Juraj Krúpa, CEO of AJ Investments and Minority Shareperson in Ubisoft, has accused Assassin’s Creed Publisher of being “terribly wrongly administered by the current management” and plans a protest outside the company’s Paris headquarters.
According to a statement that was shared with IGN, Krúpa claims that Ubisoft failed to disclose acquisition discussions and pointed to a limited article published on the investment platform, Mergermarket, which alleged “Discrosoft between Microsoft, EA and others interested in acquiring IPS from Ubisoft.”
Krupa claims that: “The management did not inform [the] Publicly about these steps. “

Krúpa wants a “clear roadmap for improvement” from the senior Ubisoft team to tackle “declining shareholder value, smooth operational execution and lack of adaptation effectively to market trends.”
Ubisoft has since shared a statement with IGN in response to Krúpa’s claims and says, “As we mentioned during our Q3 sales, the review of various transformation strategic and capitalist opportunities is underway.
“The Board of Directors has established an ad-hoc independent committee to oversee this formal and competitive process, so as to extract the best value from Ubisoft’s assets and franchises for all stakeholders. Ubisoft will inform the market in accordance with applicable rules if and once a transaction is materialized.”
In October 2024, Bloomberg reported that Ubisoft was considering selling almost the entire company to Tencent. At that time, Ubisoft was unable to offer further details, but told IGN that it would “inform the market if and when it was relevant”.
