re: pg 7: Microsoft has finalized its purchase of Activision; trailer: first post on page 8

Lots of Twitter activity claiming that a CNBC reporter has reported that the CMA and MS/ABK have agreed to a small divestiture, which would mean this deal closes on Monday or Tuesday of next week unless the FTC is able to get an inunction through appeal (seems unlikely). Current deal deadline is July 18 but they would definitely extend that if they're close to a deal with the CMA and would probably "close over" the UK if they aren't able to come to a deal with the CMA.

I can't find anything to corroborate this divestiture claim, but quite a few people who have been right about every step of this process are saying this on Twitter so I am inclined to believe it. Additionally, the CMA needs a "win" in order to save face so a small divestiture would make sense here.

I'll post a legit article as soon as I can find one, but right now I'd classify this as a rumor only.
