Last year, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bnnbloomberg.ca\/activision-s-kotick-could-see-520-million-on-microsoft-deal-1.1760191\">Bloomberg<\/a> reported the CEO could see $520 million from the sale. In a securities filing published in 2022, Activision Blizzard said Kotick would receive $14.4 million in severance if he was terminated or left under various circumstances within a year of a change of control at the company. At the time, Kotick owned 4.3 million shares and had the right to acquire another 2.2 million through the exercise of options, which could potentially be worth $520 million in total at the $95 per-share price Microsoft offered.<\/p>\n<p>Kotick leaves Activision after 30 years as CEO and with clear financial success under his tenure, but his time at the top has been mired in controversy. Employees have issued a number of complaints about sexism, a toxic work culture, and even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/inside-activision-blizzards-week-of-reckoning\">walked out over reports Kotick failed to make the company\u2019s board aware of allegations of rape and other serious misconduct<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>California\u2019s Department of Fair Employment and Housing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/activision-blizzard-sued-by-california\">sued Activision Blizzard<\/a> in July 2021, alleging a retaliatory \u201cfrat boy\u201d culture. And just last week, Activision Blizzard was hit with another National Labor Relations Board complaint by the Communication Workers of America union.<\/p>\n<section data-transform=\"divider\"><\/section>\n<p><em>Image credit: David Paul Morris\/Bloomberg via Getty Images<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Wesley is the UK News Editor for IGN.
