After having read a document that seemed to certify theapproval in the US of the marriage between Microsoft and Bethesda, here it is the same ZeniMax to give further proof that the gigantic acquisition operation of the Redmond giant has been completed successfully.
As reported on the company’s portfolio page, Providence Equity, principale stakeholder di ZeniMax, now officially describes the investment “realized“. In the financial field, the wording in question confirms that an agreement has indeed been successful. Investments can be listed as active or realized, in the latter case it means that stakeholder made a profit by selling the investment stake for more money than it was bought for. Conversely, active investment implies that no profit has yet been made by the stakeholder. In this case, Microsoft has promised Providence a six times bigger return than its previous outlay for the acquisition of ZeniMax Media in 2010.
The merger it has not yet been listed as approved by the European Commission, which is why Microsoft filed a new reminder notification to the Securities and Exchange Commission, the US federal body that controls the performance of the stock exchange. These notifications are presented when one company gains control over another, in this case we have Microsoft taking full control of ZeniMax Media.
The operation is therefore finalized with a outlay of 7.5 billion by the colossus of Redmond, which welcomes the various Bethesda studios and the franchises that have made the history of the company, including The Elder Scrolls, DOOM, Dishonored, Fallout and others.
