Guillemot Brothers Limited announced on May 22, 2026 that it and a bank had extended an agreement originally dated Sep 1, 2017, which initially related to its acquisition of 2,000,016 Ubisoft Entertainment SA shares. The agreement, as amended, covered in particular the bank's financing of the purchase of the initial shares and related extended hedging agreements, contracts that offset price risk, for a period extended until on or around Apr 22, 2027.1^,2^,3

The release said Guillemot Brothers Limited had agreed to a call option, under which it agreed to sell the shares subject to the financing to the bank, and the bank had agreed to a put option, under which it agreed to buy them from Guillemot Brothers Limited. Both options could be exercised under certain conditions at the maturity date of the financing, and would be settled in cash or in shares, at the election of Guillemot Brothers Limited. The release said the underlying shares were pledged to the bank, which could dispose of them, subject to returning them to Guillemot Brothers Limited under certain conditions in the related share pledge agreement.4^,5^,6

The AMF, France's financial markets regulator, filed the release as inside information under Ubisoft, although the announcement was Guillemot Brothers Limited's own.7^,8^,2
