Vivendi SA said Monday that it is increasing its stake in Spanish media conglomerate Prisa to 9.9%.

"Buying shares in Prisa is part of Vivendi's ongoing strategy to become a global leader in content, media and communications, while extending its access to the Spanish-speaking markets in Europe, Latin America and US Hispanics," the French media giant said.

Vivendi said its move comes after the company acquired a 7.6% stake in its rival on Friday.
