| UbiSoft CEO Interviewed About EA Deal @ GameSpot |
|
GameSpot has put up an <a href="http://www.gamespot.com/news/2004/12/29/news_6115594.html" target="_blank">interview</a> with UbiSoft Co-Founder and CEO Yves Guillemot about EA's recent "hostile" purchase of 19.9% of UbiSoft shares.<blockquote><em><strong>GS</strong>: Are there remaining shares of the company that are vulnerable to acquisition by Electronic Arts, and if so, is Ubisoft management considering options if EA were to become a majority shareholder?
<br>
<br><strong>YG</strong>: Ubisoft is a publicly traded company, with 22.8 percent of its voting rights held by the company’s founders. Of the remaining capital publicly held, 13 percent of voting rights are in the hands of financial institutions and 44.5 percent are in the hands of small shareholders. The management is studying all its options under several different scenarios.</em></blockquote> |

EA, please refrain from bringing another RPG franchise and a healthy company down, do hear me?!!!
As Ubi also holds the Might & Magic franchise, EA, after having brought down the Ultima franchise, is now greedy for anther grand RPG?!  |
