Activision Blizzard (ATVI)

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE INITIATIVES IN FISCAL YEAR 2006

Over the past year, the Board has continued to refine and improve Activision's governance. As in past years, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee organized an extensive detailed self-evaluation process for the Board and each committee. The Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also facilitated a discussion and examination of all aspects of how the Board functions, including meeting effectiveness, director involvement and development; retention and receipt of stockholder communications; committee governance, effectiveness and composition, including Board and committee assessment of each committee; stockholder nomination of potential director candidates; Board size, composition and independence; and calendar and attendance.

As in previous years, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee continues to be actively engaged in a search for an additional independent director matching the criteria determined by the Board. In addition, in light of the Board's central role in seeking out, developing and retaining a strong management team to operate the Company, the Board has been actively engaged with management in succession planning matters to ensure continuity of management. Our Compensation Committee has reinforced the need to maintain a thorough succession plan by devoting a portion of the bonuses of certain of the Company's senior executives to the development of an acceptable succession plan and the establishment of a deep and talented pool of executives to deploy within the operations of the Company.

The Board strongly believes that it is important for the Company not only to comply with all current regulatory and legislative requirements, but also to adopt and abide by high standards in its governance structure and activities. Therefore, the Board will continue to review all new proposals announced by Congress, the SEC and the NASDAQ and intends to be proactive in addressing such rules and regulations. Furthermore, in fiscal 2006 the Board created a "Compliance Officer" position, the purpose of which is to develop, enhance and maintain a corporate governance program, and appointed Greg Deutsch to this position.
