jehurey 3,318 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 So, when the entire Activision-Blizzard scandal was coming out, and they were being investigated by the State of California, many people were assuming that Bobby Kotick was going to get fired, that the shareholders simply had no choice. And many were preplexed when they actually stood by him, and didn't punish him at all. And this is why............the negotiations with Microsoft is what PROTECTED Bobby Kotick from any punishment, because he was the one in the negotiations. And this is his reward for being a slimey piece of shit executive for all of these years: Quote Severance, benefits continuation, and "impact on equity awards?" Totaling $292,970,341. Plus he owns around 4.3 million shares that Microsoft will pay $95 per share for. So I guess it could be renegotiated to have less being paid out, but he's still making bank from his shares. https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/0000718877/000130817921000286/latvi2021_def14a.htm Its estimated that Kotick is walking away with a $700 million payout from all of this.

Twinblade★ 4,207 Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 It definitely sounds like Activision's shares having dropped lately contributed to MS' decision. Link to post Share on other sites

No, because all signs indicate that MS is buying Activision stock at $95 a share. Which would be almost near their all-time 5 year high. Link to post Share on other sites

Except I wasn't because if you read my sentence: Quote Which would be almost near their all-time 5 year high. It fits with that................and I specifically typed it like that because I was aware that it did go over $100 at one point. So..............what is wrong here is your reading comprehension...............AGAIN. Holy shit, you really do have a problem understanding words and sentences, don't you?
