    European regulators gave the deal the go-ahead in May, so Microsoft could now technically close without the UK and without an injunction in the US preventing it. That’s a complicated scenario though, so we’ll likely see Microsoft and Activision Blizzard temporarily extend their merger agreement to cover the CMA appeal process instead

    It’s not clear to me what “without the UK” means?
