Does anyone else see every post in this thread after this one in all bold characters?  I'm set at 50 posts per page.

There are bold tags overflowing right after one of Ryuu's posts.

OT - yeah, deal seems dead now. I wonder if Activision's board could be persuaded to split the company into 2-3, Probably not.

I don't think they have to. My understanding is that Activision won't need to because if Microsoft did accept a structural remedy, the transaction would still proceed as planned, Activision would still receive the full $69bn from Microsoft and it would then be on Microsoft to find a buyer for Activision after the transaction closes (or very shortly before).

So essentially, ABK's board is being paid out no matter what in the event of an approval, they don't have to do any of the work, that is all Microsoft's responsibility if they accept the structural remedies, therefore I don't think Activision's opinion will really be a factor here, if anything, they'd likely tell Microsoft to accept the structural remedy, it's all dependent on what Microsoft wants.
