Vivendi Priced $2 billion of Notes in Three Tranches due 2015, 2018 and 2022

Vivendi has agreed to sell:

• $550 million in amount of 2.4% notes due 2015 at a price equal to 99.994% of the principal amount,

• $650 million in amount of 3.45% notes due 2018 at a price equal to 99.962% of the principal amount,

• $800 million in amount of 4.75% notes due 2022 at a price equal to 99.662% of the principal amount.

This operation is part of a private offering to qualified institutional buyers following Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and outside the United States to non-US persons in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act.

Vivendi intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to fund its concurrent tender offer for any and all of its outstanding $700 million 5.750% notes due 2013. The remaining proceeds will be used to refinance drawings under Vivendi’s bank facilities.

This financing falls within Vivendi’s objective of rebalancing its debt structure between bank debt and bond debt. The issuance of the notes in U.S. dollars also enables Vivendi to diversify its bond investor base and to increase the average duration of its debt.
