Activision investor sues over Vivendi merger
by Scott Jon Siegel

Since Vivendi comes out on top in the merger -- with 52% majority ownership of Activision -- the Wayne County Employees' Retirement System believes Activision didn't think of the stockholders when accepting the deal, which it claims otherwise could have proven more lucrative. No further details of the lawsuit are known at this time. The Activision Blizzard merger is scheduled to occur sometime in the first half of this year.

Those people will fail miserably with epic proportions. Vivendi does not mess around when it comes to legality. That retirement home is just wasting their time and money...

Dont be so quick on the issue. If I remember correctly, they can sue for breach of the duty of care against Activision. Vivendi is not the one who has control over such a suit. (The "Revlon" case might have been the one that covered such a claim)

Do you think we could go a week without one company NOT trying to sue the hell out of another company? No, ok. Well play nice children.

Isn't this the same group that's sueing Yahoo for rejecting the MS bid?
After a quick Google, yes, they are..
