UK set to clear Microsoft's deal to buy Call of Duty maker Activision Blizzard

Microsoft-Activision: UK looks poised to clear restructured deal

Microsoft Corporation's (NASDAQ:MSFT) revised terms for the US$69 billion takeover of Activision Blizzard Inc (NASDAQ:ATVI) have been provisionally accepted by the UK competition watchdog. After the Competition and Markets Authority identified concerns about how the original deal would affect the cloud gaming market, the Xbox owner proposed a new deal, including spinning off rights for existing Activision cloud games - such as its massive Call of Duty franchise - to Ubisoft Entertainment (OTC:UBSFF, EPA:UBI).

The U.K. Competition and Markets Authority had blocked the Redmond tech giant's initial $69 billion transaction, first put forward in January 2022, on concerns that it would restrict competition in the nascent cloud gaming sector. The U.K. regulator still has “limited residual concerns that certain provisions in the sale of Activision's cloud streaming rights to Ubisoft could be circumvented, terminated, or not enforced.”

Ubisoft Entertainment SA

Ubisoft recently announced that it had acquired the cloud gaming rights to Call of Duty and all other Activision Blizzard games released over the next 15 years. The cloud gaming industry has the scope to replace the traditional model, with forecasting suggesting a growth rate of >40%. With this acquisition, Ubisoft is positioned as a leader. Downside continues to be protected by the strategic quality of Ubisoft and its low valuation (4.4x NTM EBITDA), making it a highly attractive takeover target.

Ubisoft: Agreement With Activision To Drive Further Value

Microsoft Corp's recent agreement to license the cloud gaming rights to all Activision Blizzard Inc (NASDAQ:ATVI) titles to Ubisoft on an exclusive global basis outside of the European Economic Area could be sufficient to eliminate anticompetitive concerns of UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), according to Wedbush Securities analysts in a note to clients.  Under its original order, the CMA pointed out its view that the acquisition of Activision would give Microsoft an unfair competitive advantage in the cloud gaming market— namely that its ownership of Activision games would unfairly benefit Microsoft's Game Pass service by allowing that service to release the games to cloud gaming subscribers at the same time as the games were to be otherwise released on consoles and PC.

The rights will be in perpetuity, and apply to markets outside the European Economic Area.
