What Vivendi is not trying to buy Ubisoft, they're trying to stage a hostile takeover. Microsoft just straight up bought Rare. First, they sent people to negotiate with Rare's people, a purchase price was agreed upon, Microsoft paid Rare's owner that price and wham, Microsoft now owned Rare.

What Vivendi is doing is much, much worse. First of all, Ubisoft does not want to sell to Vivendi. They do not want Vivendi to become the majority stockholders. Vivendi don't care. They're trying to buy up enough of Ubisoft stocks so that they'll have at least 51% of all stocks and thus can do whatever they want to the company. At the next board meeting, they can fire all board members and replace them with people of their own choosing, so they'll have complete control over Ubisoft.
