In re Activision Blizzard, Inc. Stockholder Litig.
Annotate this CaseThis action concerned a transaction in which Vivendi S.A. divested its controlling equity position in Activision Blizzard, Inc.. The transaction (“the Restructuring”) restructured Activision’s governance profile and stockholder base. The Lead Plaintiff and his attorneys (Lead Counsel) challenged the Restructuring. Before trial, the parties entered into a Settlement, and Lead Counsel sought court approval for the settlement. Thereafter, three objectors appeared. The first objector objected to the Settlement itself and the other two sought a fee award for their counsel. The Court of Chancery approved the Settlement, awarded $72.5 million to Lead Counsel, authorized Lead Counsel to make a $50,000 payment to the Lead Plaintiff from their award, and denied any fee award to the objectors’ counsel.
