Grammar lesson, an is used when the following word starts with a vowel SOUND not just a vowel. Ubisoft starts with a consonant y sound and should not be preceded with an. That is why this sentence reads a little weird and the professional writers who wrote this headline should have known this, (it's also possible they though Ubisoft was pronounced OOH-BEE-SOFT but not knowing that seems more unforgivable for a gaming journalist)

EDIT: I AM INCORRECT. I misread the French IPA pronunciation of Ubisoft and have been mispronouncing Ubisoft. The journalist is correct.

Activist investors should be sidelined by any means necessary.

A minority Ubisoft investor (...) noting that Ubisoft's share price has fallen by over 40% since last year. Accordingly, Krupa wants the board to "take Ubisoft private or allow it to sell to strategic investor"

Looks to me as if someone wanted a fast lever and with that failing now they'd like to sell ASAP

EDIT:

AJ Investments appear to be new kids on the block as Ubisoft minority shareholders. According to Krupa, "we started our Ubisoft position couple weeks ago and are still adding to it". They do, however, boast of their "extensive knowledge about the gaming industry" after being a "long-term shareholder in Activision Blizzard".

"We cannot understand the decision-making process of current management

U-huh

I dont understand laying developers off. Lay off marketing, support staff, HR, communications...literally anything but what makes your product.
