If you caught the Ubisoft E3 conference you may remember Ubisoft’s CEO Yves Guillemot making a speech to state the importance of the company’s freedom. While it wasn’t said on stage it was clear that this was a stand against Vivendi, the company which is currently engaged in a process of acquiring Ubisoft stock to take control in a hostile takeover.
Now Ubisoft has taken the step to discount its shares by 15% for its employees, with Canadian staff able to invest 25% of their annual salary while US staff are limited to 2.5%. The total amount of shares available for sale amount to 3% of the company’s stock. Employees who take part will have shares held for five years, and after that period they can choose to reinvest in another fund or sell.
