A Ubisoft spokesperson told Axios: “This is the personal decision of Yves Guillemot, taking into account that the company has not yet met the financial targets publicly advertised to the market.”
The money Guillemot gives up constitutes his “annual variable compensation,” or a bonus percentage of his fixed salary, which fluctuates based on performance (such as sales, etc.). Guillemot will receive 53.1% of the “fixed salary” in fiscal 2021, but it will only receive $657,000 (about 4.4 million yuan).
