Fluctuations in foreign exchange rates may have a negative impact on the businesses of Activision or Vivendi Games.

        Activision and Vivendi Games transact business in various foreign currencies and have significant international sales and expenses denominated in foreign currencies, subjecting them to foreign currency risk. All of Vivendi Games' international sales are made in local currencies, which could fluctuate against the dollar. Vivendi Games has, in the past, entered into various derivative financial instruments with Vivendi to manage and reduce the exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. All of these instruments are traded over the counter by Vivendi with highly-rated counter-parties. All derivative financial instruments are only used for hedging purposes. Activision also has engaged in limited currency hedging activities. While these hedging activities mitigate some foreign currency risk, each company's reported results of operations and financial condition would be adversely affected by unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations. Additionally, there can be no assurance that Activision Blizzard will continue these programs, or that it will be successful in managing exposure to foreign



currency risks. In the future, currency exchange rates may have a negative or materially adverse impact on revenues from international sales and licensing and thus on each company's business and financial results.
