Vivedi Loans $5 Billion For Activision Merger
Vivendi Games and Activision announced a major merger deal last year, and the deal is about to be finalized these days. Vivendi, the parent company of Vivendi Games, announced a $5.13 billion loan to complete the merger. The loan will also be spent for Vivendi’s acquisition of French telecom provider Neuf Cegetel, which will cost about $2.2 billion. On December 12 last year, Vivendi announced the merger of the two companies, effectively becoming the biggest game publisher in the world.
