The shares and voting rights held by the Group’s employees represent a very small percentage.
>>>
The percentage of the capital held by the entities on the Board of
Directors is 4.516%.
The percentage of voting rights held by the entities on the Board of
Directors is 3.905%.
The change in ownership structure was due to a series of capital
increases which resulted in the dilution of stock ownership and to
the transferring of shares by the Guillemot brothers and Ubi
Participations, in particular as part of acquisitions.
On June 15, 2001, Ubi Participations acquired a double voting right
for the pure registered shares which it had held for two years.
There is no shareholder’s pact between Ubi Participations, Claude,
Michel, Yves, Gérard, Christian, Marcel and Yvette Guillemot, nor is
there any agreement between the above-mentioned shareholders
and outside shareholders.
As of 03/31/01, to the best of the company’s knowledge no share-
holder (other than Claude, Michel, Yves, Gérard and Christian
Guillemot) owned more than 5% of the capital.
The following shareholders held more than 1% of the share capital:
Bank of New York 3.43 %
Investors Bank & Trust Co. 3.03 %
Chase Manhattan Bank Luxembourg 2.09 %
Caisse des dépôts et consignation 1.69 %
SG France Opportunités 1.68 %
Chase Manhattan Bank 1.36 %
Bank of New York 1.43 %
State Street Bank & Trust 1.35 %
AGF Invest SICAV 1.03 %
The voting right percentages are similar to the percentages of the capital owned.
As of 03/31/01 there were 40,858 shareholders.
On May 30, 2001 the financial markets regulatory body announced
that Amvescap Plc had exceeded the threshold of 5% of the capital
of Ubi Soft Entertainment voting rights. This London company now
directly holds 871,322 shares and voting rights in Ubi Soft
Entertainment.
