BOARD MEMBER MANDATE RENEWALS
- In light of the Board evolutions of the past few years, these renewals are important to maintain its continuity and seniority
- Michel, Claude and Christian Guillemot have provided precious value and have helped delivered share price overperformance versus major indexes over the past 10 years and since IPO
- They all bring a deep knowledge of the Video Game industry (105 years of cumulated experience), production challenges, hardware momentum and management of companies in the tech industry
- Deep commitment and full alignment with shareholders
- With Laurence Hubert-Moy and Didier Crespel, the Board has accomplished profound transformation, including reaching at minimum 50% independence as well as the full independence of the Audit and Nomination, Compensation & Governance Committees.
- They had a critical role, notably in setting up the Audit Committee, delivering a revamped compensation scheme that has been fully supported by shareholders and implementing contingency plans that proved very valuable when all employees moved to WFH during the Covid crisis
- Didier Crespel, as LID, has been in regular and direct relation with shareholders over the past 5 years to provide insight on how the Board operates
- They have all proven their ability to challenge Ubisoft management and to ensure the company continuously adapts and evolves in a fast-changing industry.

NOT OVERBOARDED
Despite their executive officer roles at Guillemot Corporation SA, Ubisoft and AMA Corporation Ltd (a technology company founded by Christian Guillemot that is currently in the process of being listed), Michel, Claude and Christian Guillemot are not overboarded, including under the AFEP MEDEF code. The number
and nature of the different seats held by Michel, Claude and Christian has not increased over the past 20
years. It is important that Ubisoft shareholders remember that the Guillemot brothers are co-founders of and investors in the companies and have demonstrated their ability to fully assume their responsibilities. Also, Guillemot Corporation SA has a market cap of c. €200m and AMA has expected revenue for 2022 of €32m. As
such, we do not consider that these mandates have the potential to threaten the attendance and
involvement of Michel, Claude and Christian Guillemot at Ubisoft or that Guillemot Corporation truly
constitutes an "outside" company.
