Microsoft’s Smith to meet with FTC over Activision tie-up, NY Post says

Microsoft (MSFT) president Brad Smith intends to meet with the Federal Trade Commission’s three Democratic members on Wednesday in an attempt to keep the tech giant’s proposed takeover of Activision Blizzard (ATVI) from being scrapped over antitrust concerns, the New York Post’s Josh Kosman reports, citing sources. Smith and a group of attorneys are set to meet individually with FTC chair Lina Khan, who allegedly is skeptical of the deal, as well as Democratic commissioners Rebecca Slaughter and Alvaro Bedoya, the author says, citing sources close to the situation.
