Regulatory News:
Despite their divergent views, and after the very poor results
announced by Lagardère a few days ago, Vivendi (Paris:VIV) and
Amber Capital have decided to sign a pact.
Vivendi and Amber Capital, respectively the first and second
largest shareholders of Lagardère with 23.5% and 20% of the share
capital, will initiate steps in this framework with Lagardère to
each seek a minority Supervisory Board representation of three
members for Amber Capital and one member for Vivendi.
The two companies also wanted to stabilize the Lagardère
shareholding by entering today into a five-year reciprocal first
offer and preemption rights agreement on their Lagardère
shares.
The text of the agreement was sent to the Autorité des Marchés
Financiers (AMF), the French financial markets authority, which
will ensure the required publicity according to the
regulations.
