Ubisoft does not intend to sell itself for less than €60 per share, at least according to new rumors, collected by Dealreporter. It would have been revealed by some shareholders and people aware of Ubisoft’s moves, who would have spoken of a request of at least € 60 per share, tending towards € 70.
However, Ubisoft would even prefer something more, which is € 100 per share, considering its long-standing history.
The rumors about a possible acquisition of Ubisoft have been multiplying for some time now. There is talk of interest by Blackstone and KKR, two financial companies, but also of the will of the Guillemot family, led by Yves Guillemot, the CEO of Ubisoft, to buy shares of the publisher to avoid takeovers and remain independent.
At the time of writing this news, the value of Ubisoft’s shares is around € 48 each, after a decline that has lasted for a few years now, despite some decided price rises.
