Explanation of Responses:
1. This amendment on Form 4/A is being filed to correct the amount of securities beneficially owned by the reporting person by including an additional 944,400 shares of Activision Blizzard, Inc.'s common stock that were not reported in the original Form 4. This amendment reflects that the reporting person acquired a total of 359,198,945 shares of common stock in the two-for-one stock split in the form of a stock dividend that was payable on September 8, 2008 to holders of record on August 25, 2008 (rather than 358,254,545 shares which was originally used to calculate the amount of securities beneficially owned in the original Form 4).
2. The 718,643,890 shares of Common Stock are owned directly by VGAC LLC, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vivendi Games Acquistion Company, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vivendi Holding I Corp., which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Vivendi S.A.
