Microsoft and Activision exploring changes to $75bn deal, says CMA
微软探索重组动视暴雪收购交易,争取英国批准
Restructured transaction could trigger a fresh UK antitrust probe, says regulator
此前阻止最初交易的英国竞争与市场管理局证实，重组交易可能导致其展开新的反垄断调查。这意味着该交易有望复活。
Microsoft and Activision are exploring a restructured version of their proposed $75bn tie-up in a move that could trigger a fresh UK antitrust probe, according to the regulator that last month blocked the original deal.
今年早些时候阻止最初交易的监管机构称，微软(Microsoft)和动视暴雪(Activision)正在探索重组其拟议中的750亿美元联姻，此举可能导致英国进行新的反垄断调查。
The Competition and Markets Authority said on Wednesday that the only way to return to the negotiating table would be to start from scratch with a new deal.
英国竞争与市场管理局(CMA)周三表示，重返谈判桌的唯一路径是从头开始设计一份新协议。
“Whilst merging parties don’t have the opportunity to put forward new remedies once a final report has been issued, they can choose to restructure a deal, which can lead to a new merger investigation,” the watchdog said in a statement on Wednesday. “The CMA is prepared to engage with them on this basis.”
“尽管最终报告发布后，合并方没有机会提出新的补救措施，但他们可以选择重组交易，而这可能会导致一项新的合并调查，”该监管机构在周三发表的一份声明中表示。“竞争与市场管理局准备在此基础上与他们接触。”
