I have no idea how this works, so this is probably a stupid question, but couldn't Ubi prevent a hostile takeover simply by buying back a majority part of their shares?

As in, the typical movie ending where the good guys end up having 51% of the shares and can save the company because of that?

"simply"

They can, but not "simply".

Well, I did say I wasn't sure how this works, so no need to be condescending right?  (I apologize if sounding condesending was not your intent, but that's how it came off to me.)

I was looking for actual information there though, so how about you explain to me me why exactly it will be difficult to do instead? Because if my company was facing a hostile takeover I'd be moving heaven and hell to prevent it.
