REASONS FOR THE WRITTEN CONSENT

Reasons for Approval of an Amendment to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to Increase the Number of Authorized Shares

        On July 11, 2008, the Company announced that its board of directors approved a two-for-one stock split, which will be effected by a 100% stock dividend to stockholders of record as of the record date for the stock split. The Company expects that the record date for the stock split will be a date shortly after the closing of the Company's previously announced self tender offer. This stock split will significantly increase the number of shares of common stock outstanding and the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance, thus necessitating the increase in the number of authorized shares of the Company. Except for the stock split, the Company's management has no present arrangements, agreements, understandings or plans for the issuance or use of the additional shares of common stock to be authorized by the amendment.

Reasons for Ratification and Re-approval of Actions Taken at 2007 Annual General Meeting

        As previously disclosed in the Company's definitive proxy statement, dated June 6, 2008, in February 2008, Activision discovered that, due to an error, the record date for the 2007 Annual Meeting was not in technical compliance with Delaware law or Activision's bylaws, which require such record date to be not more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting. In accordance with the terms of the Investor Agreement, dated July 9, 2008, by and among Vivendi, VGAC, Vivendi Games, and the Company, VGAC agreed to ratify and re-approve actions and proposals approved by Activision's stockholders at the 2007 Annual Meeting, and to vote against actions and proposals not approved by Activision's stockholders at such meeting, by written consent as permitted under Activision's bylaws. Such actions and proposals are described more fully herein and by the documents incorporated by reference herein.

ACTION TAKEN BY MEETING

        VGAC has delivered to the Company an executed written consent (i) approving an amendment to the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 1,200,000,000 to 2,400,000,000, and (ii) in accordance with the terms of the Investor Agreement, dated July 9, 2008, by and among Vivendi, VGAC, Vivendi Games, and the Company, ratifying and re-approving actions taken by Activision's stockholders at the 2007 Annual Meeting and voting against actions and proposals not approved by Activision's stockholders at such meeting. As of the date of the written consent, VGAC owned approximately 54% of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock.

        The Company's board of directors adopted resolutions approving and authorizing the actions described herein at a meeting on July 9, 2008.

        As the matters set forth in this Information Statement have been duly authorized and approved by the written consent of the holder of at least a majority of the Company's issued and outstanding voting securities, the Company is not seeking consent, authorizations or proxies from you. Section 228 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or DGCL, provides that the written consent of the holders of outstanding shares of voting capital stock, having not less than the minimum number of votes which would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted, may be substituted for a meeting. The affirmative vote of a majority in voting power of the outstanding stock of the Company entitled to vote thereon is required for the approval of the amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and approval by the majority of votes cast at a meeting would be required to approve the remaining actions described herein, which approval has been duly secured by the written consent executed and delivered in writing to the Company by VGAC, as noted above.

Table of Contents

        As of the record date, the Company had 657,779,121 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote. On the record date, VGAC owned, directly and indirectly, 358,254,545 shares, or approximately 54% of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock. Accordingly, the action by written consent executed by VGAC pursuant to Section 228 of the DGCL and delivered to the Company is sufficient to approve (or re-approve) and ratify the actions listed above and requires no further stockholder action.

NOTICE PURSUANT TO SECTION 228

        Pursuant to Section 228 of the DGCL, the Company is required to provide prompt notice of the taking of a corporate action by written consent to the Company's stockholders who have not consented in writing to such action. This Information Statement serves as the notice required by Section 228 of the DGCL.

EXPECTED DATE FOR EFFECTING THE ACTIONS TAKEN BY WRITTEN CONSENT

        Under Section 14(c) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14c-2 promulgated thereunder, the actions taken by written consent cannot be effected until 20 days after the date this Information Statement is sent to the Company's stockholders. This Information Statement will be sent on or about July 25, 2008 to the stockholders of the Company as of the record date. The actions taken by written consent will become effective 20 days after the mailing.

CHANGE IN CONTROL

        On December 1, 2007, Activision, Sego Merger Corporation, Vivendi, VGAC and Vivendi Games entered into a business combination agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the business combination agreement, on July 9, 2008, Activision and Vivendi Games combined their businesses through the merger of a newly formed, wholly-owned subsidiary of Activision with and into Vivendi Games. As a result of the merger, Vivendi Games, the parent company of Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. and Sierra Entertainment, Inc., became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. As consideration for the merger, VGAC, a subsidiary of Vivendi and the sole stockholder of Vivendi Games, received approximately 295.3 million newly issued shares of Company common stock. Simultaneously with the merger, VGAC purchased from the Company approximately 62.9 million newly issued shares of Company common stock, at $27.50 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $1.731 billion in cash. Following completion of the merger and share purchase on July 9, 2008, VGAC owned approximately 54% of the issued and outstanding shares of our common stock.

        Pursuant to the terms of the business combination agreement, we plan to launch a cash tender offer to purchase up to 146.5 million Activision Blizzard common shares at $27.50 per share on or before July 16, 2008. The tender offer will be funded by Activision Blizzard's cash on hand, including the $1.7 billion in cash received from the VGAC share purchase. In addition, if needed, Vivendi has agreed to acquire from Activision Blizzard additional newly issued shares for up to an additional $700 million of our common stock at $27.50 per share, the proceeds of which would also be used to fund the tender offer. Any remaining funds required to complete the tender offer will be borrowed from Vivendi. If the tender offer is fully subscribed, Vivendi and its subsidiaries will own an approximate 68% ownership stake in Activision Blizzard.

        Information regarding the arrangements or understandings between us and Vivendi with respect to election of directors and other matters may be found in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 15, 2008, and such information is hereby incorporated herein by reference. Such description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws, which are exhibits 3.1 and 3.2 to the

APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO OUR AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF
INCORPORATION TO INCREASE AUTHORIZED SHARES

        VGAC, a stockholder holding a majority of the voting power of the Company's common stock, has, by written consent, approved an amendment to the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, or Certificate of Incorporation, to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 1,200,000,000 to 2,400,000,000. The purpose of the amendment is to allow the Company to effect a two-for-one stock split announced on July 11, 2008.

        On July 9, 2008, the board of directors of the Company, adopted resolutions approving and authorizing the amendment, subject to stockholder approval. The board has determined that the amendment is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders and unanimously recommended approval by the stockholders. The board currently intends to file an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation reflecting the increase in authorized shares with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware no less than 20 days after the mailing of this Information Statement.

        The Certificate of Incorporation currently authorizes the issuance of up to 1,205,000,000 shares of stock, of which 1,200,000,000 shares are designated as common stock and 5,000,000 shares are designated as preferred stock. No shares of preferred stock are issued and outstanding. The amendment will not result in an increase in the number of authorized shares of preferred stock. Of the 1,200,000,000 shares of common stock currently authorized, as of the close of business on July 14, 2008, there were 657,779,121 shares issued and outstanding. In addition, as of July 14, 2008, the Company has reserved up to approximately 900,000 shares of common stock for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding warrants, 980,798 shares of common stock for issuance pursuant to the Company's employee stock purchase plans and 61,632,350 shares of common stock for issuance pursuant to the Company's current incentive compensation plans and programs.

        On July 11, 2008, the Company announced a two-for-one stock split, which shall be effected by a 100% stock dividend to stockholders of record as of the record date for the stock split. The Company expects that the record date for the stock split will be a date shortly after the closing of the Company's previously announced self tender offer. This stock split will significantly increase the number of shares of common stock outstanding and the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance, thus necessitating the increase in the number of authorized shares of the Company. Except for the stock split, the Company's management has no present arrangements, agreements, understandings or plans for the issuance or use of the additional shares of common stock to be authorized by the amendment.

        The board of directors proposed this amendment to ensure that the Company has sufficient shares available for general corporate purposes including, but not limited to, equity financings, acquisitions, establishing strategic relationships with corporate partners, providing equity incentives to employees, and payments of stock dividends, stock splits or other recapitalizations. The Company considers from time to time acquisitions, equity financings, strategic relationships and other transactions as market conditions or other opportunities arise.

        After the amendment becomes effective, the board may cause the issuance of additional shares of common stock without further vote of the stockholders of the Company, except as may be required in particular cases by the Company's charter documents, applicable law, the rules and regulations of Nasdaq or the rules of any national securities exchange on which shares of common stock of the Company may then be listed. Under the Certificate of Incorporation, the Company's stockholders do not have preemptive rights to subscribe to additional securities that may be issued by the Company, which means that current stockholders do not have a prior right to purchase any new issue of capital stock of the Company in order to maintain their proportionate ownership of common stock. In addition, if the board causes the Company to issue additional shares of common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock, such issuance could have a dilutive effect on the voting power and earnings per share of existing stockholders.

Table of Contents

        The amendment amends and restates Section 4.1(a) of the Certificate of Incorporation as follows:

"The total number of shares of capital stock which the Corporation shall have authority to issue is Two Billion Four Hundred Five Million (2,405,000,000) shares, of which Five Million (5,000,000) shares are designated Preferred Stock, par value $.000001 per share and aggregate par value of Five Dollars ($5) (the "Preferred Stock"), and of which Two Billion Four Hundred Million (2,400,000,000) shares are designated Common Stock, par value $.000001 per share and aggregate par value of Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($2,400) (the "Common Stock")."

        No director, executive officer, nominee for election as a director, associate of any director, executive officer or nominee or any other person has any substantial interest, direct or indirect, by security holdings or otherwise, in the amendment to the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, which is not shared by all other stockholders.

HOUSEHOLDING AND WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION

        The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (e.g., brokers, banks or other nominee record holders) to satisfy delivery requirements of our proxy statements, annual reports and/or information statements with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single copy addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as "householding," potentially provides extra convenience for stockholders and reduces printing and postage costs for companies.

        Some brokers, banks or other nominee record holders may be participating in the practice of "householding" this Information Statement. This means that only one copy of this notice and Information Statement may have been sent to multiple stockholders in your household. If you would prefer to receive a separate copy of this notice and Information Statement, or would like to receive separate proxy statements, annual reports and/or information statements of the Company in the future, or if you are receiving multiple copies of proxy statements, annual reports and/or information statements at an address shared with another stockholder and would like to participate in householding, please notify (a) your bank, broker or other nominee record holder if your shares are held in a brokerage account or (b) Activision Blizzard if you hold your shares directly as an Activision Blizzard stockholder of record. You can notify Activision Blizzard by sending a written request to Activision Blizzard, Inc., 3100 Ocean Park Boulevard, Santa Monica, California 90405, Attention: George Rose, Corporate Secretary, or by calling Activision Blizzard's Investor Relations department at (310) 255-2000.

        We file annual, quarterly and current reports, proxy statements, and other information with the SEC. Anything that we file with the SEC may be read and copied at the SEC's public reference rooms in Washington, D.C., New York, New York and Chicago, Illinois.
