Activision Blizzard prepares to exit the stock market in the run-up to the completion of its takeover

The FTC has finally decided to appeal following its legal defeat at the hands of Microsoft, again for the takeover of Activision Blizzard. However, the merger could still go ahead as early as this weekend, and a new clue points to it.

Activision Blizzard will be delisted from the NASDAQ-100 stock index just before the opening of trading on Monday July 17. The American firm will be replaced by another company called The Trade Desk. All this is being done with a view set to paving the way for the final validation of the acquisition.
