(Reuters) – An antitrust review of Microsoft Corp’s proposed acquisition of Activision Blizzard Inc will be handled by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC), Bloomberg News reported late on Monday, citing a person familiar with the matter.
The FTC will oversee the investigation into whether the takeover will harm competition, the report said.
