Comment on Tencent, Guillemot Family Said to Consider Buyout of Ubisoft
ampersandrew@lemmy.world 1 month agoThe family is buying the shares as well, with Tencent having a minority ownership. Or might, rather. This is a consideration. It isn’t definitely happening.

But I’m just asking, naively, is 10% a “buyout” by any reasonable definition of the term? I thought that was just a “stake”. I thought a “buyout” meant buying all of someone’s stake.

Tencent and Guillemot combined are considering a buyout of other shareholders. Most of that is Guillemot, with Tencent increasing their share very slightly from 9.2% to 10%.
