The SEC Levels Up: Statement On In Re Activision Blizzard, SEC Commissioner Hester M. Peirce Feb. 3, 2023

Date 03/02/2023

Today, the Commission announced a $35 million settlement with Activision Blizzard Inc. (“Activision Blizzard”). The Commission alleges no fraud, misrepresentations, omissions, or investor harm. The settled enforcement action comes in the wake of public reports of rampant workplace misconduct at Activision Blizzard, which the Commission believes was not adequately tracked and reported to the people within the company responsible for SEC disclosures. The Commission also charged Activision Blizzard with “undermin[ing] the purpose of Section 21F and Rule 21F-17(a) to ‘encourag[e] individuals to report to the Commission.’” I dissent because the Order does not articulate any securities law violations.

1. On 4 February 2023, members of the Price Cap Coalition reached consensus on the maximum prices for seaborne Russian-origin petroleum products.
