Ubisoft shareholders protest outside Paris headquarters, accusing the company of failing to reveal “discussion” with Microsoft, EA and others allegedly interested in acquiring IPS

A minority shareholder in Ubisoft is trying to organize protests outside the company's Paris headquarters, accusing it of failing to disclose alleged discussions with Microsoft, EA and other publishers about the acquisition of its franchise.

Juraj Krúpa, CEO of AJ Investments, claimed in a statement that Ubisoft was “caused to be terrible bad management by current management” and hopes to conduct a “clear roadmap chart” from the senior team to address “declined shareholder value, lack of operational execution, and a failure to effectively carry out an attitude towards market trends”.

Krúpa claims Ubisoft is not transparent about its decisions, accusing the company of “hiding information”, including Assassin's Creed Sea City Rage DLC's partnership with Saudi investment firm Savvy Group.

Shareholders also noted that a restricted article published by commercial investment platform Mergermarket claims “Microsoft, EA and other discussions interested in getting IPS from Ubisoft.” “The management has not informed the public about these steps, either,” Krupa claimed.

IGN has asked Ubisoft to comment.

Back to October, Bloomberg reports Ubisoft’s founding Guillemot family and shareholder Tencent are discussing taking the company private in the wake of many high-profile failures, game cancellations and company stock price crashes. At the time, the negotiations were only exploratory, Ubisoft told IGN that it would “tell the market when appropriate”.

Over the years High-profile slippers,,,,, Layoffs,,,,, Studio close,,,,, Game cancellation and delay after delay after delay.

Meanwhile, the rumor continues to introduce the exact suggestions the board is considering, and the idea that some media have surfaced is Tencent is increasingly reluctant to accept Ubis As the Guillemot family insists on retaining a lot of control. Sans Tencent, few other companies are big enough and rich enough to spend the cash needed to save Abatross Ubisoft's growth.

“Management delayed the current game (which should save the company and its finances) assassin's first Assassin's Creed on July 18, 2024,” Krupa's statement said. “On that date, Ubisoft confirmed the annual full-year guidance and the release of AC Shadows on November 15, 2024. (a) A few months later, in September 2024, Ubisoft delayed the game again and revised its guidance, which we think is (a) could be predicted by (a) ubisoft Management (ubisoft Management).

“After the third delay, the game will eventually be released on March 20, 2025. These delays and revisions have led to a serious stock decline, which has mainly hurt retail investors who have caused retail investors who manage their positions accordingly. The move mainly benefits from corporate and institutional investors who benefit from the purchase party in terms of purchases to create prices such as Credit Agricole, Goldman Sachs Sachs, Morsher, Morsher, Morther, and others, among others, among others.

AJ Investment believes management has not communicated with shareholders, so AJ Investment is calling on all investors to “frustrated by the long-term stagnation of Ubisoft’s stock performance and lack of decisive action” in its protests in May.

“We know that Ubisoft’s management and CEO conducted a financial review of potential strategic options on the recommendations of Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan. We expect that the review will produce results in the coming months,” said Juraj Krúpa, founder of AJ Investments.

“That’s why we organized this demonstration in May to make sure they have time to conclude that they really increase shareholder value. If their conclusions effectively increase shareholder value, we will cancel the demonstration.

“All Ubisoft shareholders/investors deserve a company that maximizes value and operates with transparency and accountability,” Krúpa added. “Ubisoft continues to underperform compared to its industry peers, and now the company listens to its shareholders. This demonstration will be a strong statement from investors who believe in the company's potential but demands urgent changes.”

AJ investors said it is ready to “prosecute companies to mislead investors.”

This is not the first time the investor has asked the company to privately when the stock falls after a disappointing issue “Star Wars”.

Back to September, AJ Investments sends a strongly worded open letter to Ubisoft's board of directorsincluding its CEO Yves Guillemot and investor Tencent to express their dissatisfaction with the company's performance and its current share price, and urged the company to change its leadership and consider selling. After weeks of turmoil at Ubisoft, Megacorp's Stock price fell after massive entertainment Star Wars offenders launchedUbisoft later confirmed that performance was lower than expected.
