Britain’s Competition Appeal Tribunal grants adjournment on Microsoft-Activision deal

Britain’s Competition Appeal Tribunal granted the adjournment application which was requested jointly by the antitrust regulator, the CMA, and Microsoft, as part of the latter’s plan to try to buy Activision Blizzard.

The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) is waiting for Microsoft to submit a modified deal structure which the U.S. software giant hopes will help it gain UK regulatory approval to buy “Call of Duty” maker Activision.
