Regulatory drama continues to swirl around Microsoft-Activision <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Microsoft’s (NASDAQ:) proposed buyout of Activision Blizzard (NASDAQ:), the largest deal in gaming history, continues to face regulatory obstacles in both the U.S. and the U.K.<\/p>\n

But, at least on the U.S. side, Microsoft emerged victorious late Friday as the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) lost its attempt to temporarily block the merger via a court injunction.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, the U.K.’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has extended its review period after receiving a modified proposal from Microsoft, which claimed material changes in circumstance, as Reuters reported Friday.<\/p>\n

Activision shares closed the week with more than a 9% gain, while Microsoft was up around 2%.<\/p>\n

VMware stock jumps following EC approval of Broadcom\u2019s merger deal <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Broadcom (NASDAQ:) obtained conditional approval from the European Commission for its $61 billion acquisition of VMware (NYSE:).<\/p>\n

Broadcom has received legal clearance for the merger in Australia, Brazil, Canada, South Africa, and Taiwan, along with foreign investment control clearance in all necessary jurisdictions.<\/p>\n

Broadcom remains confident that the transaction will be closed within its fiscal year 2023.<\/p>\n

VMware shares gained more than 10% this week, while Broadcom shares rose nearly 5%.<\/p>\n

Exxon Mobil to buy Denbury for $4.9B<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Exxon Mobil (NYSE:) said on Thursday it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Denbury Resources (NYSE:) for $4.9B in an all-stock transaction, as reported in real time on InvestingPro.<\/p>\n

As per the agreement’s terms, Denbury shareholders will receive 0.84 shares of Exxon Mobil for each individual Denbury share they hold.<\/p>\n

Stratasys shares jump on improved 3D Systems merger offer<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Stratasys (NASDAQ:) shares surged nearly 9% on Thursday after 3D Systems (NYSE:) announced yet another enhanced offer to merge with Stratasys. Under the terms of this latest iteration, each Stratasys share would convert into $7.50 in cash and 1.5444 shares of the combined company, representing some 44% ownership for Stratasys shareholders.<\/p>\n

And earlier this week, after Stratasys had rejected a second unsolicited partial special tender offer from Nano Dimension (NASDAQ:), Nano again revised the proposal – this time to $24.00 in cash from the prior $20.05 – for the purchase of 31.9%-36.9% of outstanding Stratasys ordinary shares.<\/p>\n

All of this follows Stratasys’ agreement in May to be bought by Desktop Metal (NYSE:) in an all-stock $1.8 billion transaction. Stratasys has rejected 3D Systems’ previous offers, and says it is reviewing Nano’s latest bid.<\/p>\n

Stratasys shares soared more than 17% for the week.<\/p>\n
