To Tencent perhaps? Tencent is only currently a minority shareholder, they don't own Ubisoft.
Isn't it a French company?
With studios all over the world including 4 in the US.
If they have studios on US soil (and they have several) you have to satisfy regulatory body in US as well (probably the same goes for Canada and any other subsidiary). Typically when Chinese company buys multinational and US lawmakers aren't happy, subsidiaries inside United States are sold to third party or C-level are "very sad" to fire everyone working in US.
How UBISoft treated Division is a prime example how their leadership really doesn't know what they are doing.

The video game industry crash. After 40 years of growth, it is so mismanaged to stagnate during covid (how!?) and finally losses last year. After the first layoff spree in 2022. There are no new revenue streams and big publishers are overinvested due to projected growth. It does not mean there will be some hard crash, but I expect it because of how clueless the big publishers are. Instead of just making all kinds of games better, the suits just chase the biggest trends and try to conquer them by showering money at it. We are past the point where the publishers often don't know how to do again the hits of the past, they can only make worse versions. And the gold cows are now milked dry.
