Investors Sue over Blizz/Activision Merger

Posted by Stephen Johnson - Wednesday, February 27, 2008 8:26 AM

An investor group is suing over the details of the Activision/Blizzard merger.

According to Next Generation:

Michigan-based Wayne County Employees' Retirement System said in a February 8 complaint that it is now in an "unfavorable minority position," as Vivendi will control a 52 percent stake in the new company, Activision Blizzard.

"The merger, stock purchase and tender offer, working in concert, convey control of Activision to Vivendi but fail to offer the Activision stockholders an opportunity to realize a true control premium for their stock," said the investors' lawyers.

No comment yet from either company.

Check out Adam Sessler's intial thoughts on the merger:

Wayne County is the most insanely sue-happy district I've ever heard of, being from the area I can tell you the courts and lawyers over there are greedy charlatans and nothing more.

No matter how frivolous the case is as long as it's tried in Wayne country they'll get their settlement :(

Let's merge, B!

Gotta say that I love that intro music. It is super fly, and makes me think Sessler is one crazy jive turkey.

Fo sho.
