Following its decision to block Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard, the CMA has detailed further restrictions imposed on the two companies:
published by the Competition and Markets Authority restricts Microsoft and Activision Blizzard from"acquiring an interest" in each other. The CMA says these restrictions are in place to"prevent pre-emptive action" from either company.
The CMA says Microsoft and Activision Blizzard will need"prior written consent" from the regulator before either company can: acquire an interest in the other company or its subsidiaries, which includes investing in development studios, acquire an interest in other businesses that hold interests in the other company, and hold an option to acquire an interest in either of the two previous examples.
