Pretty much.
But I'm surprised they left it this late. I honestly thought they would have already had these talks last week.
It would be definitely the biggest surprise if Activision Blizzard walks away.
A lot of this is very sudden, and we will never know I guess
I doubt they walk away unless Amazon or something of that size offers them even more money to them in the background with the condition that they walk away. Another possible but pretty unlikely scenario is that ABK decides they now want a higher price and MS says no.
Amazon only have 60M on cash. So prob no. I don't think ABK walk away. But I would like to be wrong.
Yeah, I think he's going to extend.
But, if we find out Bobby wants way more than 3b if this deal fails, then maybe MS doesn't actually know the CMA's decision.
That being said, I think it's going to eventually pass.
ABK is absolutely entitled to more money.
As is, their stock is hard-capped at 95$.
As a shareholder you don't want that for the next 2 months, because that's like losing money.
They can easily ask for 100-105$ or even more per share.
They got MS by the balls.
If the deal fails, ABK has many different avenues to soften the stock dip : 3 billion + their current cash reserves for stock buyback, release MW3 footage we know they are sitting on, announce Diablo 4 new character class DLC, etc.

So it’s not actually done…Microsoft in talks to extend deal contract with Activision -source

They are not walking away. Shareholders wants this sale... Bobby doesn't but I fear Microsoft will keep around.
I think it would look bad if they tried to close the deal tomorrow before the CMA made their final ruling. It's like most of this time is going to be used to make people believe they're actually reviewing the case when they actually made their decision already.
This is all speculation of course.
People on era PS OT thread are having meltdowns over @Angie ban, what the hell…
The mods didn't take kindly to the forum being called out for hypocrisy in cheerleading for the deal.
