May very well happen on July 19.
Oh I know, they can extend, but publicly they've pushed the 18th as a hard date.
CNBC is owned by Comcast.
from what I can tell, it lies in the fact that on the 18th ABK is able to walk away with a cool 3 billion extra pocket change. They could make 15 AAA Sony moviegames with that amount of money
Our americans friends with more knowledge in the subject presented multiple examples that the FTC is a big joke to their heavily political and lobby justice system
Actually, yeah, I forgot about the court hearing. I do think that was a bit to get the judge's sympathy, but they did say this during their testimony that if the deal isn't closed by July 18, it will be dead.
For reference, $3 billion is roughly equal to 2 years' worth of net profit by Activision-Blizzard-King!

Another lie to add to my thread perhaps
Of course they would, but that's just negotiation. You could throw them another billion in overall value to agree to an extension. People don't understand how incredibly expensive it is to do M&A work around due diligence and other compliance areas. It probably cost them half a billion to get the paperwork ready. That's why I'm confused why there wasn't a normal extension.
Only if he speaks in 30 fps.. for maximum creative vision

The CMA when asked for comment on why the full merger is now approved.
What is this FTC thing everyone is talking about?
I had a friend who's supposed to be all in stocks saying this and I was just confused. How can you follow the stocks so closely and not know some basics?I posted this yesterday. M&As is one of the many reasons why stocks are delisted from the index fund. Remember that this is just an index fund, not the Stock Exchange itself (which would have been the real deal).
And December isn't the only month NASDAQ rejigs their funds. They just announced a few days ago that they'd be rejigging this very fund.
Denied in the lower court. The denial was appealed to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. FTC is asking 9th Circuit to keep a restraining order in place. Everyone is waiting to see if 9th Circuit acts at all, temporarily blocks a closing, or refuses to block anything. Failing to act would be the same as refusing to block on effect.
FTC appealed the decision to the 9th Circuit Court
I see that only their cable news segment is a Microsoft partnership. I'll correct that part of the post, but the rest still stands really. Those initial reports were deceptive at best.
I see and historically did they side with the FTC or they allow everything to pass?
Historically speaking the FTC has a terrible track record in preventing "mergers" like this
Cmon man just call your friends to pitch some balls to you .. have a little chat ..Historically speaking the FTC has a terrible track record in preventing "mergers" like this
I THINK the Appeals Court denies hearing the appeal especially depending on who the Judges are
And no before anyone asks I don't KNOW anything new, have been quite busy recently but still haven't seen anything that changed my mind
I never actively ask them pointed questions, probably why I remain friends with themCmon man just call your friends to pitch some balls to you .. have a little chat ..
As it stands, shareholders will be pretty much breaking even since the stock is close to the purchase price per share. Something to consider, possibly.

Just when you think he's your ally. Jenova baby.
Not any, it will be Corley, her son and Greenberg with a wig, it's obvious
I can presume if they work for one specific company they can be always in a "we will in this" confident mood.. that not always translate to what is going to effectively happen... just like the first CMA block I would thinkI never actively ask them pointed questions, probably why I remain friends with them
People could say that about anyone honestly
Haven't changed your mind meaning it's getting approved?Historically speaking the FTC has a terrible track record in preventing "mergers" like this

This is a GOT season for real real.
I don't judge anyone expect on how they treat me honestly
I feel it all revolves around the Appeals Court today
