It seems that there is starting to be a real possibility that Ubisoft is sold in bulk to another company, which could be Tencent, which is reportedly pushing for the acquisition of the French publisher with his family Guillemot to seriously evaluate the operation also as a possible private buyer of the company, according to a Bloomberg report.
There is nothing confirmed at the moment, but the source is Bloomberg and can be considered quite reliable: according to the well-known newspaper, Tencent Holdings Ltd. and the founding family of Ubisoft Entertainment SA, the Guillemots, are evaluating some options from a financial point of view, including a potential block acquisition of the label French.
The complicated situation in which Ubisoft currently finds itself, having suffered huge losses in terms of share value over the year, so much so that it has more than halved in the space of a few months, would be favoring the possibility of a drastic solution such as sale.
Looking for stability
According to Bloomberg, Tencent and Guillemot Brothers Ltd. are in discussions with various consultants to explore possibility of stabilization of Ubisoft and strengthening value. This is what some unidentified internal sources reported, who reportedly reported the matter to Bloomberg.
According to these sources, among the possibilities discussed would be to join forces to take the company private or sell it to a strategic investor, with the Guillemot family representing the possible private operator of Ubisoft or Tencent carrying out the block acquisition , or some other possible agreement between the two parties.
In fact, some minority shareholders, including AJ Investments, are already pushing towards these solutions and the collapse in the value of the shares could at this point force the hand of the Guillemots for choices of this kind, in particular concerning Tencent in some role, but at the At the moment there is nothing certain about it yet.
Following the rumors, however, the title Ubisoft already has increased its value by 10%which can give an idea of how the news is being taken on the stock market.
