a new team of executives for Take-Two, chief financial officer Karl Winters has resigned from his post.

The shareholders group initially demanded the removal of CEO Paul Eibeler and a review of Winters's position. Eibeler was ousted at the end of last month, with Ben Feder acting as interim CEO, and Winters's future was due to be discussed at a conference call scheduled for today.

But now Winters has also left the company. The role of CFO has been taken on by Lainie Goldstein, formerly senior vice president of finance, until a permanent replacement can be found.

"Karl oversaw finance at Take-Two during challenging times for the company," said Feder.

"He was instrumental in assembling a highly competent financial team that will serve us well in the future. We appreciate Karlâs hard work and his continued support during the transition."
