Ubisoft's founding Guillemot family, which owns a 14 percent stake in the company and Tencent, which holds a 9.99 percent stake, are talking to advisers to explore ways to stabilize Ubisoft and increase its value after it lost more than half of its market value. In 2024, one possibility is a joint acquisition to take the company private, according to a Bloomberg report citing people familiar with the matter.
Some minority shareholders, such as AJ Invest, have recently pushed Ubisoft to privatize or sell the company.
According to reports, the discussions are at an early stage and there is no certainty that the transaction will happen. Other alternatives are reportedly being considered.
