ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 29, 2016:
UBISOFT Shareholders express their support
for Ubisoft strategy and management

Paris, September 29, 2016 - The Combined General Meeting of shareholders of Ubisoft was held on September 29, 2016 in Bagnolet and was chaired by Mr. Yves Guillemot.

Quorum was established at 76.54%. The shareholders expressed massive support for the strategy and the management of Ubisoft, approving all the ordinary resolutions submitted at the AGM, in particular:

  • The re-election of Mr. Yves Guillemot and Mr. Gérard Guillemot as directors;
  • The appointment of two new independent directors, Frédérique Dame et Florence Naviner;
  • The components of the compensation of the Company's executive corporate officers for the financial year ended March 31, 2016.

Within the extraordinary portion of the General Meeting, some resolutions were rejected due to Vivendi's systematic obstruction, impeding the proper functioning of the Company, in particular regarding its competitive compensation policy for its talents.

The detailed results of the votes are available on the Company's website under the section "General Meeting".

Board of Directors

Ubisoft's Board of Directors gathered after the General Meeting and unanimously reappointed Yves Guillemot as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

Following the re-election and the appointments of directors, the Board of Directors now comprises 10 members, including five independent directors and four women. Ubisoft therefore reaches its stated objective of 50% independent Board members, and plans to exceed this threshold by 2017 at the latest.

Yves Guillemot, Chairman and CEO of Ubisoft said: "We are delighted by the continued support of the vast majority of our shareholders. Ubisoft is confidently pursuing its strategy of growth and value creation."
