From the reuters article posted on the previous page. If things needed to be any more clear.
If the CMA is standing firm then that's great.
Still waiting until the deadline because for some reason I don't trust the CMA.

MS went on a PR Blitz yesterday to throw folks off, the CMA is calling it out now.
Some of yall fell for it, ya made the giant corporation trick ya again.
Deal is still prohibited in the UK, a restructuring would deffo trigger a new investigation.
ABK about to walk away with 3 billi

The CMA letting everyone know which parties came crawling back:
"Whilst merging parties don’t have the opportunity to put forward new remedies once a final report has been issued, they can choose to restructure a deal, which can lead to a new merger investigation. Microsoft and Activision have indicated that they are considering how the transaction might be modified, and the CMA is prepared to engage with them on this basis. These discussions remain at an early stage and the nature and timing of next steps will be determined in due course. While both parties have requested a pause in Microsoft’s appeal to allow these discussions to take place, the CMA decision set out in its final report still stands."

Microsoft’s Activision deal could face “new merger investigation,” UK regulator warns

Great to see CMA is still in full control of the deal crumbling.
I think people need to be prepared that this will be a big nothing burger from the CMA. If MS is so willing to jump back to the table even after winning the FTC case, it more than likely means the remedies are very light.
People keep mentioning partial divestiture. That might as well be true. You have to keep in mind that the CMA is interested in protecting the UK consumers. If MS decides to not publish these games in the UK, and transfer publishing rights to others, making them available to everyone there, they still win this.
They have the rest of the world to recoup the sales and nothing changes for them.
This won't turn out as good as some of you think.

Absolute madness.The CMA letting everyone know which parties came crawling back:

We seeing in real time a corporate conglomerate spin narratives in the media.
We getting closer to a dystopian society by the day.
I'm unwavierd and unconvinced. MS didn't just suddenly realized theirs a way forward with only a couple of days left. Theater. It's all been worked out and this is just theater. A deal is in placed and ready to go. MS is too close to the finish line now. It's too late to be stopped. CMA didn't have to do anything.
People really think the CMA didn't work things out with MS yet... They had no reason to do anything. They didn't have to let MS reconstruct anything. They could of said no, to the CAT we go! If MS though they had a weak case at the CAT and wanted to reconstuct the deal, CMA would of said no if they wanted the deal to die. *Yawn this thing closes. Stock didn't even really drop. It's at 90.
Did you read any of the updates? The deal is still blocked and the CMA stands by their final report.
They’re allowing MS to come up with new ways to address their concerns which will require a whole new investigation.
Nothing has really changed with the CMA. They didn’t back down line we all assumed.
Can you stop lying and spin everything.
CMA still blocking the deal.
M$ reconstuction means remedies which CMA lie down : cut CoD, cut Activision or cut Activision-Blizzard.
That's all to it. Period.
