> the split will see 439 shares (worth $5.83 billion) bought by Activision Blizzard itself, while an investment group led by Kotick and Kelly will purchase 172 million shares (worth $2.32 billion)

It's a typo. The real number is 429 million shares.

429 million sounds about right. 439 million skews the numbers way too much.
