Shareholder class action challenging Microsoft Corp.'s acquisition of Activision Blizzard Inc.

A $250 million cash settlement resolving a shareholder class action that challenged Microsoft Corp.'s $75.4 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard Inc. has secured final court approval. The Delaware Chancery Court's chief judge overruled objections from a group of merger arbitrage funds, stating that carving out federal securities claims would upend the settlement and deprive class members of beneficial consideration.
