is set for July, and the company's president Brad Smith will reportedly meet with legal representatives this week to discuss ways to counter the ruling, including, as an extreme case, pulling Activision out of the UK.Bloomberg
suggests that Brad Smith will be meeting with UK Chancellor Jeremy Hunt and representatives from the Competition and Markets Authority this week, to"voice his frustration" over the CMA's decision to block the Activision Blizzard deal. Both Hunt and Smith have voiced their disappointment with the CMA's ruling previously, with the UK chancellor saying that the regulator must"understand their wider responsibilities" during a recent business conference.
Alongside this week's talks, Bloomberg's sources have said that Smith will be meeting with Microsoft's legal representatives to draw out a strategy to counter the CMA's ruling. In an extreme case, the company could decide to bypass the UK and go ahead with the deal, or"withdraw Activision from the UK market."
