Activision Blizzard is going independent, buying out Vivendi for &#036


Recommended Posts

Opa, eto ti ga sad!

 

Gaming giant Activision Blizzard announced it's buying out most of majority shareholder Vivendi's stake, at a total price of about $8.2 billion. Activision will pay about $5.83 billion in cash to Vivendi for 429 million shares, while an investment group led by CEO Bobby Kotick and co-chairman Brian Kelly will pick up 172 million shares for $2.34 billion, leaving Vivendi with 83 million shares, or about 12 percent of the company. The publisher of titles like Call of Duty and World of Warcraft (and Guitar Hero before it ran that into the ground), Activision reported $1.05 billion in net revenue for Q2 and raised its full-year revenue outlook slightly, although full results won't be available until August 1st. As Joystiq mentions, Vivendi has been unsuccessfully trying to sell its part of the company for nearly a year, hopefully this transaction works out the best for everyone. By everyone, we mean people still waiting for StarCraft: Ghost.

 

Šta mislite, kako će ovo da se odrazi dalje? Dobro, loše? :)

Pominjalo se da će kad istekne period iz ugovora po kome Vivendi ne može da ispumpava pare iz ABa da će da ih osuše ko logoraša, tipa ove pare kojima se AB otkupio bi Vivendi posle nekog roka povukao iz njih, bacio bi ih u dugove da se pokriju. U prevodu AB sad mora sve te pare opet da zaradi :tf:

jebote, smorio si sa kukanjem vise :D
