Microsoft Corp. and Activision Blizzard Inc. have charted a secondary course to merger approval in the Delaware Court of Chancery, asking the court directly to approve Microsoft’s $68.7 billion acquisition of Activision.
The deal closed in October, but the now-linked companies filed an application May 2 asking the court to confirm it’s valid. They’re seeking to end an ongoing, parallel case that an Activision shareholder, the Swedish pension fund Sjunde AP-fonden, has been pursuing since November 2022.
