Scott+Scott Attorneys at Law LLP Investigating Activision Blizzard, Inc.’s Directors and Officers for Breach of Fiduciary Duties – ATVI

NEW YORK, Oct. 3, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — Scott+Scott Attorneys at Law LLP (“Scott+Scott”), an international securities and consumer rights litigation firm, is investigating whether certain directors and officers of Activision Blizzard, Inc. (“Activision”) (NASDAQ: ATVI) breached their fiduciary duties to Activision and its shareholders.  If you are an Activision shareholder, you may contact attorney Joe Pettigrew for additional information toll-free at 844-818-6982 or jpettigrew@scott-scott.com.

Scott+Scott is investigating whether members of Activision’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) made false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts, about Activision’s business, operations, prospects, and financial health.  On April 29, 2010, Activision announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Activision Publishing, Inc., entered into an agreement with Bungie, Inc. (“Bungie”), giving Activision exclusive rights to publish and distribute video games developed by Bungie for the next 10 years.  This partnership resulted in the financially successful Destiny franchise, a series of science fiction-themed video games.  As late as November 8, 2018, Activision filed a quarterly report with the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission listing Destiny as among Activision’s “key product franchises” and stating that it had “established a long-term alliance with Bungie to publish its game universe, Destiny.”  During an earnings call held on the same day, Activision was asked about the “health of the Destiny franchise,” but failed to mention any rift between itself and Bungie that could lead to a premature split of the partnership.

On January 10, 2019, Activision and Bungie announced the end of their business relationship and that Bungie would “assume full publishing rights . . . for the Destiny franchise. Going forward, Bungie will own and develop the franchise.”  On this news, Activision’s stock fell close to 10%.
