Judge temporarily halts Microsoft’s takeover of Activision, Reuters reports

Yesterday, U.S. District Judge Edward Davila granted the FTC’s request to temporarily block Microsoft’s (MSFT) proposed takeover of Activision Blizzard (ATVI) and scheduled a hearing for next week, Reuters’ David Shepardson reports. The judge set a two-day evidentiary hearing on the FTC request for a preliminary injunction for June 22-23 in San Francisco, Shepardson says, noting that Microsoft could have closed on the $69B transaction as early as Friday.
