Venom from Drachenwald points out an article from the Financial Times Germany: "It says that Ubi has contacted some other companies to prevent an EA takeover, for example Elevation Partners (Members for example ex-EA executive Chief John Riccitiello, ex-Apple financial Chief Fred Anderson), there are also rumors about contacts with Take 2 Interactive and Activision."
