Ubisoft Shareholders Discuss Buyout Terms with Tencent, Shares Surge
Dec 6, 2024, 02:54 PM
Ubisoft Entertainment SA's shareholders are reportedly engaged in discussions regarding potential buyout terms, with a focus on structuring a deal that would allow the Guillemot family to retain control over the company. Sources indicate that Tencent Holdings Ltd. is among the parties interested in increasing its influence over Ubisoft, potentially through a buyout. The talks come amidst a significant surge in Ubisoft's share price, which rose by 8.5% before trading was suspended. The discussions aim to explore options for taking Ubisoft private without diluting the founding family's control, according to Reuters.
