Explanation of Responses:

( 1 )This transaction was effected at the direction of the investment manager of a managed account in the name of a trust for the benefit of the reporting person's spouse, over which the reporting person had no investment control, without the reporting person's knowledge. The reporting person only recently became aware of the managed account's transactions in ATVI securities and the trustee of the trust on whose behalf the trades were made has, again, directed the investment manager not to engage in any transactions in ATVI securities. Because the reporting person has no investment control over the managed account, the reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of securities held in the account, and the filing of this Form 4 shall not be construed as an admission that the reporting person beneficially owns issuer securities held or traded in the account or is required to report the account's holdings and transactions under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. ( 2 )The price reported in Column 4 is a weighted average price. These shares were purchased in multiple transactions at prices ranging from $82.17 to $82.49, inclusive. The reporting person undertakes to provide to Activision Blizzard, Inc., any security holder of Activision Blizzard, Inc., or the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, upon request, full information regarding the number of shares purchased or sold, as applicable, at each separate price within the ranges set forth in footnotes (2 through 14) to this Form 4.
