Ubisoft: buyout rumors prove the company's "appeal and value"

“The current speculation is putting in plain sight the real appeal and value of our success and of our value creation strategy,” said Yves Guillemot in call with investors Wednesday. “As mentioned before, as a publicly traded company, it is standard practice for our board to review any offer, in the interest of all shareholders, and of our creatives.”

Last week, it was claimed that Ubisoft’s founders, the Guillemot family, were aiming to purchase the business outright before external buyers. Despite all of the speculation, Ubisoft has remained silent on any current claims, instead stating that “we have everything we need to stay independent.” The corporation said it would look into any bids it received, but it wouldn’t say if it had seen any. Regardless, Ubisoft claims that if it decides to sell, the buyer will be receiving a good bargain.
