Microsoft zahlt 250 Millionen zur Beilegung der Activision-Blizzard-Klage

Microsoft hat sich bereit erklärt, 250 Millionen US-Dollar zu zahlen, um eine Klage eines schwedischen Pensionsfonds im Zusammenhang mit der Übernahme von Activision Blizzard im Jahr 2022 beizulegen. Die Einigung beendet Vorwürfe, wonach der 69-Milliarden-Dollar-Deal das Unternehmen unterbewertet habe und aufgrund früherer Skandale überstürzt worden sei.

Der schwedische Pensionsfonds Sjunde AP-Fonden hatte Activision Blizzard und seinen ehemaligen CEO Bobby Kotick verklagt. Er machte geltend, dass die Transaktion überstürzt abgeschlossen wurde, um Problemen durch damalige Vorwürfe wegen sexuellen Fehlverhaltens zu entgehen. Der Fall war im vergangenen Herbst vor dem Delaware Court of Chancery verhandelt worden, bevor die Einigung erzielt wurde.
