Media conglomerate Vivendi has sold its remaining shares in video games company Ubisoft, making a capital gain of 220 million euros ($249 million).
Vivendi said on Tuesday that the remaining shares represented a 5.9 percent stake in Ubisoft. It sold the whole stake for 429 million euros.
“Vivendi is no longer a Ubisoft shareholder and maintains its commitment to refrain from purchasing Ubisoft shares for a period of five years,” Vivendi said in a statement.
“Vivendi, which already owns Gameloft, a global leader in mobile video games, confirms its intention to continue to strengthen its position in the video games sector,” it added.
Including this sale, Vivendi has sold 2 billion euro worth of Ubisoft shares and pocketed a capital gain of 1.2 billion euros.
