Vivendi SA said Monday it has entered into exclusive negotiations with Bertelsmann SE & Co. KGaA for the acquisition of Prisma Media.

The French media giant said press publishing group Prisma Media, a subsidiary of Gruner + Jahr--which is part of German media conglomerate Bertelsmann--would complement the scope of Vivendi's existing activities.

"According to applicable regulation, the contemplated acquisition remains subject to the information and consultation with the relevant employee representative bodies, and to the finalization of legal documentation," Vivendi said.
