If they were to do that wouldn't it just decrease the number of shares in circulation, effectively increasing Vivendi's percentage and making their job easier for them? So if it has to be a private person like you said to do it that way then Guillemot would effectively have to buy the shares personally right? |
You are correct on both accounts, but it doesn't have to be a private person, it just has to be (at least one) third party entity. Like the government if Canada or whatever. Multiple third party entities can co-operate in the buy-out defense too, which is what Ubisoft is trying to organiza.
