Barclays reduces its stake in Ubisoft below 5%

On January 9, 2026, a threshold crossing declaration was registered concerning Ubisoft Entertainment, listed on Euronext Paris. London-based Barclays Plc announced that it had crossed below the 5% threshold of Ubisoft's share capital on January 5, 2026. It now holds 6,624,223 shares, representing 4.92% of the share capital and 4.45% of the voting rights.

This change stems from an off-market share sale. Barclays indirectly controls these shares through its subsidiaries, Barclays Bank Plc and Barclays Capital Securities Limited. In addition, Barclays announced it holds 3,113,347 shares through a securities lending agreement with a recall option. It also holds positions in 3,510,876 shares through complex financial contracts, including CFDs and portfolio swaps.
