Brief Excerpt:

...Good afternoon, and good morning, everybody. Thank you for joining our conference call. As announced last week, we are implementing new changes to our organization. While they are having a negative impact on our short-term performance, we expect they will generate sufficient value over the coming years. Ubisoft has a history of making moves intended to spare its long-term prospects that have led to very significant value creation for its shareholders over the past 5 years. Ten years ago, we focused our strategy on our biggest franchises, and we put in place the lead and associate studio organization. Six years ago, we decided to increase the production time between the alpha and the release date for our games.

Question: Robert Berg - Joh. Berenberg, Gossler & Co. KG, Research Division - Analyst : A couple of questions left for me. The first, I'm slightly confused by the message on the Division 2. Last week, you pointed to it being a disappointment and a reason behind the downgrade this year. Today, you're saying it's setting reactivation records and you're keen to say how well it's doing. I just want you to try and summarize everything together and what is the message we should be taking away for this game? And the second question on the convertible. Again, I'm keen to hear why you decided to issue another convertible. Did you consider other sources of finance? And why did you come to the conclusion that the convertible was the most appealing?


Question: Robert Berg - Joh. Berenberg, Gossler & Co. KG, Research Division - Analyst : And just a very quick follow-up. Do we assume that everybody in the previous convertible converted, is that the bit -- what we should be assuming. REFINITIV STREETEVENTS | www.refinitiv.com | Contact Us consent of Refinitiv.

Question: Benjy Scurlock - Arete Research Services LLP - Analyst : Just on cross play. I was wondering if you can comment on whether you see any increase in engagement in Brawlhalla after introducing cross play feature. And whether you have any plans to implement the feature across your larger franchises? And what you think it could do for engagement?
