PARIS (Agefi-Dow Jones)–Video game publisher Ubisoft announced Monday that it had taken note of recent press speculation concerning potential interests around the company and indicated that it regularly examines all its strategic options in the interest of its stakeholders.
On Friday, Bloomberg reported that Ubisoft’s main shareholders were examining different strategic options to turn around the video game publisher’s value. The founding family Guillemot and the technology group Tencent, which between them hold around 25% of Ubisoft’s capital, have hired advisors to think about the future of the group, according to close sources cited by the agency. Among the avenues considered, a takeover of Ubisoft followed by a delisting would have been mentioned.
In a press release sent on Monday, Ubisoft specifies that it “will inform the market in due course, if necessary”. “The company reiterates that management is currently focused on executing its strategy,” adds the video game publisher.
“If a purchase offer is presented, the board of directors will study it and determine whether it is interesting for the development of the group and for its shareholders,” declared Yves Guillemot, when Tencent crossed the 5% threshold upwards. of the publisher’s capital in 2022, in an interview given to the Agefi-Dow Jones agency.
